BEATEN BY A. c.

C1tSot SOAISSG was SlAIAlLIAdlSu do a
contender for the state basketball
championship Saturday evening by
the A. G. team on the home floor OF
the latter. The preachers went to
pieces in the last half and the super
Tor teamwork Of the A. G. put the boys
IN the hill to rout, the final score be-
ing Is to 10 in favor of the A. =.
The first half was a heart-breaker.
Both teams played a desperate guard
ing game. The A. G. worked a few
fast passes and Wheeler Gagged the pill
for the first basket of the game. The
A. c. rooters who were packed like
sardines along the north side of the
hall, emitted a roar that raised the
roof three inches.
Soon after Forth threw a foul and
gave the Fargo college bunch their
first chance to yell. Bolsinger made
a pretty shot for the A. c. and put
the farmers well in the lead but the
preachers came back strong with their
marvellous individual play. Thaycr
dribbled out of the melee and made a
beautiful shot, the best of the game.
The f. c. rooters went wild. Harring-
IOAy Lii6 "OL1NlGlL llLLl6 dISO COll6S5
forward, squirmed out of the mix-up
and Gagged another, putting Fargo COL
lege in the lead for the first time.
This was DOR followed by a foul for
Fargo college by Forth and the
preachers howled with delight. The A.
c. rallied and rained baskets around
the rim, Opdahl finally dropping one
through for the final count Of the first
half. The half ended Fargo college,
Z; A. c., c.
A. c. Back Strong.
Coach Rueber evidently talked Turk
ish to his men between halves for they
appeared like a different team during
the second half. The preachers on
the other hand seemed to get lost
on the big floor, and only made three
points during the last half.
The first point in the last half went
to Fargo college when Immediately
following the tip-off a foul was called
on the A. c.. and Forth made the
point. This only seemed to liven UP
the A. c. bunch still more, how ever,
and with quick, accurate passing they
swept up the field and in a few min
utes had made three baskets, piling
up their score. Hackett made the first
basket. Both teams had plenty of
hard luck in finding the net, the ball
bounding of the rim time and again.
Haggart and German went in for
Fargo college n the A. c. respect
lively and later Fargo college ran in
a number Of new men but they could
not stem the tide of defeat, and when
the last whistle blew the board
read: Fargo college, 10; A. c., Is.
For the A. c. the guards deserve
great honor; Bolsinger and Opdahl,
for splendid floor work n basket
shooting; German, Hackett and Nolet
did splendid offensive work. The
chief asset of the A. c. team was their
continual habit of five men down on
the floor" .
For Fargo college the guards like
wise did good work. Time and again
Forth and Boise broke up the plays
formed by the aggies. Thayer at center
showed considerable speed, while
Slingsby and Harrington played good
hard ball.
C. c. Hawke, referee from Minnea-
polls, gave fine satisfaction. Mr..
Hawke is one of the best referees in
the northwest, having refereed the
Minnesota Iowa game, Friday night,
in which Minnesota won, Lawler
spearing five baskets.
Dale Wolf as umpire did good work.

A. C. Spirit Good.
The agricultural college is this year
showing more college spirit than 1t
has ever done before. The roofing at
the game Saturday night was com
mendable, and undoubtedly helped in
inspiring their players, especially in
the last half. There was no difference
in the spirit shown, when the team
was behind, in fact they seemed 10
yell more iercely and confidently when
ahead. Fargo college always has a
splendid college spirit and their
snappy yell a kept up continually
but they were badly o~utnumbered by
the larger school and We're often
drowned out"
