The enemy shoved a defense that
rather surprised the Sons of Marcus
but was also unable to score con
sistently in the first half. Against)
a different fire in the second frame
the La Orande boys put on a drive j
that made things look threatening.
With about six minutes to go, Apple

replaoe Feltivouse and Jones, re
spectively, and Mantel! and Apple
gate picked up 10 points in Jig time
between them.
The Normal school did not attempt
much in the way of an offense in the

most of their time trying to bold
down the Whitman scoring. In the
last half they opened up more, how
ever, at one time scoring 13 points to
