In the last five minutes of play Hudson gave an exhibition of team work which sent the crowd wild. They played their opponents off their feet and the members of the team said afterwards that had Hudson had a few more minutes to play they would have won. As it was Spring Valley pulled out two points ahead. About ten minutes before the end of the game Starr Denniston was put in in place of Anderson. Denniston is eligible, but owing to the fact that his name had not been placed on the certified list was liable to play, be- cause he was protested. The lineup: Hudson: — H. Hodgins and C. Olson, 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

12 TRUK HLUK of the fact that this is the first year many of the girls have ever played, and that this was the first real game any of them ever played, it was a goon fast game thruout, and one of interest to all. The first game was played between the Junior-Senior team and the Sophomores. The Junior-Senior team won by a score of 5 to 1. The line-up was as follows: Junior-Senior Team:—Jumping Center—I enora Borge; Side Center— Isabelle Utman; l,eft Forwerd—Elvira Erickson; Right Forward—Bernice Nelson; I eft Guard—Lois Zimmerman; Right Guard—Emma Peterson. Sophomore Team:—Jumping Center—Viola Solheim; Side ('enter— .Monica Loughney; Left Forward—Cecilia Recker; Right Forward—Virginia Clark; Left Guard—Norma Everson; Right Guard—Nellie Walstrum. After a brief rest the Juniors and Seniors as the winning team, played the Freshmen. Again the Junior-Senior team was victorious, winning this game by a score of 5 to 2. The line-up was as follows: Junior-Senior Team:—Jumping Center—Lenora' Borge; Side Center— Isabelle Utman; Iveft Forward—Alva Erickson; Right Forward—Bernice Nelson; I eft Guard—Nora Stapleton; Right Guard—Emma Peterson. Freshmen Team:—Jumping Center—Janie Hodgins; Side Center— Frieda Blomholm; Left Forward—Mary TourteLot; Right Forward— Vir- ginia Clark; Left Guard—Anna Arnquist; Right Guard—Josephine Lough ney. It is to be hoped that the boys, or at least some of them, will learn a few of the girls’ rules before the next game, so they will not expose their ignorance by unjust criticism of the girls’ playing and the game. GIRL’S BASKET BALL Tuesday evening, Feb. 27th the girls played their second prelinminary game at the Armory. This was not a class game, but was played more for practice. The lineup was as follows: Team A:—Jumping Center, Lenora Borge; Side Center, Monica Lough ney; Forward, Mary Tourtellot and Bernice Nelson; Guards, Anna Arnquist and Isabelle Utman. Team B:—Jumping Center, Lois Zimmerman; Side Center, Ne lie Walstrum; Forward, Elvira Erickson and Eileen Burke: Guards, Norma Everson and Frieda Blomholm. The first half ended with a score of 4 to 0, in favor of team A. Mar Tourtellot and Bernice Nelson each made a basket. The second half started with a slight change of lineup. Isabelle Utman was put on Team B as guard in Norma Everson’s place, and Josephine Loughney guard on team A. This half team B made six baskets making the final score 12 to 4 in favor of team B. Elvira Erickson made four baskets, and Eileen Burke two. This was an interesting game thruout and shows that the girls are improving.
