High School Boys Win From 1tasca
Basket Ball Tossers By a % to
IL Score.
OPPOSING CENTRES ~ STAB
Game Was Fast At All Times With
the Blue and White Always in
the Lead.

In the second basketball game of
the season for the championship of
northern Minnesota, the Bemidji
high school boys defeated the quint
from Deer River by a score of % to
II.
The score does not tell in itself
how close the contest really was, not
once during the entire game were
the Bemidji boys in position of
sure victory, the Deer River team
being in the game right from the
first blow of the whistle until time
was called for the end of the game.
A curtain raiser was played be-
fore the big game of the evening be-
tween the teams of the Freshman
and sophomore classes, the contest
resulting in an easy victory for the
Sophomer class rabbit Bailey
was the star Of the game scoring
nearly all of the points for the win
ming quint.
The Bemidji-Deer River contest
started right after the curtain
raiser was over. Deer River won
the toss and choose to defend the
west goal.
Deer River began the game with
a rush scoring basket before the Be-
midi five had hardly realized that
the game had begun but the basket
only put the blueand white boys on
their mettle and they had scored
three baskets before the Deer River
team again scored, this being on a
foul
Brice and Captain Larson, the op-
posing centres, were in the game
and after the ball at all times, these
two men playing much stronger
game than their team mates, and
being the the stars of the contest.
Larson scored eight times during the
game for total of Is points, while
Brice scored all but two of the Deer
River II points.
The first half of the game result
ed in a score of II to Z.
Coach Robinson of the Bemidji
five was very much pleased over the
outcome of the game, but says that
the boys were not pushed at any
time and that they did not play the
game they we're capableof putting
up. Coach Robinson began the
basketball season with anything but
an encouraging outlook but he put
the boys to hard practice and the de-
feat they received at Fosston last
week only made them work harder
and they entered the Deer River
contest determined to win.
The lineup of the Saturday even
ing game was as follows:
Deer River-Brice, centre; Nc
Cullan and Martin, forwards; Gut
ry and Mcdonald, guards.
Bemidji-Larson (captain), CEN
tire; Elletson and Moritz, forwards;
Mcdonald and Spencer, guards.
Baskets thrown: Brice 2; Mar
tin 1; Larson Z; Elletson 2; Spen-
Ger 1. Goals from fouls: Brice 6;
Larson /; Elletson 2. Referee,
Lindsey. Umpire, Stanton. Scor-
ers, Bailey and Johnson.

ley next Friday.

Within One and Six-tenths Miles
From the Pole, Near Enough to e.

Society.
Washington, Jan. 23.-That Captain
Robert E. Peary came within 1.6
miles of the North pole-near enough
to establish his claim of having been
at the exact spots the decision Of
the house committee on naval affairs,
which has been considering the bill to
retire Captain Peary with the rank Of
rear admiral.
The basis of the committees finding
is the chart prepared by Hugh c..
Mitchell and c. R. Duvall of the
United States coast and geodetic sur
vey and based on Peary's observa-
tons. This chart shows that Peary
went to the left on nearing the pole,
due to an error in his instruments.
Later he crossed toward the pole, his
nearest point being 1.6 miles.
Representative Bates of Tennessee
presented the majority report of the
committee, recommending that Peary
be retired with the rank of rear ad-
miral
A minority report submitted by Rep
resentative Roberts of Massachusetts
does not question Captain Peary's per-
Torrance, but arraigns the National
Geographic society's committee, which,
he claims, announced it's findings after
only a cursory examination of Peary's
proofs.

Tuesday probably in the senate, and
it will provide that upon request Of
25 per cent of the voters of any
county the question whether there is
