One OF the best racing events seen

After skating nine laps williams
was relieved by Claud Ward who made

a little but not enough to make the
young champ exert himself. Time was

MAKES
ITS DEBUT TONIGHT
THE BASKETBALL CURTAIN WILL
RISE THIS EVENING IN WHAT
PROMISES TO BE A CLASSY
GAME BOTH TEAMS HAVE
WORKED HARD FOR THIS GAME

The A. G. basketball squad are put
ting in hard practice this week in
preparation for their game Saturday
evening with Moorhead Normal. The
game is to be played at the Normal
gymnasium.
Updahl, a former st. Olaf and U. N.
ID. star, has reported for work and is
out every night for practice, Bentley
of Glendale Normal has also been
to try for a position. These two
men will make valuable additions to
the team as both have had a great
deal of experience along basketball
lines.
Capt. Wheeler has been on the sick
list for a few days but will be at 1t in
a day or two, his place at center is be-
ing filed in pretty good style by Cor
ma and Simpson. The guards at
present are barrow, Bolsinger and
Updahl. Darrow is fast rounding into
old time form and the latter two are
doing very well at their end of the
game. Nolet has the call undoubted-
ly for n of the forward positions
with Bently, Hackett and Hall making
strong bids for the two positions also.
Many other fellows are trying for
places and those that are holding
down positions will have to work even
harder to hold them.
The rumor that has been circulating
to the effect that there would be no
games with Fargo college Is unfounded
as in all probability the games will
be played on the dates set aside.

F. c. TO CLASH WITH
CONCORDIA MONDAY
UNDER THE WATcHFuL EYE OF
COACH WATKINS THE TEAM is
RAPIDLY ROUNDING INTO
sHAPE-MANY CANDIDATES Az
TER POSITIONS.

The college season of basketball has
at last arrived, and the basketball
prophets in Fargo will have a chance
to pick their favorite team and boost
it toward the championship.
The first game is billed for next
Monday afternoon when the Fargo col
lege quintet clashes with Concordia's
sons Of Norway from across the river,
in the F. c. gymnasium.
Considerable interest has been
aroused in this game as it is the first
specimen of the collegiate style Of
basketball played by college teams in
North Dakota.
The F. G. boys are delighted with
the o liberal style of the indoor
game and expect to do wonders as soon
as the new style has become more
familiar. Coach Watkins has been
training the squad in the rudiments
of several new departments of the,
game that were not allow ed under the
rules, and Mondays game
will show the result of his ability.
The +. Q. lineup has not been chosen
vet but will be picked from the fol-
lowing men: Center, Thayer; for
wards, SIingsby, Clemens, Harring-
ton, d. barrow; guards, Forth, Boise.
Murray, Catlin.
The game will be called at 4
o'clock in the Fargo college gym.

Boxing is the highest form Of phys
4cal exercise. Greater skill is required
thai in most games or forms Of exer-
else. It is one of the best means of
self-defense. Every man and boy
naturally and justly inherits the de-
sire to become skillful and proficient
in this art of self defense. The game
is clean and manly, the results are
useful. Boxing creates confidence.
Experience proves that such conf
dence lessons rather than increases a
mans ego. The man who knows how
is the peaceful rather than the vicious
citizen.
The average mai and youth that
first takes up the study of the great
pastime seems to have an idea that
he must rush right in at his opponent
with his head down and his eyes
shut, swinging his arms wildly as If
lighting a swarm of bees. 1t is al.
right to be enthusiastic but never let
anything take the place of cool caIcu-
lation, Boxing above all other sports
requires that the action of its follow
ers be governed by generalship and
judgment. Generalship is considered
even more important than in foot
ball or baseball game. A boxer should.
be like a winning jockey who uses
caution in the early part of the race
and as the opportunity arises takes
advantage Of 1t in a seconds time.
When the long sought for opening has
been found take for you keynote the
words Of a famous literary nan who
once wrote:
DO not delay; do not delay;
The golden moments n.y."
Items that a boxer must set out to
accomplish might be summarized as
follows; The correct positions; the
hands, clinching the fist, the feet. The
