The whole audience reverted itself into a yelling mob. Houghton was as good as lshpeming! YVho would make the next basket? lshpeming had a foul called but Houghton didu't make the free throw. Then a foul was called on Houghton. Every one stood breathless as Bilkey measured the dis- tance back and shot. The ball went in! Ishpenrng was leading by one narrow single point! Then YVimmer shot one from near the middle of the floor. lloughton was in the lead! A second later Michels sank one, again from near the center of tl1e floo1'. The score stood 21-18. The lshpeming adherents were praying for two baskets. Now McNamara had the ball! But just as he went to shoot, the gun sounded and the game was over. Houghton had taken from lshpem- ing the right to enter t-he finals of the Third Annual Basketball Tourna- ment to decide tl1e championship of the Upper Peninsula. MARQUETTE-NEGAUNEE. After '1 few minutes rest, the spectators were ready to be treated to another thrilling game. Again, like the Tshpemming-Houghton game, one side seemed to have the game einehed until the last half, The tirst half ended with Marquette in the lead 4-2. Tn the second half, Harris started things by dropping one from the side-lines. Soon team work began to show and Marquette had a lfl-2 lead over Negaunee and still going strong. Then something happened. lVhat, nobody knows but in the next five minutes. Xegaunec-'s guards held Marquette scoreless while King and Mateer sunk 'em' Two fouls were called on Marquette and both times King made the free throws. Two fouls were ealled on Xegaunee hut neither shot was Marquette able to make. YV'hen thc gun sounded for the close of the game, the two teams were deadloeked. l0-lfl. The second extra. period game of the tournament was heing played. A half minute after the gun sounded, King got, one through the ring and soon after Far- 1'er chalked up a eounter to his credit. lVorking the ball to llarquettm-'s hasket, llarris made his tenth point of the game and, sad to say. Blar- quette's la-'t point. The gun again sounded with another Marquette eoinity team out of the race. Beaudry showed up well and played fine teamwork as did Hola-an and Saari. MARQUETTE-ISHPEMING. Xllith Xlellean out of the raee it seemed impossible to hold Tshpeming, hut. the hoys did it. the first halt' ending. S-5. ln the seeond half. Paseoe. for lshpeming did the honors and the final seore was lfi-7. There was little spirit shown at this game hee-ause neither side was satisfied. lsh- peming thought she should have had her game from Houghton nad Klar- quette felt the same towards the Negannee game. The spectators sat in gloom moodily watching the players speed along. with little or no inter- est in the contest. I i

ATHLETICS NEGAUNEE-HOUGHTON. The greatest surprise of the tournament was pulled otl' by Negaunee. NYiiiniug as they did in the other three galnse, and Iloughton's defeat of ilshpeming it seemed to point to a l'loug'h1on victory. 'llhe attitude of the spectators before the gaiue started was that Neguanee had played pretty good for a buneh of small fellows but they had no show against. Houghton. That attitude was changed at the end of the first half when iNl'g2llIl!l'0 went out in the dressing room for a five minute rest with the score standing iii-2. in their favor. Something had happened to lloughton. They eouldn t start their magnifieent team work which had spelled vietory for them in their three preceding games. ln thc second half, Houghton braeed. temporarily. but it was only temporary! 'Soon King was sinking 'em at will from all parts of the eourt and Kangas was stopping men twiee his size and three times as heavy. The work of Kangas, one of the smallest men entered in the tournament was the real feature of the ganie. lVith both hips bruised and a eouplp of ribs out of kilter, he 'played the entire game, often eleuehiug his hands to keep from crying out because of the pain. Ilis work. which would have done eredit to a pipvei- twice his size, brought well earned rounds of applause from the spectators. PRIZES AWARDED.
