Tuesday. February 21, 1928FAT EMMAS TOO MUCH FOR COLLEGE QUINTETFat Emmas, noted professional basketball team of Minneapolis, took the measure of Lavik’s Flagstaff Teachers Wednesday night, 40 to 22.Lavik’s lads appeared scared and did not get going until about half of the first quarter had ended. The Fat Emmas, with careful passing and brilliant shooting, proved a real aggrega-lege stars.The Lumberjacks first five were in the game only during the first half and if the game could have ended in that period it probably could have stood on the boards as a real battle.

The score at the quarter was 13 to 9 with the Minneapolis quint leading.
