HIGH SCHOOL TEAM PLACED 6TH
IN THE DISTRICT TOORHAMEHT
1
Belt bj|h bnk«fbtl) team returned
"with honor 'from the tourne ment, hmv
mg won two games out of four and
lost a tät with the district champions,
Harlem, by ody tone point. With this
game they ladt a chance of a trip to
Bowman as a representative of the
•district
After their defeat by Harlem, they
lost their last game to Shelby. The
in the tourney were:
final si
Bar
Havre Second.
Shelby—third.
Conrad—fourth.
Choteau—fifth.
Belt—sixth.
Great FaBs—seventh. •
Augusta—eighth.
Cascade, Centerville. Simms, Valier,
Cutbank, Chinook, Chester and Geyser
did not place.
The first game of the home team
was an easy one with Valier, whom
they trimmed 39 to 8. In this gam«
the boys displayed such exceptional
passing ability as to receive special
mention from the sports writers.
Belt defeated Conrad in the second
game. This game was hard-fought
and was especially noticeable by the
number of easy shots missed by the
locals. The final score was 14 to 10
and the official score credits Boboth
with aU 14 points.
The Fame with Harlem was the
f
came near upsetting the dons h » de
feating the veteran Harlem quint.
Belt lost by one point in the last min
ute of play. The Harlem team of
three Bckifcren brothers, La Rock and
Wilson are the veteran team of the
district and each year have been tout
/
hair-raiser of the tournament end
ed to take the honors, but each __
have failed. Their win of district
honors is the consummation of their/
hopes in the final year of their ap
pea ranee.
Belt's last game, against Shelby, ;
found them tired from their battle
with Harlem and without the incen
tive of tournament honora. ' They lost
17 to 11, having given their opponents
18 free throws to the game, seven of
wbieh were converted.
For Belt it appears that the boys
played over their heads, at least they
accomplished more than waa expected
of them. The addition of Leland to
the lineup strengthened the team in
passing and shooting. -His lack of
sise made him a hard man to guard
and his presence made a vast improve
ment in the teamwork of the bunch.
" Boboth made a fine appearance to
a high school uniform and was the
backbone of the team. He led
offensive and made the greatest num
ber of points. , . _ . , ~
Nohl at center, while not phenome
nai, played a consistent game and
formed the connecting link between
the offense and defense.
Sanderson had Just been changed to
gnard when Leland was made forward

his assistance to team work as well a»'

Snook is another boy who has play
«d his last game for Belt high and
although his weight is little above 120
petuids. he furnished the anchor for
foe Bek defense. His speed allowed
him to get tote the offensive
psrtwaity offered and get back
his position before anything hut a hmg

»-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Glen Sweat, suffered injuries from
which she died at 8 o'clock Saturday

children a few minutes before. Ac
cording to the dead girl's companions
they discovered the weapon hidden In
the dirt under a cast-off portion of the
equipment of the Belt creamery which
stands nearby. No ens sensed the
danger nor thought to look to see if K

the children, one of the party pointed
the gun at the little Sweat girl and

In a recent issue of an eastern
church paper I noticed the report ot
a 18-day evangelistic campaign which
was held to a church with which I am
familiar. The results were given as
follows; "Ninety-two conversion, 78
received into preparatory member
ship, several renewals and a greatly
strengthened church." '
Think what a wonderful thing it
would mean if we In our campaign
could realise the following goal, which
is not impossible or unreasonable: "68
conversion, 80 baptisms and 40 accès
