the quartet in Kentucky Babe"

Minot High School Praises
Valley City Highs Quintet

The principle of fair play in sport
is great thing. 1t should not only
be governing principle of all sport,
but one of the very aims of sport
itself, an end toward which sport is
mere means. This is not always
the basis on which sport is conducted,
however. A faint of selfshness and
dishonesty oftentimes affects teams
and their adherents. This leads to
questionable methods of play and man
agement or support from the side
lines and to the desire to augment the
disgrace of the opponents defeat and
minimize the honor of his victory.
1t has appeared in these columns be.
fore that the High school basket ball
squad are credit to their school be-
cause of the character and habits of
each member of the team not less
than for the victories won. These
qualities as applied to sport mean no
man on the squad uses questionable
tactics; it never has been limited that
any member of the team plays "dirty.'
The team as whole prides itself on
clean play and fair deal everywhere.
When they were defeated by Minot in
the recent state tournament, the en-
tire school voted to join the team in
a telegram of congratulations to Minot.
Below is Minot's answer to that tele-
gram. 1t is beautifully worded, but
the thought is far richer than the
elegant phraseology:
My dear Mr.. Brown:
A telegram which came to us from
your school and basket ball team yes
terday has filled the loving cup which
rewarded our victory, full to the brim
with the last drop of pleasure which
our newly-won Donors have brought
US. We thank you heartily, indeed,
for your interest. The contest with
you was at all times a pleasant rival
ry and we hope we are carrying our
victory modestly and becomingly,
but it remained for you to do the
generous, sportsmanlike, kingly thing
which is more than any success.
Our team learned a lot of basket
ball, they tell me, in their game with
you. We are all learning one more
finer thing from your telegram Of
good wishes and that is how to make
a defeat an honor and credit to a
school. Thank you, one and all. If
the time comes when such a message
is sent to you, and the Minot High
school signs the paper, there will be
a depth of sincerity in our good wishes
which began yesterday in your cour-
tesy to us. Very cordially yours,
RUBY G. PHILLIPS,
For the pupils and faculty of the Minot
High school.

Funston Wants More
Soldiers for Mexico

San Antonio, Tex, March 21.-Gen-
eral Frederick Funston asked the war
department today for more troops to
send into Mexico, only after long con.
sideration of the advisability of con-
tinuing the operation against Fran
cisco Villa with the forces now COM
handed by General Pershing.
General Pershing yesterday suggest
ed that another regiment be sent to
him and today Funston asked the de-
partment for what he characterized
as an adequate force.
1t was announced at General Fun
ston's headquarters that the fifth cav
airy Of which one squadron is at Fort
Meyer, Va, another at Fort Leaven.
worth, 'Kas., and the third at Fort
Sheridan, ILL.,, would be brought to the
border at once and sent forward along
General Pershing's line of communi-
cation to Casas Grandes. Whether he
had asked for more troops General
Funston would not say.
The only reason given for strength
ening General Pershings force, known
by the public generally to be consid-
cred more than 1000, was that his
field of operation had become so ex-
teneded that his main line of commu.
nication and the subsidiary lines were
much weaker than they should be.
Merely a precautionary move was
the way General Funston answered
all suggestions as to his motives other
than that it was desired to strengthen
the lines. He was asked If the re-
ported movement of troops of the de
facto government of the garrison in
the interior to posts on the border,
and the failure of Carranza's troops
in one or two instances to show active
| cooperation in the pursuit of Villa
had anything to do with his decision
! to ask for more strength, but he de-
clined to answer.
Some little uneasiness was displayed
at headquarters when it was reported
that the telegraph wires between
Casas Grandes and the border had
been cut, but an official report stat
ing that the line cut was "buzzer"
line General Pershing had laid and
that it had been broken accidentally
by some of the Americans, allayed ap-
prehension.
1t is not believed here that General
Funston is worried to any extent by
reports of growing antagonism among
Carranza troops although he is care
fully studying reports, official and
unofficial on that phase of the situa-
ton.
The chase for Villa has assumed the
proportions of campaign and it was
pointed out that if it became neces-
sary to extend operations much more
it might be necessary to move into
the field almost all the remaining
available forces of the regular army.
That statement eliminates some 10000
men now in the southern department.,
the greater part on duty in Texas,
New Mexico and Arizona, along the
octn sol f06o "
he could not we'll spare any of those
for the operations in Mexico because
it was equally necessary to guard the
border.
