IN THE WORLD OF SPORT

son, and their schedule had been filled,
However a game for this year was
PROMISED, and Mr.. Forester has been
IN communication with Allen Mclean,
manager OF athletics here, and has -e-
ceiVe6 the assurance that q date will
he arranged Cor rs soon as the con
ference games ave been settled,
which will not be later than Dec. /.
Getting back on the calendar with
the Minnesota institution will mean
much for the university here il ath-
letics. Being ahle to play them this
fall in football was a big step .oward
this end, anil the playing of a game
of basketball this winter will further
aiG in placing the two Institutions IN
close athletic relation. There is no
reason why North Dakota should not
take it's place with other universities
in athletics, the state furnishes just
as good men as any, but the fact that
this school has always contested with
the smaller colleges has lost many OF
them to larger universities. BY play
ing Minnesota, South Dakota and 9TH
err Of the big schools, these men will
come to their own university, and
within a few years North Dakota will
become a factor to be reckoned with
in athletics.
Resides the Gophers, the varsity
will play with st. Olaf, Gustavus
Adolphus, Carleton and St. Johns in
Minnesota and on the way there the
Wahpeton science school, Fargo col
lege n the A. C.. will be played.
The games here will be with the
A. C. On Feb. 25 Fargo college, posi-
bly, on March II. Huron college of
Huron, S. D., is making a trip here.
Huron tool the championship Of the
state last year n the contest here
his year ought to produce consider
able interest. Both st. Olaf and Gus
tavus Adolphus will also play here.
Negotiations are in progress at pres
ent with the Winnipeg Y. M. c. A.
for a game, which is doubtful. Two
contests will be staged with the local
~" one at the "Y" gymnasium and
one out at the university.
The team will present a decided
appearance from the one of last ear.
Sagen, the big forward and center,
graduated and will not be with the
varsity. Wilcox, considered one Of the
best guards in the state, also gradu-
ated and will be absent from the quin-
tette. Burfening, forward last year..
for he first time as a regular. is at
Minnesota and will be missed greatly.
Captain Robinson Is the only old
man on the team, but the material
that Is showing up already assures
North Dakota Of a. quintette that will
be a speedy one If not as heavy as
those which have represented it for
the past three years.
TheXton, Of st. Thomas is back in
school and can be depended on to
take care Of a forward position. He
was a member of the squad in 1910.
The next year he attended the Man
itoba university, and when that team
played here was responsible for most
Of the worry given by the CANADIANS.
Captain Robinson will hold down his
old place at guard. He with Wilcox
proved to be the best pair Of guards
the institution has ever produced.
Robinson Is noted for the small mum
Der OF shots a forward gets on him,
and in addition to that is almost a
sure scorer himself. He did not play
a game in 1911, the winter before
last, in which he did not make more
points than his opponent.
Center will be contested for by
Chittick, Lowe, Murphy and Forester.
Lowe n Chittick were members OF
the squad last year, in fact Chittick
has been on the squad for the last
four years, being a most valuable
utility man. Murphy is a freshman
and was a member of the Minot high
school team, a big rangy fellow who
