ORDEMAN FLOPPED
Big TURK TWICE
MINNEAPOLIS HEAVYWEIGHT HAD
AN EASY TIME WITH FOR
EIGN OPPONENT.

Minneapolis, Dec. 9.-Henry Orde-
man, Minneapolis heavyweight wres-
thing champion, found easy prey in
Nanagof, the imported Turkish wres-
tier. The Minneapolis man downed the
foreigner in two straight falls, winning
The first Is minutes and THROWN his
adversary for a second time in 13 min
Ntes.
ordeman displayed fine form in the
match and no doubt is better this sea-
Son than ever before. The Minneapo-
lis athlete was aggressive throughout
and whenever Managon clamped on a
hold the local grappler very cleverly
extricated himself.
ordeman won the first fall with a
reverse Nelson and body hold and ac.
complished the second with the same
hold. The M~inneapolttan appeared to
have Managoff at his mercy from the
outset and there was little chance for
the latter.
A capacity crowd witnessed the
match which considerable en-

GRAND FORKS
Lost FIRST GAME

Grand Forks, N. d, Dec. Blast
Grand Forks was victor over the
Grand Forks high school in both the
basketball games of the first and Sec
ond team clashes Saturday night.
The game between the first teams
was not as close as was expected.
though the east siders had a great ad-
vantage in having all but on of their
last years men back, while the locals
were composed entirely OF new men,
who seemed to be better on team work,
but were far excelled by their Oppon-
ents In basket shooting.
East siders won by a 26 to IL score.
HalvOrsOn Starred.
Halvorson was the individual star
for the v~ictors, making all the points,
eleven in number, made by his team
in the first half, and making fourteen
counters in both halves, there being
only twenty-six made.
LukkaSon came next in line with
four baskets to his credit, n the re-
mainder of their points were made by
Center Giese, who was successful in
shooting two baskets in the last half.
Locals Seemed Frightened.
The Grand Forks men showed ex-
cellent team work, though they appear
ed to be frightened, and this vas to
be expected, as this was the first ap-
for most of them as represen-
tatives for their school.
Roy Ferguson was the most success
full of any of the locals. He made sew
en- points in the play. Carter ana
Wells were the only others to make
anything, each of these being success
full in making two points.
The second teams battled to a Is to
is win for East Grand Forks.
