GRAND RAPIDS HERE SATURDAY

Tomorrow night the Bemidji High
school basket ball team will clash
with the; Grand Rapids team. Both
teams will enter the game determined
to win. The local team met defeat
at their hands a few weeks ago but
believe they can win back the honors
lost. The manager of the rink re-
fused to let the team have the hall for
ten dollars but will pay all expenses
for the total gate receipts. This
takes all responsibility off of the bas-
let ball managers hands; but there
will be no chance to clear any money.
