Redskins Lose Hoop Tits to
Conrad and Cut Bank in Past
Week; Lions Win over Shelby

Last Friday the Browning In
dialB journeyed to Cut Bank
where they lost a highly exciting
basketball game to a favored
Cut Bank team ID to 81.
As the first quarter got under
way the Indians jumped into an
early lead and weren't headed
until the last quarter. The sec
ond quarter was a repetition IF
the first with Browning holding
a 4 point bulge at the half 5 to
8.
In the third quarter the
Wolves buckled down and thew
worked the score to a tie. In
this quarter Browning was I'M
able to hit the hoop and their
early lead went glimmering. As
the game progressed quite
number of fouls were called on
the boys from the Reservation
and this demoralized them So that
they went completely to pieces
and Cut Bank went on a scoring
spree to win by a comfortable
score.

! In the main event the Conrad
Cowboys whipped the Browning
Indians decisiveIy 20 to II.
In the initial quarter Conrad
started the fireworks by sinking
five field goals on shots from far
out before Browning made
counter. Although the Cowboys
were often unable to penetrate
Browning's defense, when they
did they made their shots good.
In the first half the Redskins
failed to connect on some easy
shots and the half saw them
trailing 16 to 7.
When the second half opened
Browning began to connect with
few counters. but for every
basket the local boys made the
Cowboys would come through
with one for themselves. Towards
the end of the third quarter and
beginning of the fourth Brown
ing kept the crowd on their toes
when they narrowed the Conrad
lead to six points, but Conrad
soon spurted again and coasted
the few remaining minutes to
% to II win.
