Of 10 to Z, but the different gymnas-

Of Tuesday night ar dthe larger score

This makes the second defeat of
the South Dakota quint this week as
on. Monday night the Fargo college
quint was the victor in a one-sided
battle that resulted in a 33 to z score.
The results Of the games of Mon
day and Tuesday seem to show that
the Fargo college quint is much the
the most successful contender against
the University of North Dakota five.
Mondays Game.
The game started fast and in the
first minute Of play Bentz, the seven
foot center of the normalites easily
made a basket. At the start 1t looked
as II the college had at last met a
strong team and fans that packed the
sides Of the gymnasium were expect
hall was constantly under the college
basket. Time after time they shot
only to have 1t fall wide Of the mark.
This continued until near the end Of
the half when Boise broke the hoodoo
and found the ring. He was quickly
followed by a free throw by Forth.
The half ended with the score 9 to

In the second half Harrington took
the place Of Harrart. The play start

However, the college seemed to be
able to find the basket part Of the
time and their score rapidly piled VI.
ed but it was only towards the last
half that the normal team began to
show real spirit. making five more
points.
Not any of the playing could be
called brilliant. however. tho work of
young Harrington was sensational, he

Hill school.
1t is unfortunate that Fargo college
has not yet met a real opponent. II
the championship is to go to the hill

Joe Rivers Attracting Attention
Of the Coast Fans==Is a Conner

Attell looked like a few al ago.
Rivers retains the Mexican complex
ion and facial characteristics Of his
forbears. He is brown skinned and
sharp featured and possesses a pair of
beady. restless black eyes.
He Is a sure-footed fellow and he
thinks quickly and acts quickly. He
has a rapid, faultless left hand and
while. to the trained eye, there is Il
slight launching of the shoulder which
presages a right hand delivery, it must
he said that there is no bungling
whenever he notes an opening for the
dexter glove.
He hits with wonderful speed and
lands clearly. and he varies his meth
cd of working the right sufficiently to
keep the man in front of him guess
ing.
His very best effort. in the writer's
Judgment. is the right-hander he uses
when coming away from close quar-
ters. IT does not matter whether he
is standing erect or pulling out in a
stopping p~osition--hc is almost certain
to find the target. 1t is a blow that
curves over his advcrsary's guard and
lands squarely on the left side of the
face. and the accurate IL in
which he places it. shows that he pos
sesses nice judgment, both as to dis
lance and direction.
In his contest with Conley, Rivers
scoring with the right was a revela-
ton. Arguments are still in progress
as to whether it is that he is just a
Wee bit shy on the Knockout forceor
that Conley is more of a glutton than
the average man of his poundage.
After thinking it v l incline to
the belief that Conley takes to punish
ment almost as kindly as Battling
Nelson did and that were it not for alb
normal powers of resistance he would
have gone down from Rivers smash.
eS M
Rivers is beyond question a great
flnlshor. Whenever IL right-hander

gered ConleN. Master Joe followed up
his advantage with showers of sting
ing blows. When he finally had his
mar going in such Il way that there
was no doubt in regard to Conley be-
ing daed the end came very quickly.
Ad Wolgast was to have been at III
ringside to tax mental notes of the
way Rivers handled himself, but a
sever cold kept the chamion at home,
Molgast is not overlooking the fact
that he may be called upon some dan
to defend his title against the young
Mexican. He avs he considers Rivers
n of the most formidable of Aneri-
can lightweights.
There are several things in Rivers
favor said Wolgast. He is young.
