Eureka, unde feated so far this season on their home floor, had little trouble in win ning the first game on the trip, but Libby and Troy were both defeated »- by the \Orvhana” Eureka Wins' 44-10 For. some unaccountable reason Columbia Falls failed to get started In their first game at Eureka and the home t^ m piled up a safe lead early In the contest. It was not until the last quarter that Columbia Falla showed any speed, and then they brought their score from 2 up to 10. Win From Libby The following night saw the hard est and fastest game in-which\ Col umbia Falls has, participated this season. The Libby team had been wns-ned by Its coach that If it lost this game, the team could not go to tho tournament, and the result was that his men were determined to win. It was a fast and rough contest from the first whistlerio the last. Colum bia Falls took the lead, but at the end of the first half only had a two- ' po^it lead, the score (being 6-4. In the last half .the score was tied sev eral times and just before the final whistle the referee called a foul on a Columbia Falls played, which gave Libby a free throw and n chance to ¿le the^score, but the basket waa not made Snd Columbia Falls (held her one point to the finish. Take Troy's Scalp On Saturday night the team played game was a rough one. s a n a o - s r \ the Columbia Falls team was in-bad condition as a result of bruises sus- - talned in the two previous contests Troy took the lead and made four points In the first quarter while Co lumbia Falls had only two points to fttelr credit. From that time on, how ever, the Heitors tore In and soon had a safe lead, which they main tained to the end.
