VOLUME 11. NO. 271. ATHLETICS LOSE SENSATIONALGAME Fond du Lac World’s Champions Again Down Bemidji Boys In Fast and Brilliantly Played Contest BESTUL AND JACOBSON STAR Sheppard and Fogarty Outplayed’by Local Guards—Champions Held to Lowest Boore of Season, 24 to 29 In the most sensational and best played game of basketball ever stag- ed in this city, the Fond du Lac world’s champlons last night defeat- «d the Bemidjl Athletics by a 24 to 29 score. The contest was the second of 4 three game series, the Thursday riight atfair having gone to the cham- pions by a score of 25 to 82. Never has a Bemidji team fought with sueh vim and determination as did the plucky youths who represent- ed the Athletic club last evening. During the first half the champions sained a lead of ten points over Be- midjf, but at the start of the second period new life seemed to have been instilled into the playing of the locals and they were able to outplay their much more experienced opponents. Fogarty In Background Fogarty, the much heralded for- ward of the visitors, was completely outplayed by Jacobson, the former Carlton college star. Not once dur- in the entire contest was the Fond du Lac captain able to free himself, so clogely was he guarded, Fogarty connected for three baskets during the first half but was held scorless during the remainder of'the contest. Sheppard, at the other forward posi- tion for the champions, was unable to connect, and Bestul. who was the shining light of the previous night’s play, again appeared in the star role, ‘T'he brilliant Bemidji guard not only kept Sheppard well covered but was himself able to three times place the Dall for scores. Neuman Plays Btr\ong Hawkins and Neuman had a bat- tle royal at the centre position. Although greatly outreached Neuman played his “moosecat’” opponent to a standstill. Peck In Limelight Although playing a position en- tirely new to him, Peck more than made good at forward. His floor work was fast and he repeatedly was able to break up the teamplay of the champlons. Except for one instance when Peck and Longdon went to the the game was one of the cleanest of the season. Longdon is claimed to possess quite a record as a pugllist. Sensational Baskets Brandon brough the record break- ing crowd to its feet during the sec- ond half when twice he threw baskets from near the centre of the long hall. The little Bemidji captain played a heady game dyring the entire contest, and hbesides throwing elght fouls, three times netted the ball, Young, at guard for Fon du Lac, again show- ed himself to be a classy basketball player. Heg covered up well and his foul throwing and basket shooting nwere features. Sheppard played a strong game, his floor work being fast and sure. He is one of the champs most reliable men, and the fact that he is suffering from a badly ‘injuved hand kept him from playing at top-notch speed last evening. A Great Team The boys who comprise the Bemid-~ Ji team have demonstrated that they are to be classed among the country’s greatest basketball teams, and while they have been unable to win from the Fon du Lac’s, the champions have been forced to the limit in landing the games played here. Bemidji may well feel proud of its team. Lowest Score Another redeeming feature in the defeat of the Athletics is the fact that they have held the champions to the lowest scores of the season, losing by only seven points in the first game and five in the second. Bemidji still has a chance to land one game of the series and will en- Jor the game this evening determined to ;’cm'e 2 vietory. Tho 5!
