Valley City 36. Kenmare 21.
In two sensational games OF basket
ball. played in the University of North
Dakota gymnasium last evening,
Michigan City and Valley City became
eligible to enter the finals tonight to
decide in the inter-scholastic cham
pionship Of North Dakora.
Playing their best game of the sea-
son, the Michigan athletes had little
trouble in wading through the Dick
inson defense for repeated tallies.
Churchill was the sensation Of the
evening, repeatedly tossing nets from
all angles and completely outplaying
every guard that was sent against
him. He dropped seven goals besides
being the leader in every play. II
his work tonight is Of the same order
as that displayed last night, he will be
the first man picked for an all-state
scholastic five. Kallestad at center
also played a great game. and togeth-
er with Fowler, completed an often
sf4e that was too much for Dickinson.
Lewis who failed to make credit
able showing in the district tourna-
ment, came back strong last evening
and scintillated for the defense. He
repeatedly broke up plays and forced
the ball back under Dickinson's bas-
ket. Fowler was followed by a jinx.
and although he worked we'll on the
floor. he made but ono basket out Of
score or more attempts. Swanston
at. guard was an important factor in
the team work, until the latter part Of
the' final period, when he commenced
fumt!ing and apparently tagged out,
and@was unable to keep UP the pace.
McCutcheon did the best work for
Dickinson and Tailed the most points.
He Is an aggressive player, but was
Kept closely guarded. Richards also
played strong game for the losers
Last Game Fast.
For the final game OF the evening
Valley City and Kenmnre staged a
contest that was a thriller through
out: Kenmare led off in the first
period and for nearly ten minutes
threatened to swamp the southeast
erners. AS the first half began to
wane. valley City opened up with a
and from then on the westerners were
on the defense. Bowen and Nelson
at forwards showed remarkable skill
In snappy passing, and for cool-head-
Cd work were the pick of the evening.
Both men are accurate basket shoot
ers and tossed nets from all angles,
and while going at top speed. Cook,
valley City's center, promises to fig
ure prominently in the run for an all
state position. He and Anfinson at
guards were great men for the de-
Tense.
Two Games Tonight.
Two contests will be staged this
evening, the first beginning at 1880
o'clock sharp, when the university
champion team will clash with a
picked aggregation from the ranks of
the campus leaguers. This game
promises to be fast, but no accurate
preoictiSn can be made as to the out
come.
The second game will begin at $3.50
o'clock. when the inter-scholastic
championship Of North Dakota Will
be finally settled. Michigan CITY and
Valley City. credited as being the two
