quintet known as the Fargo Athlet-
les, and from that time until the
close OF the season they played a
winning game against all Corners.
Several times the team was broken
up by sickness, but the men who filled
the gaps proved themselves in no
wise inferior to the regulars. The
irregular practices. however. kept
them from doing their best at all
times, as they did in the Fargo COL
lege game when they rolled up nine
ty-four points for the varsity to the
collegiaas nine, and they again showed
the "mettle CT their pasture" in the
Manitoba and Valley City normal
games, both OF which were won after
victory seemed to be on the side of
the visitors.
At center Mason took Sorenson'S
place during most of the games and
took care OF the position in salts
factory manner. He seemed to be
somewhat weak at basket shooting,
but was the whole show" on every
toss-up. Captain Netcher and Doc"
O'keefe made a couple of forwards
that We're hard to beat. Doc" did
most of the shooting, while Netcher
was always on hand to take the ball
from center. Netcher also took the
feathers off many a foul and tossed
it into the sack with the iron rim.
Farnham and Nelson, last years
guards. again proved their value TO
the team by their excellent work.
Farnham. especially. developed into
one of the best men on the team. al
ways holding the opposing forward
safe and making quite few baskets
himself. Oliver and Sorenson substi-
tuted at center and guard. where
each proved himself the peer of any
of their teammates although they had
but one or two chances to show them
selves.
Not only was the season success
full one for intercollegiate basketball,
but the interdepartment games again
proved extremely interesting. For
the second time the Laws came out
at the head of the list. defeating ali
the other teams by decisive scores.
Medic" Munro, forward for the
Commercials, proved about the best
all-around player in the interdepart-
ment games. and another year should
make him valuable addition to the
varsity squad. Bates, at guard for
the Laws, also showed up strong. 1t
was seldom, indeed, that long pass
got to his opposing forward. The
Arts had about the best balanced
team in the bunch. but were contin-
ually forced to change men which
prevented them from working at
their best. The Props had the speedy
team who worked we'll in getting the
short passes around their opponents.
but failed to shoot" consistently
enough to win. The Engineers were
decidedly out of it, but with three men
on the Junior annual board little else
could be expected.
This year the girls also got busy,
the Arts, Props and Normals having
teams in line for the championship.
The Arts won out by defeating both
the other teams, and the Props came
in second best by trouncing the school
marms.
These interdepartment contests
were inaugurated last year by Coach
Sweetland. and in spite of the many
inconvenience have proven entirely
satisfactory. Another year or two
will probably make them no less ex-
citing than the intercollegiate con-
tests; some >of them have even now
became so, as for instance the Arts
Engineers baseball game last Spring
