Basketball- Continued yet, it will be impossible to tell who will be on top of the league at the end of the sea- son, but one may rest assured that the Aggies will do their best to come out victorious. Of the players on the squad, not much can be said of any one man. The team was made what it was by the co-operation and splendid spirit shown by every member of the squad and its coach. Friese and Krusemark were the only lettermen from last year's squad to return. Each playing one of the guard positions, the opposing teams found it hard to get close in shots. These two men could always be depended upon to get the ball and start the offense functioning. Not only in defense were they adept, but either one could be counted on to help the team with a few baskets when they were needed. Playing their last year for the Aggies School, these two players have done their best to give the school a good basketball team. The center position was very capably taken care of by Kenny Roeder with Joel Clementson as substitute. Playing his first year with the Aggies, Roeder has fitted in very well with the team. A scrappy player and a good shot made him a wel- come addition to the squad. Clementson could also be counted on to do his best. Few opponents could out-jump him and for drive and spirit he was unbeatable. This is also his last year of playing for the school. E X W E4 PM '. .i ai Wi Z 6 2 H A yi if '7 E Al if Y.

In the return game on the Aggies' Q A, floor on January 31, the Aggies were not quite up to form. This and some good basket- ball on Luther's part enabled Luther to win by a score of 38 to 23. Roeder with ten X points led the scoring. ' X On February 7, the annual Field Meet and Homecoming is held at the School of Wg. Agriculture. One of the features of the meet is the basketball game at night. This Y, year the Aggies played Bethel Academy. It was another game of exciting thrills and X tense moments. The determination of the Aggies to win could not be checked and the i final score was 35 to 24 in favor of the Aggies. Krusemark with ten points and Haven 5 with nine, led the scoring. A The following week the Aggies played the return game with Concordia College on , their home floor, but could not check the onslaught unloosed by the Concordia players, 16 and were defeated by a score of 24 to 41. Roeder and Krusemark led the scoring with N A eight and seven points respectively. Still unable to function smoothly the Aggies A were defeated by Dunwoody on their floor by a score of 19 to 29. In this game, Fresk, a new man on the first team, led the scoring with eight points. The Aggies played a good offensive game, but a few weak moments on defense lost them the game. 1 X This year a league has been organized with the Morris, Crookston, and Grand V Rapids Schools of Agriculture.

Basketball- Continued The forward positions were taken care of by Haven, Tjosvold, and Fresk. They are all new men on the team, and all did their best for their school and coach. A fast passing combination, clever floor Work, and some accurate shooting made these three men hard to stop. Opposing guards generally had their hands full in trying to stop these men. W Of the substitutes, Lexvold and Nielson for forwards and Landro for guard were .W always ready and willing to do their stuff for the team. l ' The second team was composed of the players who did not make the first squad. K The second team played a complete schedule of games similar to the first team. Their first game was with Concordia Academy and was close fought throughout, KJ but the Aggies couldn't stop them and lost by a score of 10 to 18. In the next game all with the Dunwoody seconds, the Aggies suffered another setback by a 9 to 14 score. The :Jil Phalen Luther game was very interesting and the outcome doubtful until the final whistle, the play was fast and furious and finally ended 9 to 8 in favor of the Aggies. Stl. Another good game was the return game with Concordia Academy. The Aggies however, were not quite equal to the task and lost 13 to 17. It was a good game, with Fresk the outstanding man for the second team. At Dunwoody the second team lost again, but not until they had put up a real fight. The score was 13 to 17. ll' ' Wx, s , i Page One Hundred Sixlven
