'l'he basketball schedule for 1940-41 season was one of the longest and toughest that Starbuck has had in its history. A total of 24 games were played, including the Alumni game, besides the tournament games. The team was well balanced along with having good height, There were five returning lettermen, namely: ficniy Nodland, Aldrid Opheim, Jimmy Erickson, Perry Berg and Norris Evjen. Henry Nodland and Al- L rid Opheim were chosen co-captains. The first game was played at Osakis, with Osakis on the long end of a 30-36 score. The unusually small gym slowed down the Starbuck boys considerably. After their first setback the Bucks came back to play a good brand of ball against Elbow Lake, leading by 10 paints up to the last few minutes of play. The final score, Starbuck 31, Elbow Lake 29. Breckenridge, 1940 State Champs, was the next to go down in defeat at the hands of the local basketeers. The game was played on even terms, but at the final gun the score was Starbuck 35, Breckenridge 33. After defeating Wheaton 35-23, the Bucks, on an off night fell victims to the Benson quint.

The locals then won eight straight games, defeating Hancock twice, Herman, Alberta twice, Wheaton, Mor- r.s, and Benson. The Morris game was one of the best games played on the local floor in recent years. The game was unusually well played, with Starbuck emerg- ing the victor by a score of 42-43. For the last 30 seconds of the game, the Bucks fairly made the ball siz2:1c with an excellent stalling game. The prepsters reached a peak at Benson defeating the Plowboys handily by a score of 47-28. Mr. Nygaard was taken ill during the game and was absent from practice for ten days. The team, lacking his guidance, went into a slump, from which they did not fully re- cover for the remainder of the season. The winning string was broken when Barrett invad- ed the local court, the score being 26-31 in favor of Barrett. After an easy win over Cyrus the strong Elbow Lake aggregation defeated Starbuck 33-48. We defeated Cyrus next by a score of 33-58.
