ae HAZEN BEATS . WERNER 12-6 Hazen and Werner basket ball teams met Friday evening and played the closest game on the north branch this year. The final score was 12 to 8 in favor of Hazen. Werner started the game with a lone basket from the center. This was followed by a free shot and field basket by A. Smith of the Hazen team. The score stood close all through the game. As forward, A. Smith or Hazen played a star game securing 10 of the 12 points made by Hazen. He was aided by E. Stoelting, the other forward, whose passing was; good. Hubert Stoelting did stellar, work at guard. The Werner forwards were held to no points. Foss at cente played the center position weit j and also secured one basket. The game was played on a floor that was as slippery as ice, which made the game slow and rougi. Hutchinson at guard was Werner's best man.

The 1920 spring opened up rather late and field work made little prog- ress until the closing week of April due to cold backward weather.
