WHILE AWAY--WILL PLAY TO-
NIGHT AT THE A. C.

Coach Rueber and his band OF vie
torious basketball tossers returHea
home today with the bacons of two Of
the fastest teams in South Dakota
and two of North Dakota. The fact
that they were handicapped by the dis
comfort of travel and disadvantages of
strange floors proves that they are
much superior to any of the teams they
have played.
On Jan. % the aggies met the State
Science school aggregation and in
fast game defeated them 38 to II. The
feature of the game was the close
guarding of the aggies. In the first
half both teams guarded closely and
neither team seemed able to run up
the score, the half ended with the score
to in favor of the visitors. In the
second half the aggies came back
stronger and outclassed their oppon-
ents in every department of the game
From Wahpeton they journeyed to
Bookings where they met, on Jan.
rs, the South Dakota agricultural coll
lege and trimmed them to the tune
of % to II. This team has been play
ing consistent ball all season but
could do nothing against the aggie five
| from North Dakota. The A. G. guards
played a good game and succeeded in
holding the South Dakota forwards to
four field baskets. Every man on the
North Dakota team played excellent
ball and the team work was almost
| perfect.
The Fargo boys landed in Huron
Thursday and played the hardest game
of the season so far. Huron college
has defeated South Dakota university
and other teams that figure in the
championship of that state. The Huron
FIVE. however, could not solve Coach
Rueber's dazzling plays which the A.
C. boys pulled off to perfection. This
game was played under the intercolleg-
late rules and the aggies showed their
ability to play under these rules by
defeating this team 30 to %.
Last evening the team arrived in
Ellendale where they defeated that
team for the second time by a score
of rs to 18. The game was played
after a long journey from South Da-
kota which left the boys in poor con-
dition. However, they did remark
labiy we'll and returned home with g
E'clean record.
E Coach Rueber states that every mar
on the team was star in every game
and that their team work was per-
feet. He returned home with broad
smile on his face which seemed TIC
saw that Fargo college and the uni
versity viii have to play some bal
If they want to win the championship
of this state.
Tonight, at o'clock in the armory
THE aggies will meet the basketball
tossers from the Moorhead normal Ir
spite of the fact that the A. c. team
has had a hard trip they will take or
the normalites for return game. The
normal boys have been practicing fol
some time and expect to put up hare
game.
/ The team ran against a new propo.
sition when they played intercollegiate
rules in South Dakota, but the fac
that it met and defeated teams tina
are accustomed to these rules indicates
that intercollegiate rules would be
successful, as well as to bring tn,
standard of athletics to a par will
institutions of other states, If the.
were to be adopted in North Dakota
1t also proves that we have highe
class of athletes than those of SOM
institutions of a higher standard o
athletics. What is the rea son tina
athletics are not on standard will
that of neighboring states? Unit
North Dakota adopts the rules to gov
ern contests that are predominant ii
: other states they will continue to b.
below the standard of eastern institu
tions.
