BASKET BALL PICKING UP
Local Teams Finally Get Into Action
With Fast Teams. Big Games
Tonight and Tomorrow.

With Fast Teams. Big Games
Tonight and Tomorrow.
This week Wednesday and Thurs
day evenings two of the best basket
ball games of the season will be
played in this city when the St. Joe
Juniors of Minneapolis will play the
High School and Seminary teams.
Tonight at the high school gym at
$3.50 o'clock, the first game of the
series will be played. AS the visitors
will not arrive until 9:10, a good fast
preliminary has been arranged. This
game will begin at 8:15 o'clock. It is
probable that the high school and
Seminary second teams will tangle
in this battle, and the result should be
an interesting struggle.
Very little is known here this year
of the strength of the St. Joe team,
as practically nothing has appeared
in the city papers concerning them.
However, one thing is assured and
that is that they are just as fast as
was the case last year. Among last
years members who played here, are
Art O'Shea, the fighting center, who
is tower of strength. both on the
offense and defense; Elmer Theis,
the steady and reliable guard, will be
right back on the job again this sea.
son. Arnoldy will beat one forward
position while two men will take the
places of Heller and Thole. The
high school team of this year can,
be mentioned in the same breath with
the one of last, but they will put up
the best game they know. If by any
accident all members of the squad
would be up it would help whole
lot. The captain is not setting his
men very good example this year
to our way Of thinking.
The Seminary this year has q
team that has great possibilities and
| with Harstad in the game at center
O'Shea will have both hands and q
foot full, to hold his own. The north
| side quint feel pretty good after their
victory over the Soldier boys of Olivia
and are determined to fight like
tigers in an effort to bring home the
bacon Thursday.
Monday the team will journey tc
Olivia for the return game with Co
H. and hot time is looked for. That
awful walloping Of a week ago still
rankles in the breasts Of the victims
and, on their own floor, which Ii
large, with a high ceiling, a tough
game is expected. e. =

Drops Hard Game Last Friday
Evening.
Coming from behind =, in the last
part of the game, the St. Cloud Nor
NAL second team overcame the lead
the locals had gained, and emerged
from the battle victorious by the
score of Is to 9. The game was played
at the high school gym, last Friday
evening, and fair sized, lusty.lunged
crowd was on hand to cheer their
favorites.
The locals lead thruout the game
until the last five minutes of play,
when the visitors assumed the lead
and held it until the end of the game.
Neither Holt nor Erickson were able
to take part in the game, the former
due to illness and the latter to school
work.
With instructions to play strictly
defensive. game, the locals acquitted
themselves in splendid fashion, and
succeeded in holding the sanity out
fit to solitary field basket. Hog
lund shot a foul and just before time
was called for the end of the half,
Osmundson dropped the ball thru the
ring for two points. The half ended
with Willmar on the long end of a
3 to 2 score. The second half started
with rush and in q few minutes,
the visitors tied the score with a
foul. Then Severinson and Norling
dropped the ball in, in quick success
sion, bringing the Willmar total up
to z. Here the onward march was
halted however, and St. Cloud got
busy. Captain Borman got busy and
tied the score with two baskets and
then Norling sent the locals into
the lead again with a pretty basket.
Longwell tied the score again at 9
all and here it remained for some
time. Finally Borman got loose again
and Gagged the ball for the winning
counter. Just to insure the game
Longwell and Williams added field
goals. a
Lack of an accurate basket shooter
cost the locals the game. Time and
again in the second half, with a nice
exhibition of team work, the high
school would work the ball up under
the basket and 'blow". an easy pot
shot. They missed enough Of these
shots to have won the game.
One Of the features Of the game was
the work Of the smallest man on the
floor against the biggest, Harald Sew

office of county assessors will be
changed from two years to six years
will be submitted &c the people By In
itiation in November, according to a
decision reached by the Colorado
assessors at the final session of their
conference with the state tax commits

years is not sufficient time for an
officer to become sufficiently acquaint-
ed with the complicated duties of his
position to give the public the best
service. They will therefore initiate
an amendment and submit it to the
people, on the ground that the change
would work for higher efficiency in
the administration of the public bust
