foul being called on them during the
game. Their forwards, Otte and Pot
ter, we'll guarded, made three and two
field goals respectively. Rohs, at CEN
ter, is a good player, securing every
tip off. He failed to keep track OF
his man and was inclined to quit with
the score against him. The guards,
Ostering and Watson, playing the Bis.
marck forwards hard, failed to score

The entire Bismarck team played a
fine game. Their passing and basket
shooting was the best they have dis
played this year. Their floor work is
too aggressive and they were penaliz-
ed often for personal fouls. The boys
are working hard to eliminate this
fault and much improvement will be
noticed before the district tournament.
Watkins, at center, during the sec
ond half, without any guarding, scor-
ed at will. His total for 20 minutes
was Is field baskets. keenan,, Couch
and Patten, at forward, passed we'll
and made some fine lonG shots, The
majority OF the scoring, however, was
at close range. Cook, Spengler and
Yegen, guarding their nl<n we'll, man.
aged to get into the scoring column.
Kilmers was the only substitute who
failed to get into the game.
The crowd was fair one c0nsid-
ering the weather and the attraction
at the Auditorium. The interest in
basketball is increasing and the at.
tendance at the game on Friday night,
Jan. 10, for the Dickinson game should
tax the local gymnasium. However,
with the new bleachers which were
built earlier in the year by the boys
of the manual training department.
the seating capacity has been much
enlarged. s. ..
The Dickinson team has always
been a strong contender and this year
will prove no exception. Their re-
cent defeat of Mandan at Mandan is
ample proof. This team will take part
in the district tournament which will
be held in Mandan on March 2 and 3.
The Camp Fire girls held a candy
sale, before the game, disposing Of
their wares in short order. The prof
It's from the sale will 60 to their
treasury. They promise fresh and
larger supply Of home made candy for
the Dickinson game. ,...
