HOCKEY IS The
TOPIC AT H. S.
PLANS ARE ON FOOT TO ORGAN.
IzE A LOCAL TEAM AND CLASS
TEAMs-ENTHUsIAsM AT FEW
Err POINT OVER THE WINTER
GAME.

Hockey, the great winter game, is
rapidly coming to the front at the
high school and already has many en-
thusiastic followers. There are plans
on foot to organize class teams and,
If these are successful, regular first
team will result. Coach Robinson, a
former hockey player, is in favor of
the plan and has expressed willing
ness to instruct the teams.
Although entirely lacking in ex-
perienced players the high school has
some fairly good skaters and, with a
little coaching, could turn out a fast
light team. There appears to be suf-
ficient material for a team in every
class. A meeting OF all interested in
the new sport will be called during the
first part of next week and plans and
prospects will be discussed.
There are plenty of hockey stars in
Fargo to form at least two independent
teams and if rink can be provided
some good games will undoubtedly re-
suit.
The basketball team is having a
short workout every day and is slow
ly rounding into form. Nesbit has not
been out to practice as yet, but with
his appearance on the floor next week,
the team ought to take big brace.
The team is unusually weak at shoot
ing but as the season advances a big
improvement is expected.

AGGIES TO PLAY
MANITOBA u
WILL MIX IN INTERNATIONAL Az
FAIR - MAcALAsTER MAY BE
SCHEDULED - COLLEGE WILL
USE ATHLETIC PARK FOR skAT-
ING RINK.

Manager Colley reports that the
basketball schedule of the A. C. is
nearly completed. He has been using
every effort to get the very best games
possible for the aggies and the fine
bunch of games already scheduled
shows that he has succeeded. A game
with the Manitoba university is the
latest asset. This will prove to be the
best drawing card seen here for some
time as the locals will for the first time
mix in international athletics.
A game is also being arranged with
the fast Macalaster team from the
twin cities. The schedule as it appears
now will make at least twenty games
for the champions to play during the
winter. No one around the A, c..
seems to know where the coach has
disappeared to, he left a week ago for
a visit and has not returned, but there
Is no doubt but that he will show up
to issue the call for basket ball.
The proposed skating rink at Athletic
park is to become reality during the
short vacation, permission has been
granted and before very long skaters
will be seen gliding around the park.

Owners OF Ford Cars Have
Real Automobile Service
AS Important AS the Car, Is
The Service That Goes With Ii

Over 4, 900 FORD dealers, each with a
stock of parts, are scattered all over AM
erica, waiting and ready to serve FORD
users, no matter from what section of the
country they come.
1t is practically impossible to go fifty
miles in any direction without finding one
or more FORD dealers.
In most states FORD dealers are found
every 20 miles. You will probably never
need their service, but it is most COM
forting thing to know they are there, if
you do need them.
Because, getting right down to brass
tacks, there is only one kind of service
worth the snap of your fingers when you
are out on a tour and anything goes
wrong. And that is-immediate service.
Only the FORD owner has the benefit
of such service, and it is the greatest in
surance policy you can have for motoring
satisfaction.
The very fact that every third car sold
In America is a FORD Model T, shows
the distinctive possibilities for Ford serv-
ice. A network of agencies covers all
states during all seasons 1t is the most
efficient sales organization known in the
Automobile Industry, and no less notable
in giving service to FORD owners.

WOLGAST IS
MUCH IMPROVED

Los Angeles, Dec. 2.--Ad Wolgast,
champion lightweight pugilist, who
underwent an operation Wednesday
for the removal of his vermiform ap-
pendix, was resting easily and was
pronounced by his physicians to be in
satisfactory condition.
Wolgast showed much interest in the
outcome of the Welsh Richtie fight
Thursday and smiled when told that
Welsh has secured the decision at the
end Of twenty rounds of gruelling
fighting. He made no comment.
Mgr, Tom Jones denied the reports
that Wolgast would be unfit to fight
after he had recovered from the effects
of the operation.
"Wolgast is still the champion"
Jones said, and he will defend his
title. 1t may be some time, but he
will re-enter the ring and Freddie
Welsh will be his first opponent for
the title. But l will not allow VOL
CAST to do any kind of training in less
than six months"

ably because they are seldom in line

The FORD owner not only has the
benefit of immediate relief, if a mishap
occurs while on tour, but such a thing as
being without the use of his car while the
factory is making an adjustment is un-
known to him.
Because adjustments are made by the
FORD branch houses and dealers which
are located in all the large cities in the
country, but while the adjustment is be-
ing made, the FORD owner is driving his
car, the same as ever, the extra part hav-
ing Been furnished by the nearest dealer
or branch.
Mind you no dealer can secure a
FORD agency without keeping a stock
of parts, and keeping that stock replen-
ished. He must give service, or lose the
most reliable automobile connection in
the world. So it is by reason of the en-
forcement of this aud other FORD rules
that the FORD service means real ser.

organization before deciding to buy other
