NO. 20 LEGION TEAN MILL. 2YNEN | LOSES TOTHIEF | EXPECTATTACK RIVERFALLSBY| UPON POLAND CLOSE MARGIN| IN THE SPRING Score Stands 26 to 21; Not Used to Playing on Non- ' Regulation Floor LOCALS WERE FOULED AND ALSO INSULTED Park Rapids Comes Thursday Night to Play Locals at Armory Defeated by a score of 26 to 21 the Ralph Gracie post basketball quin- tette returned this morning from Thief River Falls. Far from being outclassed in the playing, the local boys did thir best to come out of the .contest victorious but were decidedly handicapped by the small floor on which the game was played, as well as being held back by the lack of clean sportsmanship on the part of the Thief River Falls basketball fans. Several instances occurred when the opposing team should have been fouled, both on account of the root- ers and “hissers,” and also because of holding on the part of the Thief River quint. The first half started at a rapid rate of speed, Bemidji scoring 9 points in the first five minutes of play while the opponents failed to score. At the end of the half the score stood 19 to 10 in favor of Be- midji. Berrigan Withdraws. In the second half Berrigan as center was substituted by Phibbs, and Howe took Phibbs’ place as for- ward. The playing was somewhat handicapped by the loss of Berrigan. With the new combination Bemiddji scored only two points in the second half while Thief River made 16 points. Park Rapids plays here tomorrow -night and the contest with that team promises to be very interesting. The visiting team is reported to be excep- tionally strong this year. The pub- lic is urged to turn out to give the local legionaires its full support in the encounter tomorrow night. The game will be staged at the Armory and will begin at 8 o’clock sharp.
