Basketball 1933-34 At the first call for basketball forty-two responded the first night. Gradually the squad was cut to twelve with Michaelson, Strom, Johnson, Burkholder, Zahler, Hjelseth. Bailion, Thompson, Young, Edstrom, Monkbert, and Caswell composing the squad. Captain Strom and Michaelson were the only lettermen back from last year’s squad, leaving a very green inexperienced small squad for Coach Anderson to work on. Hudson, defensively, was one of the strongest teams m the dis- trict, but their inability to hit the basket from the free throw line and field, was the cause of their unimpressive season. Their floor play was equal to that of their opponents if not better. Captain Strom played a stellar game throughout the season.

Resume of Games HUDSON vs COLFAX I he locals upset all tli dope taking Colfax on their own field 10-7. Strom ran wild to make ail of Hudson's ten points. With the score tied 7-7 and with hut a few minutes to play he kicked a beautiful drop kick from one end of the 25 yard line which cleared the posts squarely, giving Hudson a three |x int lead. HUDSON vs ELLSWORTH Eleven Hudson stars took the field as the locals held the highly tooted Ells- worth squad to a 0-0 tie. HUDSON vs RIVER FALLS It was an over confident Hudson football team that pranced out upon the River balls field that rainy Friday afternoon, but a sad and ragged looking eleven that limped slowly back to the dressing room after taking a 18-6 beating. Ac- cording to the season s scores for the two teams and all the pre-game dope Hudson should have easily taken the boys into camp but the locals were just too sure of themselves. Holt and I .arson starred on defense. Capt. Holt was forced from the last period of play with a bad leg that bothered him from time to time throughout the season. HUDSON vs NEW RICHMOND Homecoming Much to New Richmond’s disgust Hudson took them to the cleaners 12-7 in a hard fought, typical Hudson-New Richmond football melee. Dean Lvksett, who broke his wrist several weeks ago, returned to the play and proved himself to be a very consistent ball carrier. HUDSON vs SPRING VALLEY The local eleven failed to show their usual pep and punch when they nosed out Spring Valley 6-0 on tlve Hudson field. A i ass, Burkholder to Schullo, late in the third period resulted in Hudson’s only score. In the final quarter, Larson intercepted a Spring Valley pass in his own territory and throwing him- self forward began a spectacular run right through the entire Spring Valley team: with arms and legs flying all around him he reached the 16 yard line before he was thrown off balance and downed. The Spring Valley defense tightened up, however, and held the locals for no gain, as the final whistle ended the game 6-0. HUDSON vs MENOMONIE Hudson was defeated by Menomonie in the last game of the season 16-0. Despite the fight of Hudson’s lightweights they were completely outclassed by the Superior Menomonie outfit. Menomonie's touchdown in the first three min- utes of play took the heart out of Coach Anderson’s aggregation, but nevertheless they put up forty minutes of game fighting. Thus ended a rather successful season with four victories, two defeats and a tie. Captain Holt. Harry Johnson, Frank Richie, and Clark Michaelson graduate this year and their absence will be greatly felt when the team rounds into shape this fall.

Resume of Basketball Season, ,33-,34 HUDSON vs ELLSWORTH Hudson’s basketball season started off with a bang when the locals galloped over the Ellsworth aggregation to the time cf 21-18. Although Ellsworth did not have the outfit, local fans looked forward seeing the locals put on a good show considering the fact that they had been practicing for such a short period of time. Johnson was high point man with a total of ten points. HUDSON vs COLFAX Coach Anderson’s cagers came out on the short end of a 22-10 score when Hudson met the far superior passing and shooting Colfax five on the local’s floor. HUDSON vs NEW RICHMOND Humping up against a five squad in orango and black the locals took a 19-11 nosedive. New Richmond got off to an early leid which was never seriously threatened by the locals. HUDSON vs MENOMONIE Captain Strom took the lime light as Hud- son defeated Menomonie in a hard fought game on the local floor when, with but a minute or so left to play he dropped in two gift shots, followed by a short shot giving Hudson the game £3-21. HUDSON vs RIVER FALLS The fast River Falls five nosed out the lo:al boys 22-17. The boys in b’ue made a fine showing again the superior hoys from the Normal town. HUDSON vs NEW RICHMOND Hudson was defeated by New Richmond for the second time in the season. 19-12, when the boys in blue went up to the home of the Irish Unlike most Hudson-New Richmond scrambles, this game was slow and uninterest- ing—not even one fight! HUDSON vr ELLSWORTH In a game that was slow, and far from nerve-racking, the local cagers defeated the Ellsworth five by a score of 20-8. Trailing at the half by a score of 6-4. the locals came back to take the third quarter. 20-8. in one grand scoring splurge led by Johnson and Strom. HUDSON vs COLFAX Colfax defeated Hudson for the second time in the season by a score of 15-9. Colfax’s zone i.efense worl ed to perfection on their narrow floor but never were they in the lead by any safe margin. HUDSON vs RIVER FALLS Hudson had little chance against the rangy, more experienced River Falls team and as a result took the short end of the 28-8 score. HUDSON vs SPRING VALLEY In one of the best games of the season Hudson lost to Spring Valley 23-20. It was a r.ip-and-tuck batt e throughout the entire per- iod of play, the score being tied 7-7 at the first quarter. 13-13 at the half, and 15-16 in favor of the locals at the end of the third ciuarter. DISTRICT T IJRXAMRNT Hudson vsjdairmonel 24-21 Hudson vs Prescott 27-18 With such men as Hj lseth. Zahler, Baillon, Monkbert, Thompion. BurKhoh er and Captain f’trom, next year’s team should be fairly strong. Johnson and M chaelson graduate.
