Nlinot Could Not Stop
Progress Of Champs

A record breaking audience was in
attendance at the Armory Friday eve
ning to show the Valley High basket
bali quintet that the city is behind
ghem in their fight for championship
konors. AS a result they put up
game that kept the fans in culver OF
excitement from start to finish.
The final score of Sc to 10 does not
give fair story of the game, for the
scoring progressed by surges that
placed the Minot fighters right along
side the local boys couple of times,
adding to the zest of the contest.
The local team was working togeth-
er better than at any time this season
and as result had the ball in their
possession three-fourths of the time.
'The local teams quick passing and
their game of "keep-away' wore the
Minot boys out and it was necessary
three times during the game for them
60 call time out to recover their wind.
Due to the excellent guarding of An
hnson and Stenshoel the Minot boys
were compelled to make most of their
shots from a distance, while Nelson,
Bowen and Cook time after time
would slip under the basket for
count Due to the fact that the boys
have not been able to practice in the
Armory, their basket shooting is not
what it should be.
Leal played true to DOPE and rOmp.
ed on the Reserves to the tune of 20
10 IS. Leal has team of real players
far above the average of town of that
size. Their basket shooting was es-
pecially in evidence. 1t is predicted
chat Leal will show up big in the coun-
ey tournament to be held here March
2 and 8.
Next Friday night Tower City will
come here. While the Tower boys are
putting up a good game at home it
is not considered that they will be
dangerous. At that they will furnish
a brand of ball that will be we'll worth
seeing. They defeated Mandan Friday
night, Valley City being the only vic
DOR over them so far.
The last Friday evening of the
month brings the Jamestown aggrega-
tion here. With one victory to their
credit and the ancient rivalry of the
two towns squirting them on, they will
be the most dangerous opponents Val
ley High will meet this year. 1t will
be 100 to shot that the Armory that
night will be crowded to the doors. In
addition to the rivalry in basketball.
old timers will recall when baseball
teams going to Jamestown had to
fight their way back to the depot.
They'll all be on hand to see the
younger generation give Jamestown
~theirs" in the basketball line
Reports from the city on the Jim are
that they are coming in special train
with a crowd of rooters who will have
everything in the way of noise making
paraphernalia to stimulate the team to
its best efforts. 1t sure will look like
old days again.

that will run off for the various types
and conditions Of soils. For instance,
the difference in the rates Of percola-
ton for clay and sandy soils is very
marked, the latter permitting a much
higher rate than the former. This is
due to the ineness Of the particles and
the compact structure of the clay soils
as compared with the open, porous
structure and coarse particles Of the
sandy soils. The open structure of a
soil facilitates the entrance and rapid
circulation Of both dir and water, since
resistance to flow varies inversely as
the size Of the individual pore spaces
After a long dry period the pores in
the upper layers Of a soil become filled
| with air which, until it is expelled,
tends to retard the entrance of soil wa
ter. A deeply plowed soil will absorb
a greater percentage of rainfall than
n where shallow blowing is prac-
ticed, and the greater the amount of
humus In a soil the greater will be it's
capacity to absorb water. The rate
of absorption after the top soil is sat-
urated with water depends upon the
permeability of the subsoil. A close,
impervious subsoil checks the rate of
percolation and thereby increases the
run-off at the surface.
The water capacity Of the top foot
Of farm land in good filth has been
stated to be 4 or 5 inches; thus a soil II
inches deep could absorb this amount
Of rainfall provided the rain is sup
piled to the surface at the same rate
at which the soil is capable of receiv-
ing it. If the former rate is greater
than the latter, the excess water runs
off owe the land surface with a We
locity depending upon the slope. The
sleeper the slope the more rapid the
run-off, and correspondingly less would
be the time allowed for the absorption
Of water by the soil. Hence, the steep
er the slope the greater will be the per-
centage of the rainfall flowing off.
Reduce Height Of Terrace.
Were it not for the fact that the
terraces would need to be placed very
close together on steep slopes, thus
ne%cessitating q greater number of ter
races, 1t would be we'll to reduce the
height Of the terrace as the slope of
the land increases. This would OBJ
viate the difficulty encountered in the
construction Of large terrace embank-
ments on steep slopes.
In the field Investigations many ter
races with closed ends were found.
Some followed contours completely
around a knoll or hilltop, forming a
closed circuit with no outlet. But most
of the level terraces examined had out
let's at either, n or both ends. In
the foregoing discussion the terrace
was taken as III feet high; with
closed ends it would overflow for a
rainfall in excess of 8 inches in 48
hours. However, If one or both ends
Of a terrace be left open a liberal fac
tor Of safety against overlooking is
provided. To provide a factor of safe
ty for terraces with closed ends it is
recommended that they be made about
! liz feet high.
