Y. N. c. A. PLUCKED THE FEATHERS
FROM M|NT0 BASKET BALL TEAM

The Y. NJ. c. A. basketball team had
an easy time with the Mimic Athletics

the score Of 81 to is indicates. The
visitors displayed good team work at
stages throughout the game, but their
inclinations to hug the ball made them
easy "pickings" for the locals. Mimic
resorted to long shcts all through the
game. while the "Y" did the ante
over stunt.
In the first half, ending &c to 6, the
goals were made as follows: Oliver
made an easy shot on fumbled ball,
O'Keefe good shot, w. Hewitt for Min
to by fine shot, some distance out,
O'keefe on pass from Chittick, H.
Hewitt, beautiful shot from the middle,
Tom Woods On long pass from Chit
tick, Oliver made another on tumble,
and repeated the act moment later,
Okeefe made rather easy goal, fol-
diving with quick toss-over, that
brought the applause from the crowd.
Oliver made the next from rather
hard position, followed by Tom Woods
on fine underhand throw. Chittick
made the last goal of the half on d
spectacular back hand pass out from
the end.
In the second lap, O'Keefe started
the landslide on goal from long
and difficult pass from Oliver. Miller

THE BASKET BALL
SEASON WAS
SUCCESS
One Just Closed at University
the Best Ever-Worked
Under Difficulties.

The basketball season just closed
has been the most successful one
ever completed at the university in
every way says the Student. Despite
the many discouragements which have
confronted the coaches and players,
the two varsity teams went through
the season with but one defeat chalk
ed up against them. The girls did
well. Time and again games were
scheduled only to be called off at the
last minute. This uncertainty gave
them a long season of training with
but three or four games. The result
was that the players lost that snap
and spirit which wins close games,
their playing becoming listless and
sometimes slow. Nevertheless, they
did some stellar work, breaking the
high score record by piling up total
of seventy points against Fargo high
school in the very first game of the
season, and closing their account with
a signal victory over the star Valley
City normal team after losing to them
at Valley City by large score
Captain Baker at center was
tower of strength to the team. She
outplayed her opponent in every
game, and because of her height was
depended upon to do most of the
basket shooting. Clara Bull and
Maud Wyant at the two forward po-
sitiOns, though not doing as much in
making field baskets, were indis-
pensable in their excellent team work.
They worked hard at all times, and
were always willing to forego a little
nOtoriety for the sake OF building up
the varsitys score. At the guard
positions Dora Herman and Ethel
Robinson succeeded admirably IN
keeping down their opponents scores
besides Ginning in occasionally with
two points as the result of a field
goal. Dora Herman also did the free
throw stunt on fouls and added many
a tally for the team.
Playing under still moro adverse
conditions the boys succeeded in
making still more enviable record.
Unable to obtain the use of the ar
mory for practice, and not wishing to
give up the sport after two fairly
successful seasons play, each of the
ten boys who made up the first and
second varsity teams paid up $40
membership to the local Y NJ. C. A.,
and thus secured the use of the gym
nasiub for three hours out of the
week. And when. in addition, we
consider the irregular travels of the
street car which necessitated a two
mile walk for many of the boys, we
must commend them not only for
their excellent playing. but also for
their loyalty to tho institution.
A week after practice began the
team ran up against the strong

READY SALE FOR TARANTuLAs.
Californians Make Money at Some
what Hazardous Occupation.

A recent visitor to California stated
that tarantula hunting provides quite
a profitable occupation to numbers OF
men and boys there. During the
tarantula season." said the narrator,
the hunters go forth equipped with
tin cans and glass jars, with covers,
pals of water and steel or wooden
pincers.
When the great spiders are not
found running at large the hunters
look about for promising holes in the
ground, into which is poured d guam
tity of cold water. Now, tarantulas
have a great aversion to water, and
they rush out alarmed and furious,
only to be pounced upon with pincers
and dropped into the vessels designed
for them.
Next they are thrust into a bath
of gasoline or turpentine, which kills
them. They are then prepared for
pinning, and when mounted on cards
in small boxes are offered to tour
lists as curios at the price of dollar
or so each.
Although the insect is very
venomous, the tarantula catchers are
so expert and take such precautions
that not one of them is known to
have been bitten"

World Development.

The hypothesis of world develop
ment from spiral nebulae, which was
SO widely discussed about 20 years
ago, but which of late years has been
seriously questioned, has been
strengthened somewhat recently by
the explanation that worlds are
formed not by the condensation of
rings gradually solicited from tenu-
Gus nebulae, but rather by great
masses thrown off or detached from
the parent mass of nebula by the
centrifugal force of the rotation.
Photographs of nebulae disclose such
masses in process of detachment, and
most astronomers are now inclined to
the belief that this is the way in
which all planetary bodies have been
formed The heavens show thousands
of spiral nebulae which are evidently
In a state of rotation in central nuclei,
and which indicate that they will
probably be consolidated into suns
and solar systems similar to our own.

With the Jowrans of India marriage
is an affair Of much importance.
Should the parents object to the Low.

abduct the girl. If the consent of the
parents is obtained, three posts are
planted, and between them the bride
and bridegroom, with their intimate
friends, assemble, and proceed to get
intoxicated on peculiar teddy. The
young couple sit together. and receive
frequent douches of turmeric oil. from
gourds in the hands of wedding guests.
Presents of all kinds, to propitiate the
demons, are showered upon the con
tracing parties, and the close of the
feast finds the whole set in a state OF

ties are man and wife.
