Bemidji High school basketeers
travelled to Crookston today to take

CATION, in what is expected to be a
hard fought contest, to be staged at

fort to wipe out the defeat suffered
at the hands of 'Bemidji recently,
when the locals won the battle by
count of Is to- IA on the local
Armory floor.
The Bemidji team has developed
considerably since playing Crook
ston and, with the exception of Little
Falls, has cleared away an entire
field OF competition. Week before
last the locals defeated Fosston, the
same team that earlier in the season
won from them by to l count,
and piled up a score of "a against IL
for the visitors.
The local boys have been practic-
ing regularly every afternoon and al
though they took part in no games
last week, they have been working up
some good plays.
It is expected that the contest at
Crookston tonight will be one of the
best put up by the local team, and
to win they must all play in their
strongest form.
