William H. Anderson, State super

was handed to newspapermen, said
that he wanted all the world to

BASKETBALL BEGINS
EARLY NEXT TERM

The winter term ushers in the bas-
ketball season. Plans are being made
for games to be played next term, al
though a schedule has not definitely
been made out. Saturday Mr.. Spalding
left for Fargo to attend an Interstate
Athletic Conference of which he is the
secretary. At that meeting the bas-
: ketball schedule will be decided upon.
1t is hoped that games with the fol-
+ lowing schools can be arranged: Aber-
.deen Normal, Fargo College, James
. town College, Concordia College, Wah-
peton Science School and the Glendale
Normal and Industrial School.
It may be possible to arrange for a
game with the Mayville Normal
School If so, this game should prove
interesting to every student of this
school because it will be the first time
v. c. N. has ever played the Mayville
Normal. It was thought that a game
might be played with the. Dickinson
Normal School. Inquiry develops the
fact that Dickinson will not have a
team this year.
The first team has not been selected.
The following men are reaspirants:
Personals, Story, Anderson. Swanson,
Gunderson and Maresh. All of these
men played on the team last year and
will be in school again during the win
ter quarter. L. H.
