BY the score of 81 to- 81 the
A. c. won a decisive victory
over the Wahpeton Science
school last evening.
The game was played in the
gymnasium before an audience
that taxed its capacity. The A.
c.. students were much in evi.
dence and with the aid of the
band. consisting of members of
the NJ. A. II. S. clubs, a. c.,
Fargo college and high school
students, under the direction of
Prof. Putnam, added much to
the enthusiasm of the evening.
AS a preliminary to the regu-
lar game the first contest of the
Church Athletic league was
played between the Methodist
club and the Young Mems Con-
gregational club. Owing to
the fact that the Wahpeton
team had to make a train the
halves were limited to ten min
utes.
At the end of the first half the
score stood 10 to 6 and at the
end Of the second II to 8 in fav-
or of the Methodists. The Con,
gregationalists were handicap
ped by having three of their re-
gular men out of the game on
account of sickness. The game
was fast at all times and de
monstrated what can be done

with the lesson taught by the sinking

guns found the old vessel an easy
mark and the shots were fired through
the steel sides from distance Of seven
and a half miles.
