In the second half it looked as if Hudson might win. but both teams came back strong and the River Falls aggregation remained one point to the good. With but a few minutes left to play Beggs shot a free throw thus tying the game 14 to 14. However Beggs was not credited with his free throw. We were not aware of this until after the game was ended, and although we entered a protest, nothing could be done as the referee had already awarded the game, so the official score is 14 tQ 13 in favor of R. F. H. S. To all Hudsonites the score was 14 to 14. This game was a big disappointment to us, but we still believe we are superior to the River Falls quint. They should be given the credit of putting up a stiff fight and Hudson’s five will have to play fast ball to win from them on their own floor. With Hudson all played well. Borge, Hosford, and Beggs as guards f®r Hudson worked well together, while Coit at center held his man to one basket. Hodgins was in the game at all times while Anderson played a plucky game against his much larger opponent. We play River Falls at on River Falls Feb. 22. Why not have each class get up a sleigh-ride party so that we mav send a large delegation to the return game? The lineup: -Hudson—H. Hodgins, R. F.; P. Anderson. L. F.; l ew Coit, C.; H. Hosford, R.

The final windup was Hudson vs. Spring Valley. Spring Valley has waited many years for a chance to “crow'’ over Hudson, and as • all things come to those who wait, their chance came Jan. »29, and 13-11 was what they had to “crow” over. Spring Valley has a good team, better than River Falls, for their team work and basket shooting was more accurate. However they lacked endurance, taking out time twice, when apparently uninjured, and during the last half they were nearly “all in.” Hudson owes its defeat to poor basket shooting. It has been a characteristic of the Hudson team to come back much stronger in the second half and this game was no exception. The first, half the Spring Valley quintet had it mostly their own way as the score, 12 to ! in their favor, would indicate, but the second was vice versa. With a score of 12 to 4 against them Hudson came back into the game wtih a do or die spirit. It would seem that as Spring Valley had the advantage in the first half, that about the best Hudson could do was to hold them even, but sucii was not the case. From the minute the whistle blew to the end of the game it was Hudson’s all through. Spring Valley made but one point while Hudson scored seven, Coit making one basket and Borge two. Anderson, while endeavoring to shoot a basket, was fouled, and although he shot the basket the referee ruled that the whistle was blown before the ball was in the air. Anderson was then awarded one point as a gift because of being
