Will Have no Bearing ON
District Title; Visitors

GAME WILL FIRST IN
ANNALS OF SCHOOLS
Coach Smith Expects Interest
ing Contest; Locals in
Good Trim

Friday night will be one big night
for local basketball fans when the
fast Crookston high school Quint will
meet the Bemidji high school team
on the armory floor. Although the
game will have no bearing on the
district title, on account of the teams
being in different basketball dis
tricts the game will be a hard fought
battle from start to finish for both
schools have always been keen ath-
letic rivals, especially in football. 1t
will be the first time the two cities
have met in basketball in the history
of the two schools and it will go
without saying that both will be out
to win the first game. Coach Jack
son has a team of veterans and from
the way they have cleaned up on all
the teams they have met to date it
appears that the Polk county quint
is about the choicest team in the Red
River Valley.
Football Stars On Team.
Coach Jacksons' quint is composed
entirely Of gridion stars. The foot
ball stars on the team are Bob
Cowan, Flood, Weber, Miller and
Christensen. COwan will be remem-
bered as the speedy boy who scored
both touchdowns against the locals
this fall, one touchdown on the first
kickoff and the second by recovering
a fumbled punt and then sprinting
SIS yards for their second and last
touchdown. Flood and Weber, who
play the forwards, are considered two
of the fastest men ever turned out by
that school.
1t will be one fast game and will
be an evening we'll spent for anyone
who enjoys this sport and for those
who have never seen a game it will
be fine way to start out, with two
teams like these competing.
Locals Working Hard.
The Bemidji five was given stren-
uous workout yesterday by Coach
Smith, two hours being consumed In
drilling the quint in basket shooting
and passing the ball. The guards
were also instructed in the defensive
branch Of the game.
The Crookston quint is the "dark
horse in it's district so far. 1t has
played four games and won all by a
large score. No team in this district
has been met by the fast Crookston
quint so the betting on the game
will be even. All the dope so far
from the western camp indicates the
strongest five in its history.
