Seminary Defeats Grove City Last Friday the Willmar Semin ary Basket Ball Team journeyed down to Grove City to play their first out-of-town game of the sea son. The team went down with the firm intention of winning, no mat ter what the odds might be. This spirit never fails to bring results, and in this case the result was that the Seminary scratched out a vic tory by a very narrow margin, de feating their opponents by the score of 22 to 19. The game was played on a very small floor which almost prevented all team work. From beginning to end the was veryvery endgame rough, as tne ame \^H^_|^^^MgHmgigBi^BH^BM^ n^V^R^a^Ba^alBHaalaBa^H|^j^^|^|^^|Qj^^^a^^|^p||BBBBH| was rough, as the referee called very few fouls. Foot ball tactics were greatly in evidence. The first half ended with the Seminary three points in the lead, the score standing 13 to 10. In the second half the Grove City team started a rally, which for a time looked disastrous for the Semin ary's hopes of victory. At one time the local players scored four field goals in quick succession, giv ing them a lead of three points. Instead of disheartening the Semin ary Team, this only served to in fuse them with new vigor, and at the time keeper's whistle the score standing 22 to 19 in favor of the visiting team. From foul free throws the Sem inary scored four out of a possible six, and Grove City two out of five. The Willmarites report a good time, and very nice treatment at the hands of the Grove City people. Willmar Semi F. Downs C. Pederson Bill Johnson Buck Johnson Larsen nani. R. L.
