soon In Chicago. to be staged in Far

arranged here between Emil Klank,
manager of Mahmout, and George
Barton Of Minneapolis, manager for
Ordeman.
Henry Ordeman and zbyszko wrest-
led one hour in Fargo without a fall
after the Pole had been loud in hts
boasts that he could dump the Nor
W'egtan twice in an hour. Klank
wants to give Mahmout a chance at
Ordeman 80 that the fan can COM
pare the work of the Turk. with that
of the Pole.
Gotch picks the Turk to win easily
e zbyszko. but there are many
wrestling experts here and in New
York who have watched the work OF
the two men who say the Turk will
have trouble dumping Ordman In an
hour. Klank "a Mahmout can
throw Ordman twice within the hour
and still have time to rest and it is
likely the match will be made on that
basis. the same as in the Ordman.
Zbyszko bout.
Ordman will not wrestle the Turk
unless he is assured of a forfeit should
he stay the hour with Mahmout
klank is 8 o confident his man car

A large and enthusiastic crowd
turned out for the struggle and the

angles. beautiful blocking and those
in attendance did not want for thrills.
Opening with a rush and a basket

first minute of play. only to be quickly
followed with a basket by Harris, the
fast forward of the "1neligibles," the
fast. snappy play was continued With
no let UP throughout the game. q"
The team work and the passing and
blocking Of both teams were brilliant.
Harris. n former high school player,
starred for the visitors. He is. a dead
shot" on basket throwing. and. the vis-
itors kept feeding the ball to him.
In the first half the Duluth players
practically held their opponents even,
the score at the end being 10 to IL,
the larger figures favoring the %univer-
sity players.
Paddock. Solhcim. Roerner and
Johnson did the scoring for the locals
and Harris and Mckeon performed d
like service for the "~Ineligibles."
The second half was even faster
than the first. The Duluth players ap-
parently had the jump on their OPP
ponents and it looked for n time like
another victory for the BOAT club ag-
gregation. The university players set
tied down later and made a business of
breaking up plays and scoring them
selves. In the matter of breaking up
plays Roscnwald was the bright and
shining example for the visitors. =.
