Workmen are busy putting the

is being slightly delayed because of
the derrick being .trifle light,
which necessitates that the con-

.BEMIDJl TEAM DEFEATED
Thief River Falls Earned Small Vic.
tory Over Bennidji High School
CUNT Last Evening
CONTEST WAS FAST AND CLEAN

Replete with clean, fast and spec
tacular plays the Bemidji high school
basket ball team>was humbled by the
Thief River Falls quint last evening
in that city by score Of IS to 16.
At no time during the game was
the Pennington county five sure Of
victory and fought hard throughout
the forty minutes of play to keep in
the lead of their visitors. Bemidji
players could be easily picked as the
faster of the two quints but being I'M
familiar with their surroundings aid
playing on smaller floor they were
unable to use their team work to
advantage.
Lloyd Tanner of Bemidji was the
star of the game and out classed any
player on either team as to skill in
shooting baskets and evading his
guard. This plucky little player
shot eight out of nine chances on
free throws while the foul shooter
on the Thief River quint only made
two. Tanner also made three field
baskets from difficult angles while
the only other man on the Bemidji
team that was credited with basket
was Hayner who played center.
''They certainty are nice bunch
was one of the remarks made by a
member of the Bemidji quint when
referring to the treatment they re-
ceived. "The crowd was the largest
that I have ever seen at game and
every one was roofing hard for their
home team but did not interfere with
us in any way. We have no kick
coming and will be sure that Thief
River will be treated in similar
manner when they play here" -.
Graham brothers also figured pro-
minently as stars at guard. Fred
Graham did not allow his man a
chance to make a basket while George
kept his men down to one field
throw. ...'~a.-. =
