T
Comes to Bemid il Today to
NJ Play High School Basket
Team at Armory
NEVER BEFORE HAVE
THEY MET AS OPPONENTS
No Bearing on District Titles
of Either Quint, Merely
Friendly Visit

Bemidji basketball fans will have
their first oportunity Of ever seeing
a Crookston high school basketball
team in competition when the fast
Polk county quint meets the Bemidji
team on the armory floor tonight in
what will be one of the hardest
fought games of the season.
Far from satisfied with their show
ing against Walker last Saturday,
the Bemidji high school five this
week took stock of its defects as re-
vealed in that game, and in week
of hard practice sessions set out to
prepare to do better against the fast
eCrookston quint tonight.
Though Bemidji won handily from
Walker, there was much to be de-
sired in the style Of game the locals
put up. They were faulty on snots:
It. they had made one out OF four OF
their tries they would have doubled
their score. They lacked drive and
generally failed to "break' properly
after advancing up the floor.
Locals Finish Training"
Coach Smith gave his quintet the
last real workout late yesterday aft
ernoon, preparatory to the Crooks
ton game. Coach Smith and his men
looking for rugged opposition
from the Crookstonites, who were
due to reach BemidU this noon.
The locals are not claiming vic
tory in advance, as their showing in
past games has not been such that
it would tend toward overcontidence'
but the navy blue and white shooters
are agreed that If Crookston is to
win, it must put up real battle:
Coach Jackson's quintet, with four
victories already safe in the "games
won" column, expect to return nome
Sunday with another victory, main
tained at the expense OF Bemidjl.
Interest being at high pitch,
made so by reason of the reported
strength of the visitors and the
doubtful prowess Of the locals to
date.
Bob" Cowan is Dangerous.
The Red River Valley quint have
a peculiar style of play. The center,
Cowarl, instead of following the ball,
camps under his own basket, leaving
his man 20 loose. His opponent then
is the stationery guard, and the re-
pletely out of the play until the ball
is under the Crookston basket. The
difficulty in meeting this play lies
in the fact that when Crookston
comes sweeping up the floor, they
loss the ball to their center under
the basket. This attracts the guard
from the basket, and is some other
Crookston man is fast he can rush
down for unnimpeded shot, the
result being if the play is worked
right that Crookston has 1.-TWO foe
one" If this doesn't work there is
a chance for the center to get free
for shot.
:. The local high school athletic
authorities are providing for record
crowd for the game tonight and extra
seats are being provided to accom-
modate the spectators. Intense rival
nv has always existed between the
two schools in football and the same
will be no different tonight in bas-
ketball

ODDITIES FROM THE
HOUSING SITUATION

In certain cities in New York State
the shortage of homes has reached
such a desperate pass that parents
who have searched in vain for new
quarters are, as a last resort. seeking
to place their children in institutions
and boarding houses. County welfare
authorities have received hundreds Of
requests in recent months to provide
accommodations for the children of
parents who had been given notice
to vacate their homes and failed in
their guests for rentable quarters
These requests. il is stated. have not
ceased since the enactment Of the
laws preventing evictions. The home
Heekers in question are not in need Of
financial aid. Some of them. the
story goes. are in more than comfort
able circumstances but simply have
no place to keep their children.
