MOORHEAD WAS
SHOWED Under

Playing spectacular basketball in
spots, the university quint opened the
season on Monday night by waIloping
the Moorhead normal Ave to the tune
OF 56 to Ia. Despite the fact that the
varsity five had had no real expert
ence i'm games before this year, all of
the six men who got into the game
played good games, although the hard
work told on them.
Sagen was the star performer when
IT came to piling up the score, secur-
Ing ten field goals and making four
free throws out Of seven tries. Heimes,
playing center, was unfortunate and
wrenched his ankle after the first five
minutes OF play, this slowed him down
to some extent. but showing nerve and
grit, stuck out the game to the finish
Heimes played a great game until the
accident and will prove one of the
strongest men that has ever battled
for the state institution.
Wilcox and Robinson, played great
games at guard and with more prac-
tice both will develop into men that
it will be exceedinly hard to get away
from. Both are rather clever at shoot
ing baskets and both did their share
of the scoring.
Blewitt played forward in the first
half, but was evidently not in condi-
ton as he did not put up the stellar
game of last year. Sad, who replaced
him in the last half, played a classy
game and besides the game put on
number of acrobatic stunts that pleas
ed the fans.
To Irou al III IA tm~t-.
the University OF North Dakota would
have as fast and as clever as quint as
the institution ever afforded. While
the game with the Moorllead normal
cannot be considered fair criterion
by which to Judge the team and while
the normalites did not give the varsity
as stiff a game as was expected, they
worked hard enough to keep the flick
ertails moving. Johnson, forward, and
Burkee, center, played the game for
the Moorhead quint. The other men
worked hard but the bare truth is
they were outclassed.
Work will be started at once in
preparation for the game with the
University OF Manitoba and by that
time it is believed that the varsity five
will have developed into a machine
that will need only occasional roofing
lubrications.

st. Joseph, Dec. 23.-Real liberty

is what William T. Hammond, whose
real name is Nathan Hurst has Just
accepted. And Hammond" is at last
to resume his true name.
Nathan Hurst Is prosperous stock
and bond dealer and owns a big
boarding house here. He Is married
and has six children. For more than
20 years he has lived here, respected
by his neighbors and business asso-
ciates. But 20 years ago in Texas
Hurst was convicted Of horse theft
He was sentenced to serve II years
In the Texas penitentiary. He es-
capped after three months. Gov. Col.
quit OF Texas has Just committed
the sentence after having made full
investigation Of Hurst's reform.
Hammond" was found guilty at
Fort Worth, Tex, on two counts Of
horse stealing. He was given IL
years in one case and five In the
other He began to serve his SEN
tence at the penitentiary In Hunts
vile, when, one day, while manning
q scraper on a railroad dump, he
caught the guard temporarily OF
duty. Jerking the harness of one OF
the mules he was driving, Hurst rode
to the woods. His escape was sue
cessful.
According to W. L. Hurst, the es-
capped mans father, who was in
Austin, Tex, his son came immedi-
ately to st. Joseph. Here he assumed
the name, Of Hammond and worked
at a packing house. About eight
years ago he ran for sheriff Of Buch-
anan county. He came within ten
votes Of being elected. He has served
several years as constable and deputy
sheriff in st. Joseph.
W. l. Hurst, the father, says that
he will bring the pardon to his son
on New Years day and that the fam
fly will start the year 1912 under Its
true name. The wife and children
will be told the secret at New Years
dinner.
