The expectations of the Bemidji
high school girls and boys basket
ball teams to attain the chamion-
ship of northern Minnesota were
given very severe jolt" last even
ing at Fosston, when the Fosston
high school male and female teams
defeated the Bemidji teams in two
we'll contested games.
The Bemidji teams have been do
ing some very good work and it was
supposed by most Of their supporters
that they would win both games at
Fosston.
However, the Fosston players
showed much ability, team work be-
ing their strong point. Both the
games were strongly contested from
the very start to the finish. The
Fosston lineup was of the very
best local material and Remidji had
the best in the local schools.
The hall in which the game was
played, was very small affair, the
actual playing space, after the crowd
had got in, being not over thirty feet
in length. This greatly handi-
capped the Bemidji players as they
have been used to large hall with
plenty of room in which to play.
The two contests showed that the
Fosston team had been practicing
very diligently and that they were
very proficient in their play. They
displayed great team work and
were cool and collected in the
most exciting parts of the game.
The passing of the ball was espec-
tally good, and in fact they out
classed the Bemidji players.

Bemidji Boys-Olaf Hondrum,
center; Rollie Dwyer and Ralph
Lycan, forwards; Helmer Kruse
and Charley Gold, guards; Clarence
