For several rea- sons Dysart came home with the short end of the score. Our team consisted of practically green men that had had no experience with the Hrst five. A small floor and the slow work of the referee were also big factors in our defeat. LA PORTE 10-DYSART 4l The second game was between Dysart and La Porte on December 14, at Dysart. The Hrst half ended 9 to 4 in favor of La Porte. Pronting by the Belle Plaine game, Dysart came back strong in the last half and played the La Porte boys off their feet. The game ended 4l to l0 in favor of Dysart. TRAER Z8-DYSART 34 V On December I8 we traveled to Traer for the big game of the season. Our old rival expected to win and was very conndent, but the end of the game proved that we were the better team. The nrst half ended I6 to I4 in favor of Traer. but our strong comeback in the last half gave us the lead inthe Hnal score. ' GRUNDY CENTER I3 - DYSART 29 A During the holiday vacation Grundy Center came to Dysart and expected to go back with the long end of the score. In spite of the fact that Captain Reimer, Mehlhouse and Ackerman were forced out of the game on fouls, Grundy had to be content with the short end of the score. The three subs were inserted and still the ball seemed to travel through the Dysart hoop quite regularly. SPRINGVILLE 29 - DYSART I9 The next game was played on the Springville floor against the fast quintet from that city. The game was fast from start to nnish, but for some reason we were unable to get into our regular stride. The Hnal score was in Springville's favor with a ten point lead to their credit. TRAER IS- DYSART 35 On january 6 Traer came down for a return game, Traer started out with a six point lead, but we were able to make the score at the end of the Hrst half 7 to 7. We came back in the last half with the old pep and fight, which gave us a seventeen point lead at the end of the game. VINTON 24-DYSART 70 The next game was played on the home floor with the Vinton team. The Vinton boys played good, fast basket ball, but they were unable to compete with their superiors. All of the tirst eight regulars were used which gave them good experi- ence for future games in which they were to take part. CLADBROOK 39 - DYSART 37 At this time we had reached the middle of the season. On january 20 we trav- eled to Cladbrook for a game with the team of that city. Reports coming from this town made us overconhdent and for this reason we came home with the short end of the score. Fifty-One

We came home with the long end of the score, having given them a severe beating. This was the second defeat IH two years that Grundy had encountered on their own floor, Traer being the other town to accomplish such a feat. Morrison, their star man, was held to two baskets. , SPRINGVILLE Zl - DYSART 34 On February 4 Springville came to Dysart for the return game. We were de- termined to keep up the record of not losing a game on the home floor that had been established before us. The game was fast from start to Hnish, and Spring- ville had to be content with the short end of the score. The fast floor work of the Dysart forwards, and an occasional basket from the center of the floor by Nlehl- house were the big factors in our victory. BELLE PLAINE I0-DYSART 35 The following week after the Springville game, Belle Plaine journeyed to Dysart for a return game. Having lost at Belle Plaine we determined to make things even. Captain Reimer was forced out of the game in the first ten minutes, but this did ?ot stop Dysart from getting the baskets. The final score ended 35 to I0 in our avor. LA PORTE I3-DYSART 25 We traveled to La Porte on February 13 to play our return game. The Hrst half ended 19 to 5 in favor of Dysart. La Porte came back strong in the second half, but we succeeded in coming home with the long end of the score. GLADBROOK 17 - DYSART 30 The last home game of the season was played with Gladbrook. We determined to even things with this team also, because they had defeated us before. The game was rough from beginning to end, but we succeeded in taking the long end of the score. Every substitute was used and for this reason the score was kept down. i VINTON Z5-DYSART 40 We closed our season on the Vinton floor in a game with the quintet from that city. We were forced to play on a small floor, but this did not seem to bother our men. The final score ended in our favor with a hfteen point lead. W An Appreriatinn We, the basket ball team of Dysart High School, wish to take this opportunity to thank the patrons of the school that have so liberally supported us this season and generously helped in a Hnancial way in the purchasing of honor sweaters for us. There is nothing we could say that would express our thanks and appreciation, but we hope that the teams of D. H. S. in the future will be treated as well.
