State intercollegiate Bas-
ketball Situation is
Peculiar.

: Fargo, y. IT,. Fob. GA review
at the Nrrth Dakota intercollegiate
basketball season d~iScloses some in.
'e,es'ing and almost startling facts.
Ihe first lap Of tho season is over,
the second one starting Saturday
night i'm tho big championship battle
between the a. q. and Fargo college
in The Fargo college gymnasium.
IN tho first lap Fargo college had
the supremacy. lnnt the second half
of tho season remains. in which may
occur many surprises. In the coming
mn arc involved the championship
of North Dakota, South Dakota and
The lnterscholastic and college cham
p%i"nships of Minnesota.
These may appear rather prctcnti-
Gus on tho part of the North Dakota
ms facts substantiatc the claims.
Tho Standing Of tho Teams.
Wahpcton science has practically
been eliminated. North Dakota uni
vcrsity has been defeated 10y every
team i'm the state once. making the
prospects poor for them. The North
Dakota agriculture college has a raw
orahlc fighting chance through their
same with Fargo college SATURDAY.
Fargo college stands undefeated. a,
the present time heading the list OF
prospective champions.
North Dakota University.
The university has defeated only
Wahpet"n science thus far. Among
the teams vanquished by them how
ever arc: st. Olaf, ST. Cloud. Grand
Forks J. NJ. c. a. twice. Huron, $.
ID. and Minnesota university. This is
about the most peculiar record ever
shown by an athletic organization in
the state. They have been defeated
by Carleton, and Luther college, De-
corall, la.
team in North Dakota, except Fargo
college. They have also defeated
1ankton, South Dakota, Huron col
lege, st. Olaf and Carleton.
Fargo College.
The sky-pilots under Coach Wat
kins have a clean record Of victories
i'll eleven successive games. 1t is a
significant act that Fargo college has
not met defeat this year, either in
football or basketball. Outside the
conference Fargo college has defeat
ed Moorhead normal twice, Concordia
twice and the WahpetOn Red men.
Saturdays Game.
The game Saturday night is the kew
to the championship situation Of
North Dakota. If the agricultural col
lege wins, they will probably be tied
with Fargo college. Ii the latter team
wins, they will have the undisputed
title according to percentages. The
dope is practically even on the two
CUNTS. Both have defeated all other
comers. and Fargo college only de-
A. G. gymnasium. Fargo college will
entertain on the home floor his game,
having a slight advantage.
Fargo college has yet to PLAY after
Saturday Wahpeton science, March 4
and the university at Grand Forks,
March. H..
The A. c. meets the university the
following week, March is i'm Fargo,
where the prospects are good for a
home victory.
These university games will give
the U two more chances. although
prospects are somewhat poor
b Interstate situation.
The North Dakota championship
involves much honor this year.
The Yankton championship. The
A. C.. defeated them.
The Minnesota title is more i'll
Eolved in comparative scores. The A.
c. defeated Carleton on tine Carleton
floor. March 4 Carleton aud Hamlinc
play on the same floor for the Mime
sofa college championship. The u. y.
ID. lost to Carleton by . points. If
Carleton wins March T.. q comparison
can be made with the North Dakota
situation.
The title will also include the in
terscholastic championship of Mime
sofa n North Dakota. This is now
Z! held by Moorhead normal, who have
been defeated by the A. C.. and f. C.
Thus it will be seen that Saturdays
game between the two old rivals will
untangle the complication.
Both teams are right on edge, ready
for a fierce battle. each anxious to
bring home the big title for their
school. 1t is understood that specula-
ton on the streets is somewhat in
favor of Fargo college. but there is
no reason why this should be the case.
There is no doubt but that the farm
ers will invade the L. e. gym with a
formidable machine.
Coach Watkins and Coach Wood
are anxious and are putting, the men
through IL hard weeks finishing work,
The game starts Saturday night in
the f. c. gym at S:15.
