DEFEATS MANDAN

DICKINSON DEFEATS MANDAN
In a very one sided game the Man
dan team vas an easy victim of the
local quint last Friday evening. In
the first half Dickinson had every
thing her own way and finished the
half with the long end of a "a to 0
score. Though the Mandan players
had the ball in their territory part of
the time they were unable to land a
basket. They were forced to get
their shots off in quick time, many
the basket for the locals, brought
honors upon himself, landing eleven
ba skets of the seventeen made during
the half. The shooting eye of the
foul tossers, however, was a little out
of focus.
The second half saw a change in
the lineup, Richards replacing But
Ter and ,Rase going in to take Nc
Cutchan's place at guard. Both these
youngsters played a star game.
Buffers floor work was very good;
though mighty small, he was the only
n who could repeatedly get the sig
nails and receive the ball from center.
McCutchan's close guarding did much
in keeping Mandan in the no score
column. For Mandan Sakarissen
took Seitz's place in the last half and
did some of the best guard work for
his team. The visitors came back
stronger this half. They also had
better luck with their basket shoot
ing, being able to land three pretty
ones Their team is an entirely new
aggregation, this being their first
year as regulars. There is some
mighty good material which coupled
with good coaching, should eventually
give Mandan a winning combination.
Hanson, the center, is a good man.
In the second half he showed to best
advantage, getting the ball most of
the time at the tip off and scoring two
of the three baskets made by his side.
l.. R. Baird officiated in a very eff
ficient manner, giving satisfaction to
both teams.
The locals meet the fast Bismarck
team this (Friday) evening at Bis

WANT n, D, u, GLEE
CLUB TO COME HERE

An effort is being made to bring
the University Glee Club to our city
for the evening of February 18th.
The club gave a fine concert here last
year and want to show that they are
even better this year than last. Pro-
lessor W. w. Norton has had a much
larger club to work with this year,
than ever before. There are forty
men trying out for places. The
Freshmen class has a wealth of ma
terial, which, together with the other
new men and the fourteen old men,
will make keen competition for the
sixteen places on the club. AS only
the best 60, the outlook for the best
club the University has had in years
has never been better.
The tenor section, which for years
has been a worry to the director, is
now one of the strongest on the club.
At least two instrumental soloists will
accompany the club this year in adj
dition to the pianoist. Another
marked improvement is in the comedy
put forth. In place of the famous
Student Room Scene," which the
club has made so much of for years,
there will be fun making throughout
the program Of a nature that will
amuse all and bring many a laugh
when it is least expected.
"A subscription list for tickets is be-
ing circulated. II a satisfactory num-
Der sign, the attraction will be Sc
cured. This plan is to do away with
a group of the business men backing
the entertainment. Though the list
was not circulated until Wednesday a
goodly number have already signed
and the coming of the club is almost
assured.

know now that this notion was ut
