Arrangements have been made be-
tween the university and the Y. M.
g. a. track teams for, two mid-winter
meets. The first to be held at the local
SY. NJ. G. A. building some time this

atfew weeks later, some time in Feb

as A good deal of interest is already
being manifested over the proposed
meetings and keen competition is
aroused. Both teams will have. a good
following and a large attendance will
result Later on In the year the uni
versity will hold a big athletic car
nival between teams representing all
OF Its departments. These meets will
keep the North Dakota team in good
condition for the spring meet which
will occur some time in May at Grand
Forks with the South Dakota team.
With the completion of the new
running track already we'll along Id its
construction, track athletics will have
q far better chance to train than ever
before. The university will not spec
ialize on any one line OF athletics but
advance all alike. Edgar Wells, the
we'll known Grand Forks boy has been
selected to- captain the university
team. Wells Is hard, untiring work
er and one Of the; best all-around ath-
aletes at the U. FL ,,ss
Basket BALL mt the University. r
with the opening of the present
term great interest Is conferred in
basket ball. The coming week will
see many candidates at work for both
teams. Little is known as yet Of the
strength of the boys and girls teams
I that will represent the university this
year Last year the university put
out the first regular boys team of
the institution. Their record was a
good one considering the fact that all
the players were new at the game.
All the members of the 1904-O5 boys
team are in the university again this
year and in addition to these players
many new students have enrolled who
have had some experience in the
game.
OF the old men Johnson, d. Bots,
Q. Bots, Netcher, Taylor, McGauyran
and SBrannon are the most prominent.
However, it is believed that some of
these players will not be able to hold
these places against some of the new
men. The competitor for positions
vii be an interesting one and this
augurs we'll for the success of the
team. While no games have as vet
been definitely arranged, it is expected
that teams from the agricultural coll,
lege, Valley City Normal, Warren,
MINI, Mayville Normal, Valley City
high school, Grafton, Devils Lake and
the local Y. m. G. A. will be met. 4
Correspondence is being carried on
with the University of Minnesota and
It would not be surprising If games
are played both here and at Mime
apolis. ~. 81 N
The first boys game is booked for.
next Wednesday night at the luniver-
sity with the Y. M. G. A. team.
The girls team which last year won;
all of the ten games played and the
undisputed right to the state cham
pionship will start the season with
very much of a new team. Miss Helen
Sullivan, the captain, and Louise
Baker are the only regulars of last
years team playing again this season.
This leaves the position of forwards
and that of one guard to fill. How
ever, thus far the girls have made a
line showing and won all games play
ed through the fall. Miss Herman is
showing up we'll at guard and pro-
misses to be the strongest player ever
representing the university in this 20
sitton. Maude Wyant is holding down
q guard position very acceptably and
bids fair to make regular place. K ~
Miss LELAND, an experienced player
and Miss Robinson are developing
rapidly. It now looks as If the line
up for the present would be: Miss
Sullivan and LELAND or Robinson for
wards. Miss Baker center, Miss Wyant
and Herman guards: The girls are
working hard and every effort will ha
