This puts bismarck out of the hnal
games, which will be played tonight
at the University gymnasium. IN the

The Bismarck boys played a good

play to the limit This makes the
second time that Tower City has
nosed out a victory in the extra peri
cd. Their defeat of Fargo in the dis
trict tournament played two weeks

score of that game VS. II to 10.
Hope Minot Will Win.
Loci fans are hoping that Minot
will eliminate Tower City in the finals

part of the state the title for th1s
year. Last year Fargo was returned
the final victors.
The Bismarck team has defeated
Minot two games this year, the re-
suit of the game at Minot being ~

a better game of basketball than when
they were in this city and their chanc-
are exceedingly good.
Wireless Report.
The first report of the game was
secured at about 9 o'clock. through
wireless message to Granville Grambs
from the state university. The local

REGARDING the Protest.
I'm recent issue of the Tribune
statement was made that it was gen
orally understood in this city that the
protest lodged against Houser was IN
stigated by Valley City. There was
no intent at mud-slinging. the basis
for the statement was contained IN a
letter written by the Tower City Ath-
letic association to Supt. p. S. Ierg,
Dresident of the league. In a recent
interview with Supt. Hanna, it ap-
pears that the prot est did not em-
anate from the Valley City school au-

little farm house: hers, one Of Cleve-
lands handsomest residences. His
associates, outside of school, were
mostly farm hands and country boys;
hers We're talented folk of affairs
drawn to her fathers handsome home.
for her father then was a member OF
the Ohio Legislature, a philosophical
citizen interested in philanthropies
and man of many activities. Not
withstanding other differences, the
awkward youth and the city girl had
in common love Of study and simple
tastes, and they BECAME fast friends.
Quiet Studious Girl.
Laura Spelman's 5 school-mates knew
her as quiet, studious girl who would
rather read good book than 60 to
the theater; as devOut church-goer
and as a girl who was always well
dressed in good taste, avoiding ex-
tremes and seeking simplicity. She
was intensely practical and home-lov-
ing. At high school she caused some
surprise by taking not only the pre-
scribed course but bookkeeping and
other comemrcial studies little pur-
sued by young women in those days.
There seems to have been little SEN
timentality in the friendship between
Miss Spelman and young Rockefeller,
but for ten years each was the others
best friend. During the days of Rock
efeller's early manhood, when he saw
his hopes of a college education fade
away, and soon thereafter when he
tramped the streets of Cleveland for
weeks in a seemingly hopeless search
for work, she encouraged and cheered
him. Soon after he had established
himself in. his first place---as book
keeper at $500 a year--she left Cleve-
land to complete her education at
Worcester, Mass. She returned when
she was 20 years old and taught in
Cleveland's public schools. Her first
class was the "a" grammar grade IN
