SCIENCE. WINS
FROM BLLENDALB
In q somewhat Llstless Game but
tho Science Pulled Through
with a
FINAL SCORE OF 26 TO 81
And q Large Crowd Was Present
and tho Band Rendered Sew.
oral Selections

The Science basketball team
Won in a hard earned victory over
Glendale at the S. s. S. gymnas-
ium Tuesday evening by winning
out 26 to 21. Something seemed
the matter with the Science team
anC) the boys just simply couldn't
get going in their usual style, but
at times showed their old tina
form by smothering their oppon-
ents with rapid passing and team
work.
Sewrey made the first basket OF
the game and his work throughout
brought cheer after cheer from
the rooters present, who with
teir fog horn voices made the old
hall fairly ring at times. Anderson
at center put up a dandy good
game and his rapid work and
strength kept his opponenes guess
ing at all stages.
In the first part Of the game
Ellenale started out like a winner
making the score stand & to 2 and
then Science started creeping up
behind them, and passed them be-
fore the first half was over and
the score stood IL to 9 at the end
the first period of play.
The second half saw Science al
ways in the lead and although Ell
lendale got within a few points Of
Science sh enever crowded the
boys too hard for comfort. Two
strings hanging from the ceiling
near the north end basket caused
the Glendale team to put in pro
test, saying that it bothered their
shooting and time was called, un-
til their wishes were satisfied, but
we guess something else must
have been wrong.
The final half ended with the
score 26:.to 2t and again Science
has proven that she is superior to
any school in her class, although
defeats have been sustained, they
were with schools far out of their
class. and even at that they made
them go some.
After the game tiancing by the
students was INDUCED i'll until
shortly after eleven when they
dispersed for the evening after
having an enjoyable time.
Besides the game one of the en-
joyable features is the Science
band and it's exhilirating music
is enjoyed by all attending these
games, besides putting the proper
fighting spirit into the home play

MUTUAL CONCERN
BEING LAUNCHED

Organization of mutual in
surance company for the news
papers of North Dakota, proposed
by E. M. Crary of this city at the
recent meeting of the North Da-
kota Press Association, when that
body met in Grand Forks, will be
cnmsumInated by the special COM
mittee Of the association if suffi-
cicnt business is pledged to make
the movement successful.
Mr.. Crazy, in a letter to all pub
fishers of the state, outlines the
plan. In ort,er to get charter, the
company must have at least 5000.
900 in business pledged, and the
pledges are now being obtained.
Only $4,000 will be taken on each
plant in the state, that being the
maximum.
There already are several mu-
tual concerns in operation in the
state, these including the hard
ware dealers, implement dealers.
lumber dealers, laundry men, etc.
II is suggested by the press as
sociation that the formation Of
the association will bring a big
saving in insurance rates to the
publishers.
Members of the committee en-
gagedt in the task of organizing
the company are Crary Of Devils
Lake, Forkner Of LangcDn. Rich
ter Of Larimore, Lee of Antler and

OF such an instrument will vibrate

upon. In this case. after the explosive
had become thoroughly dry upon the
strings, another bass viol was brought
near and the strings sounded. At a
certain note the iodide of nitrogen on

was found that the explosion occurred
only when rate of vibration of sixty
a second was communicated to tho
prepared strings. Vibration Of the G
