Basketball Arthur Hill — 28 Owosso — 18 Arthur Hill began its valley schedule by trimming Owosso 28-18. Up until this time our team had played excellent basketball, and a vic- tory was looked for, although Owosso had boasted of an equally good team. Owosso failed to make good her boast, showing very little basketball form throughout the evening. Our team played together like a well regulated machine, and, at this stage, showed signs of bidding for valley honors. Grube led our attack with five baskets while Scheib and Friske spoiled a large percentage of Owosso ' s trys at the basket. Mt. Pleasant — 13 Arthur Hill — 14 Arthur Hill won a closely contested game from Mt. Pleasant by a score of 14-13. The work of our team showed to better advantage than that of the visitors when it came to general playing ability, but they had to fight from start to finish to maintain the lead. Paul Hackett was missed very much in this game. Saginaw — 17 Arthur Hill — 18 Arthur Hill, by winning a one point victory from Saginaw High, took the lead in the valley race. The game was fiercely contested throughout, and was exceedingly exciting during the last few minutes of play. Saginaw looped the first basket of the game but Arthur Hill, aided by the pretty dribbling and fine basket shooting of Hackett and Friske, soon had the score 12-2 in our favor. Saginaw came back strong and brought their total to seven, where it remained until the close of the first half. At the beginning of the second half, Saginaw succeeded in securing a two-point lead, but baskets by Grube and Davis soon placed our team in the lead 16-14. Saginaw hooked a free throw while Grube, in way of retaliating, scored from the floor. This was followed by a field basket for Saginaw. During the last few minutes of play, both teams were held scoreless, and the game ended with our team leading 18-17. Bay City Eastern — 21 Arthur Hill — 23 In one of the most thrilling games ever played in Bay City, Arthur Hill won a victory from B. C. E. in the last few minutes of play when Joe Friske caged a basket from the center of the floor. Our gang got away to a fine start, and were leading 10-5 at the end of the first half. In the second half, Dystant, of Bay City, shot four baskets in rapid suc- cession which placed Eastern in the lead 13-10. From here, the lead see-sawed back and forth between the two teams until almost the close of the game, when the score was tied 21-21. At this time Friske made his sensational basket which gave our team a 23-21 point victory. Friske and Davis showed up to be real stars in this game while Dystant, of Bay City, never will be forgotten by our guards. Bad Axe — 14 Arthur Hill — 1 1 Arthur Hill received the first defeat of the season at the hands of Bad Axe. The game was one of the most bitterly fought of the season and the playing of both teams pleased the spectators very much, for it surely was real basketball. Arthur Hill was leading 5-4 at the end of the first half but towards the close of the game, Bad Axe overtook our boys and won 14-11.
