much more efficient team work.
The two teams lined up as follows:
Bemidji High-Dwyer, Lycan and

ter; Kruse and Hondrum, guards.
Fosston High-I. Jesnessand Ruud
forwards; Amber, center; O. Jesness
and Lohn, guards.
One of the features of this game
was basket thrown by Amber, the
center for Fosston. Standing in the
center of the rink, he threw the ball
squarely into the basket. He was
cheered to the echo for the feat.
The Fosston team is undoubtedly
the best high school basketball team
il the north half of the state. They
have been coached by Prof. Yeager,
superintended of the Fosston schools,
and play great team work.

able, in that last year the Warner
team claimed the championship o.
northern Minnesota, but did not
meet the local team.
The game last night was a fas1
and clean contest, in which there
was not one instant of 'loafing,'
and baskets followed in rotation at {
rapid rate.
1t had been expected that Glenr
Taylor, of the law department O.

would referee the game, but it wa:
impossible for s, that gentleman tc

Markham played a whirlwind
game for Bemidji. He was very
successful in putting the ball in the
basket and threw several baskets
from very difficult positions. He
scored twenty-five of the total thirty
two points made by Bemidji'
Every other player of the five
played fine ball, the team work being
much better than in former games,
the players covering their opponents
nicely and breaking up the combina-
tons formed by the visitors.
For the visiting team Sather was
by far the best player. He ran his
team nicely, but the local players
were too strong in breaking up the
plays.
There was an absence of the
rough work which characterized the
game played against the Duluth Y.
M. G. A. team on Friday night of
last week, when the visiting players
from the head of the lakes played
more football than they did basket
ball.
Bemidji was penalized several
times for fouls, the visiting team
being more fortunate in this par
ticular.
The game last evening demon
strated that the big Bemidg" team
is much stronger than the Marshall
county champions, and are faster in
every particular, although the War
renites are very good players.
