LANGDON'S H. S. WINS
FROM GRAND FORKS
Fast Basket Ball Team is Forced to
Take the Count in Spectacular
Game Played Here

The team of basket ball tossers OF
the Langdon high school mat and
defeated the quintette Of players of
the Central high school Of Grand
Forks, in fast and spectacular game
that was staged in the basement
gymnasium of the Langdon city
schools last FRIDAY evening The
game although tie, each team
having scored 10 points at the-close
of the first half, was finally won by
Langdon with tally of 2l to l8.
A significant fact of the victory for
the home players that the
second half Of the game. in which the
tie was broken and the game won by
Langdon, was referred by Coach Frank
Duggan, of Grand Forks. In the first
half the game had been referred by
Prof. H. E. McKeller. coach of the
Langdon team, but who withdrew
when the visitors figured prominently
in demonstrating at several close de.
cisions. Captain John Monnette star
red with three field baskets in the
second half. Phelps, at center, and
Ramage playing left forward, also
got away with some fast playing bas-
ket work that tailed in scoring a
victory for Langdon. In fact, it was
the splendid team work of the home
town five that spilled the beans for
Grand Forks. We understand from
what the players on the visiting team
state, that Grand Forks has had a
disastrous or unlucky season from
the start and despite of the gameness
of the boys in the lineup have been
defeated in every contest in which
they have participated. However,
they are keeping their schedule of
games cleaned up and intend to enter
the state tournament. The visitors,
while here. were extended every hos
pitality which on such occasions as
this fittingly entities Langdon and its
townspeople to the distinction Of be
ing royal entertainers.
