Terriers Take Second
Place In tournament
(Reported for The Tamarack)

The Terriers returned Sunday after
noon from one of the most successful
tournaments Libby High team has
played for many years. Out of. the
three games they played, Libby won
two and lost one, to take second place,
being topped only by Columbia Falls
In the fifth game of the first round
Libby won its first tilt by the small
margin Of five points when 1t defeated
the Lions, 23-18 in what started like a
Lion Walk-away.
The center losses were almost even,
but when the ball went into play the
Lincoln County men took and held pos
session OF 1t most of the time. Libby
could not adjust its defense to the
large floor in time, and before the first
quarter was over Eureka put itself in
front, 1913. In the second quarter Lib
by made spectacular come back when
it held the Lions scoreless while it
laid In six points.
The third quarter saw the Terriers
shoot themselves way out in front, In
the fourth period Libby's game SEEM
put away on fouls, and Eureka tenn
porarily began to gain. This lasted
only short time, though, ending when
Bert .Sleizer stood in the coffin cor
ner" and put them in.
In the fourth game of the second
round Libby walked over the fast
Saints of ST. Mathews High School of
Kalispell 24-13 This game was Lib
by victory all the way through. There
were no outstanding plays in this
game The only colorful thing hap
pened when Bert Sleizer stood on the
center line and dropped shot through
the basket. The playing floor was al
most twice as large as our home court
From here the Terriers went into the
finals 10 play the men from the Falls
in the fastest game of the tourney. In
this game Libby changed from~a man
to-man defense to shiftingzzone de-
Tense and held the Tigers but in the
center of the floor The offensive and
defensive playing was equal between
the two, but the Terriers, too, were I'M
able to work into a shooting position
Clapper and Peck, Falls center anc
forward, were held in check by Weld
man and Hampton, and most of tbs
shooting was done by the two guards
Even though Libby was able t.
bring home only second place our team
is to be congratulated So Libby close.

markets for more physical goods to be
produced at profits from our farms

Country Home, speaking before the
Farm Chemurgic Conference at Dear

blazing trails like the pioneers Our
trails may lead through laboratories
and farms and market places instead OF
through unbroken wilderness; we have
but one practical objective-the- es-
Enlistment of actual markets that pay
profits to farmers for products that 60
