In the first round Campbell defeated Beardsley, and Starbuck easily won from Herman by the score of 20-9. In the consola- tion game the following night Herman defeated Beardsley by a comfort- able margin. The championship game between Campbell and Starbuck con- tained enough thrills to satisfy any crowd. Campbell led 11-3 at the half. Starbuck fans strove to conceal their feelings and keep that determined Viking spirit glittering in their eyes. When the second half began the tide had turned. Point by point Starbuck reduced the lead until with 45 sec- onds of play left the score 18-20 in Campbell's favor. In those 45 remain- ing seconds things happened. Just as the final gun sounded Starbuck got a field goal tying the score. In the overtime period Starbuck won by a score 24 to 20. This is the first district tournament Starbuck has won. REGIONAL TOURNAMENT The long season began to tell on the team during the Regional tourn- ement and as a result the team didn't play up to expectations.

Crosby defeat- ed Glenwood in the final for the championship. , Basketball is only four years old at Starbuck High School, and during that time much success has been achieved. In these four years we have played a total of 74 games, winning 52 and losing 22. Each succeeding sea- son has been more successful than the former one.

I l Q Basketball A p After a short vacation from football, basketball was begun. Approxi- mately twenty-five men reported for practice and remained until the end of the season. As in football Starbuck again raised the record in basketball by winning twenty-two out of twenty-five games including tournament and second-team games. Starbuck has been defeated only once on their home fioorg that being in the 1930-1931 season., This season Starbuck gained 600 points to the opponents 320. PARKERS PRAIRIE 153 STARBUCK 18 In the opening game Starbuck defeated Parkers 18-15 in a slow game. In the return game we again defeated them 28-15. MELROSE 85 STARBUCK 19 In the first basketball game between these two teams Starbuck easily defeated Melrose 19-8. When Melrose played the return game here they were again defeated by the one sided score of 49-11. HANCOCK 95 STARBUCK 12 Hancock came here determined to win and came close to doing so. Hancock led during the half, but in the final period the Starbuck team, re- freshed by Coach Engebretson's advice, came back and won 12 to 9. , In the return game at Hancock, Starbuck showed their superiority in winning by the decisive score of 33-18. ALUMNI 143 STARBUCK 38 During the Christmas Holidays the annual Alumni game was staged. Our predecessors displayed talent, but the superior team play and ex- perience of the High School boys resulted in a victory. The Alumni were forced to acknowledge defeat when their Alma Mater won 38-14. MORRIS 223 STARBUCK 32 In the first of the two games with Morris the Macmen came here and displayed a good brand of basketball. There was a considerable amount of scoring in the game for both teams. The final score was 32-22. In the return game at Morris Starbuck again was victorious by a 29-18 score. GLENWOOD 15: STARBUCK 13 Starbuck met its first and only defeat of the regular season when we were upset by Glenwood. The low ceiling and small playing floor handicap- ped our team to such an extent that we were defeated by two points. The score was 13-15. The return game here will always linger in our mind. The gym doors were opened at six-thirthy and by game time the gymnasium was filled to capacityg many being turned away. Before this excited hungry crowd Starbuck won by a score of 22-14. ' BENSON 113 STARBUCK 37 In an unexciting game here Starbuck easily defeated Benson 37-11. The Starbuck seconds also won from the Benson Reserves 11-7. In the return game history repeated itself.
