Salem won their 3rd in a row
in a battle with West for 1st place
The home fans at the packed Me-
mortal Hall sighed with relief as
the final gun sounded and the
Ouakers had upset the dope to
drop the Favored Ramblers. The
Sanders coached team played a
great game as single unit and
they were matched by the inspired
West team as they both fought
hard for the much wanted victory.
The final score was 54-26 and the
scoring was we'll distributed by
both teams and each team made
but one substitution. The Salem
lassies too upset the girls from
West by the close score of 14-ll
as Fritzman led her team to vic
tory. AS usual Pelger stood out
for West. Alliance won twin VIC
tory from neighboring Canton, the
girls game was an exhibition end
ed 1919 as Faik and Murtz scored
Spts. each. In the boys game Alli-

ponents 46-ll. The champs of last
year played in rare form and after
the first quarter Canton had no
chance. Schmidt (l2) and C..

drive. Elges (4) was high for Cam

both games. The girls contest was
close the lst half but the fast pass
ing Homestead girls put on the
pressure in the final periods and
coasted in isis. A. Bair (S) and
Orend (7) Of Homestead and
Brenner and Conrad stood out.
The young home team upset the
East boys 81 80 in heated fray
that was close and almost always
tied trough-out. The long shots of
Lang, Homestead, center, and the
floor play of Big Wep kept the
home team rolling along with ST.
monis and Co. With a minute OF
play remaining East was leading
by one point when Homestead's
coach found Pelger open under
the basket and Bill scored the 2
precious points that meant vic
tory. East still had 2 scoring
chances but the ball just would
not go in. Simonis 1S) and Lang
