E THE TALEBEARER BASKETBALL SEASGN REVIEW Our basket ball season this year was a successful one. Even though the scores were not all in our favor, the team kept up its record of good sportsmanship. The opening game of the conference season was on December 10, with Durand High School teams. The lightweight team played the Durand lights, leading them throughtout the game and closing the game with a score of 7-5 in Dakota's favor. The next game of the evening was between the heavyweight teams of the two schools. Dakota again kept the long end of the score and the game ended with a Hnal score of 12-5 in Dakota's favor. The second game was with VVinslow at VVinslow on December 17. The second team bowed to defeat with a score of 10-7 at the close of the game. However, the first team came back in the second game of the evening and won the game on free throws. The final score being 3-2. On January 7, our teams journeyed to Durand where the lights played a very close game. The score at the half being 9-5 in favor of Durand. The local boys found the basket, however, in the last half and closed the game with a score of 10-9 in favor of Dakota. The first team then matched up with the Durand team, and after a hard struggle on the large iioor of Durand's new gym, they lost the game by a score of 17-11. The next Friday night Jan. 14 the Orangeville Pickerings our old rivals came to Dakota seeking victory. Although the Dakota lights swamped the Orangeville seconds under a final score of 8-3, the big battle of the evening favored Orangeville. The score at the half was 4 up, but the Pickerings came back strong in the last two periods of the game and brought their score ahead, finishing the game with a score of 10-7. The most exciting game of the season took place on January 21, with Pearl City at Pearl City. This was a thrilling game with the score standing 4-1 in Dakota's favor at the half. Only after a hard fight were the boys de- feated in a three minute over time game by a score of 10-8. While the first team was bent on defeating Pearl City, the second string of men were practicing for their return game with VVinslow on January 28. They were out for revenge and showed their ability by swamping their op- ponents under a score of 7-6. The same evening the first string local quintet defeated the Winsloxv team by a score of 26-14. Un February ll, the teams again met the Orangeville men on the Orangeville floor. The lightweight team won their battle by a score of 15-12.
