agerner,t Making Plans
For Twin City Trip

The basketball interest at. the uni
versity Ia divided at the present time
between the game Friday. evening with
the Y. NJ. C. A. and the contemplated
trip to the twin cities. Friday nights
game with the Y. M. c.. A. Is the first
of three. the second of which will be
held ON founders day. February %,
Washington's birthday.
The varsity five suffered defeat by
large sized scores from the Y NJ: G.
A. last year. but this year according
to all of the fans and Coach Dunlap
there will be a different. tale to chron-
icle. The state duint is working bet
ter every day and the end of the sea-
son should see a machf almost per-
feet. Heimes at center. a tower of
strength In himself. Sa9en and Sad at
forward and Wilcox and Robinson at
guard make a quintette that will not
only win its laurels but will write his
tory in the annals Of Flickertail bas-
ketball--if they continue their present
gait.
The game Y. NJ. C. A. will probably
be one Of the hardest fought of the
entire season. The 'Y" auint while 1t
is shy Bill Woods and DOC" O'Keefe.
both stars. still has some exceedingly
fist material and will put up the game
of its sweet young . :istence. The

Three games have been secured for
the contemplated trip and 1t is proba-
before the end of the week. The
schedule as arranged now for the trip
the second week in February includes
st. Cloud normal. February g.: st.

was on the schedule for a game on
February 3, but they evidently suf-
fered from the cold snap in the pedal
extremities as they have written can
ceiling the fracas. .
st. Thomas. Manchester and HAM
line have still failed to come across
with a game and 1t is the plans Of
h varsity MANAGEMENT to offer them
sufficient inducements for the purpose
Of inveigling them into taking a beat
ing by the Flickertails.
While no special ARRANGEMENTS have
been made. 1t is probable that the U.
n. D. five will vie with. the University
OF Minnesota quint while on the trip.
The Gopher management has ex-
pressed a willingness to schedule a
game during the fore part of Febru-
airy n 1t Is expected that definite ar
rangements will be announced in the
near future. While the varsity quint
is not laborinE under the delusion
that they can teach the Gophers any
thing about the game they believe
that if a game is scheduled that they
can at least show the Minnesotans
something about digging into the game
and working hard.
In regard to, the games with Mac
alester, Hamline and st. Thomas. the
u: N. d. management is not worrying
about the expense OIL trying to stick
the parties of the first part for a f1nan-
cial loss. All they want is a chance
to wallop the aforementioned quints
and in the case of Hamline. to atone
to a certain extent the defeat on the
gridiron last fall.
Nothing will be left undone to Sc.
cure the games and if in the last re-
sort the twin city colleges balk at ex.
pense then will a subscription list be
started to enable the varsity squad to
make the trip and to show up the
holdouts.
