Two weeks of strenuous praetiee put the team in eondition for the first game, which was played with Stephen on our floor, 'l'he result was a vietory forthe Aggies. A return game was played a week later on Str-phen's floor in whieh they took revenge by beating our team by one point. These were the only games played before the holidays. Basketball was resumed again with renewed interest at the start of' the winter tcrm. Prevailing siekness among several of the first team men was a big ohstaele in the way of keeping the team in first elass eondition during the season. lfrling Gor- den, regular forward before fhristmas. did not return to sehool beeause of this. Sickness was partly the reason why we lost. by a narrow margin. to 'l'hief River Falls on their home floor. In one of the most exeiting games ever played on the home floor, the Aggies beat the Strong Fertile team. tournament winners of distriet two. YVhen the time was up, the seore was a tie. and an overtime period in whieh Skatvohl and Gandrud both scored field goals ended the game in favor of the Aggies. The game at Ada. where our team played the fast Ada squad. turned out a dceided victory for our opponents. The Aggies were unable to eheek .Mlals repeated seor- lllg.

Torgerson Spokely 15Cl'g'gl'l'll Stordahl Confer lioisum XVollebeck The Juniors have shown their ability in basketball by winning all games to date. The outa-ome of the final game in which they will play the Advanced is not known at this time, but their cliant-es for winning the interulass championship are good. Un- tlonbtedly the .lnnior team will furnish good material for the school team next year. Zlirmahman Qllazz Zileam Due to their lack of experience in basketball, it is but natural to expect the Fresh- men to lose to tht-ir more experienced opponents. In the games played the right spirit and iight were very obvious. This offsets the fact that they lost. YVith more practice, together with the right spirit, the Freshmen team will develop several good players. I Jannnan Cowles Johnson Dovk Elton Gantlrucl Ocllaml Ityclm-n Page Fiftyatliree

The game with llosston was fast and hard fought. Luchau, playing center for the Aggies. showed his ability as a star player by scoring four field goals out of five attempts. lt is regrettable that illness prevented him from playing the remainder of the season. Like all other contests with the llvest Central School at Morris, the annual bas- ketball game is always keenly anticipated by the Aggies. The game this year was no exception. It was looked forward to as the most important on our schedule. The flroolcston Aggies went into the game with a determination to win and, as a result. Morris was completely outelassed. Accurate shooting and driving team work on the part of our team gave them the lead early in the game, and from then on they had their opponents bewildered. Due to close guarding by Ostlie, Morris was unable to malce many scores. The fast work of Hedstrand was very eileetive in breaking up their plays. Honors go to Gandrud, Skatvold, and Stenborg for their scoring during the game. This was the best game played by our team this season. 'l'he last game was with the Bemidji 'l'eaehers at Bemidji, which resulted in a 19-16 victory for the Aggies. Credit for developing from a squad of pi-at-tit-ally all inexperienced men, a team that has won the respeet of the various teams played, is due Coat-hi D. H. La Voi. assisted by ll. A. Milligan.
