Y. M.C.A. DEFEATED
CONCORDIA College
FARGO Y. M. c. a. oUINTETTE
RUNS UP A BIG SCORE ON CON-
coRDIA COLLEGE FIVE AL
THOUGH THE coPHERs PUT UP
A GOOD GAME.

The Fargo Y. M. c. A. basketball
team ran up big score on the Con-
cordia college aggregation Saturday
night in a game at the local associa-
ton and marched away with victory
to the tune of 40 to II. The score
does not indicate the character Of the
game, nor the close competition be-
tween the two teams.
The Fargo five started off with a
rush and in less than a minute had
scored a basket. Concordia came back
and dropped the pill in twice, taking
the lead. However, the locals soon
made rapid strides and the first half
ended 81 to s in their favor.
In the second half the gophers
Jagged and did not put up the game.
They changed their lineup several
times in hopes of making a better
showing, but it was useless.
Both teams played in good form.
The Concordia men were in hard luck
and the ball often bounced out of the
basket for them, after what looked
to be a most successful shot. How
ever, the association players were
faster and did better team work than
the visitors.
Holzer put up a good game for Far
go and made himself felt in the team
work. Comstock was very fast on his
feet and did some clever passing, while
Captain dollhouse played a very eff
fective game Captain Johnson OF
Concordia did the best work for his
team.

LAST GAMES IN
INDOOR LEAGUE
LAST GAMES IN INDOOR BASE
BALL LEAGUE WILL BE PLAYED
OFF ToNIcHT-TWo PROTEST.
ED GAMES WILL BE PLAYED
AT CLOSE OF SEASON.

The last official games in the Inter-
UNCONVENTIONAL Indoor baseball league
will be played tonight at the Y. M. C.
A. gymnasium.
After q most successful run of al
most four months the church indoor
teams will close the official season to-
night with three big games. The "Y"
team has the pennant and there is
no doubt about this. Even though the
association players should fail to win
their two remaining games, they will
have the rag as their property, as no
other team in the league is SO sit
uated in the percentage list, as to be
able to take it away from them.
1t looks as If the Presbyterian team
or the A. c. batters will finish in the
second place and the First Methodists
will hang about midway down the list.
The Christians, Baptists and the
Broadway Methodists will make up
the last division from the present in
dications.
The first game this evening will be
between the "Y' and the Broadway
Baptists against the Presbyterians. In
the last game the Christians will cross
bats with the A. c. players.
The Y. M. c "A. and the Presbyter-
ians have protested game to play
off, which win be done as soon as is
possible. The First Methodists and
the A. c. bunch also have a protested
game which will be played at the close
of the season. These games will pos
stbly change the position of the
teams in the league with the excep-
ton of the leaders, as they are a fixed
thing.

To ask a racing driver to write
about the perils or race driving is like
asking an army officer TO sit down and
write an article on how the smell of
gunpowder makes him sick at his
stomach. OF course there are dangers
connected with automobile racing, but
with driver of speed cars it is all In
the days work, and / am writing this
article not because / have
any particular sentiments to voice or
kicks to make, but because / am in
formed by the editors that certain
people would be interested to know
what / think about racing dangers.
When racing / think no more about
the danger of the game than the army
officer does of the smell of smoke. The
danger is there, but there are other
thing to think about. 1t must be re-
membered that racing driver has to
watch out in order to keep his car on
the course at high speed. 1t isn't like
touring, where a driver can steer at
his leisure. 1t must be remembered
that a drivers brain (most of us are
credited with having a few brains)
is in a particularly active state all
through a bookkeeping tabs on speed

ing the dust of the man ahead listen

firing properly watching the tires.
lodging the poor fools who run out on
the course, slowing down at the bad
bumps and turns, yet so as not to
waste to much power, watching sig
nails from the pits and camps, etc.
Really, ia driver has to do great deal,
and bearing all this in his mind, all
thought of danger seems to get crowd
ed out. OF course, / am speaking of
seasoned men, for / know that many
new drivers are nervous in races and
feel the strain.
What ] consider the most danger
Gus thing that can happen to man
in q race is to have something go
wrong with the steering gear. Under
almost any other circumstances a
driver can do things in an emergency,
Eif he is quick enough. that will save
him, but a breaking steering gear
renders him practically helpless in
stantly, for it is seldom possible to
apply the brakes and bring the car to
a stop before It is ditched or before it
hits something.

WHAT DO YOU
KNOW ABOUT IT?
FARGO HIGH SCHOOL HAS BEEN
ELIMINATED FROM STATE RAs-
kET5ALL CHAMPIONSHIP RACE
BY GRAND FORKS ALTHOUGH
TEAMS HAVE NOT MET.

The Fargo high school basketball
team. which has played almost every
strong team in this section of the
state, and has not met a defeat this
year, has been eliminated from the
state championship race" said a local
basketball fan today.
Although they have not played a
game with Grand Forks, that is the
team that has put them out OF the
running They play Grand Forks at
that place next Wednesday, Feb. %,
for the first game between the two
teams this year. A week from next
Saturday the Grand Forks team will
play a return game here. The team
which wins the most points in the
two games is to be conceded the better
team of the two, according to an agree
ment between management of both
teams and yet they have been de-
feated," and the fan handed out the
following clipping from The Grand
Forks Times:
The Grand Forks high school
team has also been making good.
They have not been beaten this
year and have a fine claim to the
high school championship of the
state. They have defeated the
Fargo high school by a decisive
score and also the strong Ada
high school of Ada, Mimi, and
have without doubt a clear title
to the honors as far as the east
ern part of the state is concerned.
Minot was in the high school race
until they were defeated by Ken
mare about two weeks ago. This
leaves Kenmare with a claim to
the state honors but as the two
cities are so far apart and the
expenses of a game could not be
met by high school organization
1t is not expected that the matter
will be settled by a contest.
"Now what do you know about
that?" asked the fan. Wonder how
big that decisive score was"

game with a field goal, but the gate
city players soon caught up with
them and the score of the first half
ended Is to in favor of Fargo In
the second period of the game the
locals travelled with more speed, and
played rings around the home team.
Fargo was strong on getting bas-
kets and had good luck at dropping
the pill in the hoop. The team work
of the little giants was superb and
they played remarkably fast game
in the second half The Wahpeton
players were clever men, but their
game was devoid of any great amount
of passing, and they had extremely
hard luck at the basket.
For Fargo Hines played a very good
game at center. He managed to cage
the sphere four times and beat his
rival on the jump at center. Captain
Cruikshank was in the game all. the
time and dropped the ball in the net
on six different occasions. Nesbitt
and Pollock also played good game
for Fargo.

over their visit. At the close of the
game they We're entertained at a
dance and were treated most royalty
by their hosts.

girls of the Wahpeton high school
and the young ladies of the Hartman

16 to 4.

steering column Is working properly.
A right rear tire blowing up has a
tendency to make the car slew around
to the right and rear left hand blow
out to the left, unless the car happens
to be turning. If a car is skidding
when tire bursts the rear of the car
usually swings with jump in the d.
rection in which it is skidding. When
front tires blow out the skid is toward
the side with the torn casing. OF
course, it does not always work out
this way, but a quick twist of the

which tire it is that rips.

ing at speed. AS a road course Savan-
nah's circuit Is about ideal. Cars tore
over this at remarkably high speed in
practice as well as the days of the
races, and yet at the finish of the
Grand Prize the course was in almost
as good condition as 1t ever was. On
such course as this the danger is

nearly as dangerous to average seven
ty-one miles an hour as it was to av-
erage sixtytwo at Elgin or fifty at
Briarcliff, | shall always remember
the latter, for it was my first race,
and upset beautifully.
On mile tracks the principal danger
lies in poor banking, and for this rea-
son I had to learn to guide cars at
speed regardless of banking, for sew
eraL of the worlds records 1 hold were
made on courses where banking
amounted to almost nothing. Ruts are
another bad feature of dirt tracks-a
nuisance not found on motor speed
ways like Atlanta or Indianapolis,
where eighty miles an hour can be
averaged with comparative safety.
The most dangerous drive ever
took, in my opinion. was on one sixth
mile hoard bicycle saucer at Passaic,

few months ago. Covering 1T one-half
mile, or three laps. in forty three

AS far as eliminating danger is con-
cerned, I am strongly in favor of the
idea Of the contest board being very
strict about granting drivers licences
TO any except men who have proved
their ability to drive. / do not say
this because ! happen to have been
successful and want to keep others
out of the game, bit a number OF acct
dents have been caused by inexperi-
enced men plotting fast machines. and

The only hitch which stopped the
formation Of a four-club organization
was the fact that Winnipeg and Bran
don clubs have already started nego-
tiations towards organizing an eight
club international league somewhat
on the plans of the old Northern
league. President Blackburn. repre-
senting the local club, stated that
Frank Bell and Mill Morrow OF the
Winnipeg and Brandon clubs were
leaving next week to endeavor TO form
an international league composed of
Duluth, Superior, Virginia City,
Hibbing, Grand Forks, Fargo and
the two Canadian cities, and until
word has been heard from these rep
resentatives nothing could be decided
upon in connection with the Western
Canada league. However, the Mani
toba representatives decided to fall I'm
line with Calgary and Edmonton If
the international idea falls through, so
that there will be some kind of a
league in the west
