MURRAY WILL
LEAD J.. TEAM

Grand Forks, March 22-Ray Muir
ray, of Kenmare, the fighting guard of
the varsity basketball team, was chos-
en- Saturday afternoon by his team
mates to lead the quintet next ear.
There was considerable SURPRISE at this
for the reason that Murray is only a
freshman his year, but there Is little
doubt but that he will fill the position
eXcellently.
Murray came to the university last
other husky boys who a all made
names for themselves in athletics ano
joined those already here to create :he
name which has often been applied to
the delegation from the western city,
Kenmare's fighting sever He immed-
lately attracted notice on the football
field, both on account of his speed and
his ability to advance the ball. He had
considerable trouble with a bad knee,
but came back in time to make a sensa-
ton as a half before the season finish
ed.
Finishing the football season, he
continued athletics within the opening
Of basketball, landing a berth as n
regular guard in the position held the
year before by Wilcox, and holding it
throughout the entire. season.
1t is but seldom that players enter
from a high school and make a varsity
team the first year in any line of sport,
but this was done this year by both
Murray and Murphy, the elongated
center, but both boys had been stars
on their prep team and in other
branches of sport. Murray is perhaps
the hardest player that ever represent
ed the university. Not only is he fasr,
but he is strong and heavy, good as
sets for a guard, and he uses all these
to the very utmost and at every second
during a game.
. AS a captain who will be an example
for the rest Of the team to follow,
Murray will be the best, and he is also
a favorite with all the players per-
sonally.
The men who voted in the election
were Robinson, retiring captain and
playing his last year; Smith, Lowe,
Murphy, Murray, Thexton and Cook.

WINONA FANS
GETTING BUSY

Winona, March 23.-At the first
big booster meeting to be held previous
to the opening Of the 1914 Northern
league season, a large number Of Wi
mona fans were given some interest
ing facts by the local directors. The
gathering Saturday evening, while
not as well attended as it might have
been, showed that the fans in the city
are alive and appreciate good clean
baseball, as vas furnished them UNI
der the management Of Lefty Davis
last year. In practically every talk
from the fans this appreciation of
clean sport and praise for Lefty Davis
was made manifest. .
In his short talk to the fans, Lefty
said that he is not promising another
.pennant winning team this year, but
he has the nucleus of last years team,
and with such a basis to build up
from, Winona will have a team she
will be proud of.

team at st. Joseph, Mo. NJ.
Things look like something doing in
baseball in the local field this year.
With such a lineup of players, and
with the excellent opportunity which
many Of them have for practice with
men of big league caliber, the season
should open with a bang when the
locals meet Superior on the Moorhead
field on May s.
BY. the way, if You haven't already
suggested a name for the team, why
not do So? Lots of good names have
been suggested, but there are a lot
more that haven't been thought Of, and
you might suggest one that would
strike the Judges just right, and win
for YOU that season ticket, which is
Worth $31 and admits you to sixty

From Thursdays Daily.

DR.. and Mrs? A. T. Molzahn and
little daughter arrived last night in
Mankato and are visiting at the home
OF Mrs. Molzahn's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. John K. Penhale OF Fulton
street. They have been In Europe
for about fifteen months, and came
! directly to Mankato from there.
At the beginning of the war DR..
Molzahn was in vienna, where he
, had been doing post graduate medi-
, cal work, and was about to leave
with his family. News OF the trouble
reached them about the end of July
and they with party of forty Amer
| lean physicians and their families
left together for Frankfort, Germany.
They had secured through tickets to
London, and planned to return to
America by that route. But on the
second day OF the journey word
reached the party that England had
declared war, so they went to Frank
fort. This journey which ordinarily
takes about one day took two days
and a night, the party having tray-
elled on military trains.
Received Courteous Treatment.
The American consul advised the
Americans to stay there until mobil-
ization OF troops was over at least,
and they spent about six weeks In
Frankfort. During the first two or
three days they were in Frankfort,
DR.. and Mrs. Molzahn and other
Americans were afraid to appear on
the streets in. groups. because of the
excitement, and the danger of being
mobbed by people who might think
they were English. The excitement
subsidized. however. in three or four
days and all the Americans in the
city received the most courteous
treatment.
Mrs. Molzahn stated this morning
that although the Germans did not
like to house foreigners that those
who were In the city were given
every reasonable attention. Some OF
the stores raised the prices of their
goods during the carly part Of the
war but the mayor OF Frankfort is
sued an order to arrest any mer-
chant or person engaged In any
business who charged higher
rates than he had previously
charged. and while the Mplzahns
were I'm Frankfort two stores were
closed and the owners arrested for
| disobeying the order
Delay In Departure.
Dr. and Mrs. Molzahn secured pass
age on the Holland American line
steamer "Noordam," which was book
ed to sail from Rotterdam on Sep
TENDER 16. They remained in Frank
fort until a week before the boat
was to sail. but there was weeks
delay because the ''Noordam'' was
seized by the English on its passage
from New York to Rotterdam and
held for several days.
Mrs. Molzahn when asked about the
position OF the Germans now, stated
that the Americans who had been
in Germany felt that the reports
which had been given out by the
English and French were inclined
to make II appear that they were
winning more ground than Is really
the case, although she believed also
