MayvilIe. N. D., Feb. 2,-The basket
ball team is off on an extended trip
this week. playing Concordia at Moor
head on Monday evening, Valley City
normal at Valley City on Tuesday. and
jamestown college at jamestown on
Wednesday, They will return on Thurs
day morning. Last Friday evening the
team played the local high school, de-
feating them by a large score. This
high school are just beginning the
game this season and have had even
less experience in the game than the
normal boys. The normal team this
year Is not strong, although there is
one strong old player among the mem
bers. The most of the boys are new at
the game and are playing good ball
considering their experience. However,
they cannot stand against an aggrega-
ton like Concordia, whose team is com
posed of men who are older, stronger
and who have played together for
years.
The concert by Bohumir Kryl Co,
consisting of Bohumir Kryl and his two
daughters, was musical treat That
so much music could be produced on
the cornet was a revelation to his audi
ence, although they were accustomed
to hearing good cornetists. And the
daughters almost made the violin and
the piano speak, so excellent was their
playing. These musicians were listened
to by considerably the largest audience
time In MayVille, the house being filled
to it's capacity, and each listener felt
that the reputation of Mr.. Kryl per-
haps does not do him justice, SO well
pleased were they.
