MINOT WANTS A
STATE

Fargo. March 4.-That a high
school basketball tournament of the
cams in the state which have a right
to compete for the state title should
be held at the University Of Grand
Forks. is the contention Of Superin-
tendent Wolf of. the Minot public
schools. In The Minot Reporter. his
idea Of the situation is set forth as
follows:
For the past two years. Professor
Wolf has advocated a tournament, ar
ranged between the half dozen strong
est teams Of the state, to be played
at the university gymnasium. Super
intendent Lynn of the Kenmare
schools is working together with Mr..
Wolf in an effort to bring about such
q disposition of the championship
contests. Mr.. Wolf believes that on q
neutral floor with the management in
the hands of the best team in the
state would win the championship and
It would at the same time do away
with the bitter feeling That is engen
dered- frequently between some Of the
schools over the championship at the
present time.
This would seem a very fair and
otherwise very satisfactory way of dis
covering which basketball team was
really entitled to the championship"

CONFERENCE AND

Says Playing With Semi

Amateur Standing

New York, March At looks 10Y
as if there might be Il clash between
the Amateur Athletic union and the
colleges in the west when the season
for outdoor competition arrives. A
new conference rule is to h effect
that college baseball players may play
with semi-professional teams.
1t will perhaps work all right till
one of these men tries to enter A. A.
u. contests and then will come the
rub. for he will not be allowed to do
SO and will be Informed that he has
forfeited his amateur status even
though he did not receive money di-
rectly from his meeting with the pro-
fessional teams. In commenting on
the vital points of the new rule Ever

the A. A. U. and the present head of

THE A. A. U. has nothing to do
with any action taken by colleges. as
we have especially kept out of col

naturally have to look up his record.
and If that record showed thai he had

would be barred.
Makes Nice Distinction.
Now there Is a distinction between
competing against and with profes.

OF. Allowing a man to compete with
professionals or those who take money
for exhibition their skill would have

t1cally impossible to prove whether or
not money has been paid out or re-

Efforts Being Put Forth to

F1e Cane. sporting editor of the

over the platter in the opening game
Of the season. Cane says he is sure
Fargo will have q team, whether in
dependent or organized. and that 1t
will be a regular baseball nine-not
the Boston bloomer variety.
While Cane was in Grand Forks
ne met members of the Commercial
club who evfnced a strong desire to
see a team in this city. Most Of the
fans he talked with favored a state
league. 1t was suggested that q meet.

1t is practically assured that Grand
Forks will nave some baseball next
summer. The Picketts are warming
up to the occasion and will meet to-
night to talk things over. The main
question now, however, is whether
the Picketts will enter a state league
or whether they will prefer PLAYING
