were started by the Dickinson boys, but
the customary pep and SNAP were

victory when they meet the Bismarck
team here during the tournament.
Coach Carlson :; in. speaking of the
game, remarked that he. had no fault
to find in.the result Of the game and
the treatment accorded the team while
in Bismarck. that the game was fairly
