Tn commenting on the game at Sturgis Friday night, the Sturgis Journal says; “Every man on the team fought as they had never fought before, and all played a brand of basketball superior to the caliber of their previous performances.” That makes us feel a little better. The manner in which the Journal throw bouquets at Brickley, the Sturgis center, reminded us of' a Horatio Alger book.
