About 35 boys, headed by Captain Vernon Larson, Henry Nodland, and Arthur Berg, answered this call in hopes of gaining a starting berth. After a few weeks of practice a strong aggregation was formed. With seven men making up the front line we were attacked by Osakis in one of the first games played in the state. Flight men saw service that night and pushed back the enemy to the tune of a 31 to 22 score. In spite of the fact that one veteran was out of the game in the first quarter due to a new ruling on fouling, the Bucks played a fine brand of ball and had the fans foreseeing a very successful season. Settling down into the swing of things the Bucks showed a powerful offense in trampling over Brooten 68 to 24. Wheaton and Elbow Lake t.hen fell before the hot basketeers from Starbuck by the respective scores of 36 to 24 and 20 to 16. The pace was too good, however, when they ran up against a sharp-shooting gang from Benson, and were beaten by a 29 to 27 score. The alumni then evened up the twelve game series by pounding out a 26 to I7 victory over the prepsters. After the Christmas vacation the Bucks stormed back and won I0 conseetutive games. These victims were Kensington, Fhokio, Belgrade, Wheaton, lVlorris, Benson, and two from Hancock and Alberta. The streak was broken. however, when we invaded Elbow Lake's court. After a hard-fought battle Elbow Lake emerged the victors by a 27 to 23 score. The next game was with our traditional rivals from across the lake. The home gym was packed by game time and the most thrilling battle of the season was rolled off. With about a minute left in the tlillllv. Starbuck, which had been trailing by one point. drove through for three rapid buckets and put the game on ice.

1940 CHIPPEWAN CBASKETBALL CONTINUED! the year for our neighbors. According to loyal Star- buck fans we outplayed our rivals but when the final gong sounded Glenwood was on top by a 29-27 margin. The following week we entered the Sub-District tournament at the A-C gym in Morris. In a hard fought game we came out on top of Morris High by a score of 30 to 24. The Bucks were lucky in drawing a bye for the following night while Hancock and Alberta fought it out for a chance to meet Starbuck in the fin- als. On Friday night we squared off against Hancock and defeated them by a 30 to 22 score. Thus the Bucks brought home the championship trophy. Larson, Nod- land and Opheim were named on the Sub-District first team, while A. Berg was named on the second team. In our first game of the District tourney at Wheaton we steam-rolled over Chokio by a 53 to 25 margin. Larson broke the school's individual scoring record by bucketing 27 points. Breckenridge, our next foe, had been our target for the last two years and practically our entire town moved to Wheaton to see this clash. In spite of our moral support we got off to a bad start and were unable to dethrone the champs. Breck won 38 to 28. We were defeated by two points in the consola- tion game by Elbow Lake in a bitter battle. Brecken- ridge defeated Wheaton for the championship. Larson rated the District first team while Nodland was named on the second team. Breckenridge won the regional as well as the state tournament. The regulars won 17 out of 20 games for a season's percentage of .850. They scored 684 points for an av- erage of 34 points per game. The opponents scored a total of 445 points for an average of 22 points per game. Starbuck got 218 fouls to the opponents 201. The B Team won 15 out of 21 games for a percen- tage of .7l4. They scored 397 points, with an average of 19 points per game, to their opponent's 319 points, an average of 15 points per game.
