The game will no iovbl be SNrei more Interesting than the La Salle Ottawa affair of last Frldaj evenini Both leame claim tl.at the) can beai the other and right than is when the biit argument comes in Whet they first met. P. V. L. C, W the game by a single point margin the score being 11 to VI, but right no v it lookn aa though the Luther col lege lads are in for some tough lied ding when they again tackle the high school team. The hate and rivalism which not reigns nupremo between the tw clubs first blossomed forth Dan) weeks ago when the high icbool "Irl ilh," a team made up of sotii" am a tear player of O. II. S., and Brynstad'a first team battled at the armory, l V. L. 0. won by a big margin, of course, but that victory train 'I rot'; ing t' brag about became the hipr school players weren't even con ten dan for the varsity team fior were they In basketball training. Bui Di ertheless the losing club leetned to have taken it to heart and thej placed a black mark on the south side lads. Then about three weeks ago came the initial clash between the two varsity teams. The game was play ed at the Luther gymnasium before a fairly large sized audieoca and it was a humdinger too. Both teami were determined to win. of course, only one could and I'. V. L. C. was the winner. Smith s club hel t a lead throughout the first three ajMrttn of the game. When the third Quarter ended the score stood IS to 5 In fa Tor of the O. II. S. Hut the last pe riod of the game proved disastrous to them. Old man jynx or that con fldent feeling that they couldn't lose got hold of them and they didn't score a point In the last quarter while P. L. V. O. scored six. But the thing that caused the big gent argument and the moat hatred for each other and rivalism waa when the game -was about to end. With only thirty seconds to play Co&ch Smith had the timekeeper blow time out so that he could send in three substitutes. When the whi tie was blown the P. V. L .0. players thought the game was over and throe of them left the floor. Captain Mecken atoek inmediately declared that Hi r. utad's men had fouled and that Ms team was entitled to a free throw. However, Referee Giehler couldn't see it that way and refused to call I the foul. Should he have called the foul O. H. S. might have tied the BCore with the free throw and th game would have gone an extra five minutes. Smith and hi.-i men claimed that tbey got a raw deal while Brynstad alleged that it was one cf Smith's old tricks. However, the feeling is at Its high est pitch and it looks as though the two teams will offer a real struggle when they play again. During the week both coaches will drill their men to perfection. ttOl j only for the game Saturday but also for their contests on Friday even j ing. Smith's men will go to Btreator to encounter Coach Dale's Hardacrab Mo outfit at the Btreator gym white the Luther lads will trek up to Xa- perville to play the Northwestern academy five. Both mentors stated that they would use the same lineups for the game Saturday as they have been using. STARS GATHER AT PLATTSBURG FOR BIG ICE TOURNEY Mattrbnrg, N. Y.. Jan. S3.
