DUNBAR LOST, BUT
IS STILL IN SPIEL

Winnipeg, Man., Feb. 13.-The coveted jewelry
class has now been reached in three Of the
bonspiel competitions and the finals are in sight
in practically all the events. In the Dingwall,
Stirton of Prince Albert and Hicks Of Napinka
in the tours. With his grasp almost on the
desired person, Dunbar was beaten out last
night when he met Hicks, the Napinka stalwarts
advancing over the st. Paul cracks into the
semifnals. The Dawson boys went under twice
yesterday. They were put out of the Tetley by
Steele Of Boissevan and succumbed in the Dodge
to. Jones of Roland. Including the four games
they played yesterday Strickland's rink has
played twenty nine games in the last two weeks,
winning 25. -. As4s 49,. - s$& 2g2G I'll.
This, in itself, is a fine record. The Klondik-
ers still in the Empire and in the Caledonian,
and to advance further they have two hard nuts
to crack in Youhill and Dunbar respectively.
The feature of the bonspiel to date Is unques-
tionably the great work of the Braden rink.
They have now won fourteen straight games,
most of them in easy fashion. In the II o'clock
draw today, what should prove one Of the best
games Of the bonspiel takes place when Braden
and Dunbar meet in the Empire. If, Braden wins
the game he will have the grand aggregate vir,
tEally cinched, and even If defeated he will
have the best chance Of carrying off the bon.
spiel championship, he is now in the eighth
of the Dingwall and Empire, and the thirty.
twos of the Teley. Flavelle was put out Of the
Dingwa1 yesterday by Dunbar, but is still III
the Empire, and Tetley and Bob are also in these
two events. Curling in its highest form Of ex.
cellence was exhibited by the Rochon- Rennie
Kinks yesterday, when they met in the Ding
WALL the result being 1-point victory for the
GRANTEES crack skip.

sum- one meeting in the morning and the other
two In the afternoon. Handbal will be the
chief method of exercise, altho some attention

yesterday more than 100 men will be candidates
for the ball team when the first outdoor prac-
t1ce Is held. Few Of the old men put in an
appearance yesterday, and it is expected that
before the week is over the indoor squad will

FARGO TEAM NEXT
FOR THE G0PHERS

On Friday evening the fast basketball team
Of the Fargo Athletic club will meet the, uni
team holds the championship of North Dakota,
and as the game will be the last important
contest before the university team starts on its
eastern trip, university students are planning to
attend the game and give the team farewell
ovation.
In addition to the play on the armory floor
arrangements have been made with the univer-
sity band and the mandolin and glee clubs, and
these organizations will entertain the spectators
in the interval between halvea; and after the
game. Rossiter's orchestra will also be present
and there will be a program of dances.
If the Minnesota team wins the Friday even
ing contest it will start on its trip with clean
slate. The team has been defeated in prac-
tice game by the faculty, but the undergradu-
ates retrieved themselves in second contest
with the pedagogues and credited with a de-
cisive victory over the fast Illinois team and
with the scalp Of the Fargo team at its belt,
the varsity quintet should be able to creditably
uphold the maroon and gold in the race for
the western championship. H.. ID
