ROUNDUP DEFEAT
One In String Of Four Wins
By Locomotives Is Played
On Laurel Floor

The Laurel high school basketball
squad won four games last week
on the home court. The Locomo-
tives started the week right bv
edging a highly overrated Roundup
team 25 to "a, Wednesday night, in
what was the best game on the
local floor this season. The Laurel
team then followed with a double
victory over Joliet, 20 to 1S, and
Bridger, 81 to %, on Friday. From
berg was beaten &c to 80 by the
Locomotives Saturday night.
Laurel 25-Roundup "a
A scrappy Laurel team pulled one
of the biggest upsets of the season
by beating a veteran Roundup team
here Wednesday, Feb. 9. Roundup
had lost only one game to Billings
this season before they tangled with
the inspired Locomotives. Roundup
beat the Laurel team by II points
in the first game of the season for
the local team. Jim Sherrow scored
the first basket of the game to
give Laurel an early lead. Herb
Boyd made it 40 before Charlton,
Roundup center, put one through
the hoop. Then Bobby McCracken
made it 60 with a long shot from
the right side line and Dodds sank
one to make it Ga. Jim Whitson
made good a free throw and Ratko-
vich scored a field goal and a free
toss to tie the score, TT, at the
quarter. Laurel went ahead 9 to
7 on a field goal by Herb Boyd and
led at the half 16 to IL.
Shortly after the start of the Sec
ond half, Sherrow left the game be-
cause of fouls and Dodds made five
points to give the Roundup team a
17-16 lead. Boyd came through with
a field goal and a gift toss to make
1t 1917 for Laurel, and Paul Dull,
who went in for Sherrow, got a
basket to give Laurel a lead of 81
II. Here Roundup scored two quick
field goals to tie it up 21-21 as the
quarter ended.
Don Fellows hit one from the
center of the court to give
Laurel a lead which was held
through the last quarter. Dodds
through with a free toss to
make it 1922 Laurel. Then Jim
Whitson and Paul Dull each con-
verified a free toss to increase the
lead to 1922. Dodds sank a field
goal just before the gun ended the
furious struggle.

Sport NeUs For
Men In SerUlce
By T. FL. BENNETT,
Laurel high school principal and
athletic coach

One week from today tournament
play will open in district 6 or
the Laurel court. This is the first
year in a long time that there is
only n outstanding team. And
that means the fans will see a lot
of close games. All four opening
games, Park City-Reed Point,
Bridger-Joliet, Absarokee-Edgar and
Bearcreek- Fromberg, should be
close. Park City has three good
bows while Reed Point has one.
Joliet has Sonny Johnson who can
cause any team a lot of trouble,
but Bridger has better balance. Dur
ing the first semester Edgar had
a nice team, but two of their best
hovs have gone into the service.
Absarokee is at the bottom of the
Tri-County league. Fromberg has
in Goggins n of the best boys In
he district and Taylor is an effec-
tive forward. Bearcreek, starting
is improving. Fromberg
heat the Bearcats in early season
nlav. This should be one of the
hest of the first-round games.

ravorite to win the tournament, and
