BRAINERD HIGH MEETS
LOCALS HERE TOMORROW
Bemidji Basketeers Must Win
to Stay in Race for Third
District Champions

The basket ball court at the old
armory has been humming with ac-
tivity during the past week. Imme-
diately after the St. Cloud game last
Friday Coach Smith Of the Bemidji
team began molding his mach inc into
tip-top condition in preparation for
the return game with the Brain
erd high school quint tomorrow
night at the old armory.
The Brainerd team although hope
lessly out of the race, will battle
desperately to tumble the Bemidji
quint from the top Of the district
which it shares with st. Cloud, and
as Coach Oprahl's quint is of no
mean ability the game is certain to
be exciting and close.
Coach Smiths basketeers are rae
ing neck and neck with St. Cloud
for first place and will undoubtedly
tax themselves to the limit to tri-
| umph over the Railroad City" five.
| st. Cloud still has game to play at
Brainerd and should Coach Opdahl's
men slip over victory against the
Saints and Bemidji make it two
straight for the invaders, it would

game being necessary with Coach
Schropp's quint.
1t is evident that Bemidji has a
splendid chance to carry off first hon.
, ors in the district this season. The
tive-man defense which has been one
j Of the outstanding features of the
Bemidji teams work, this season is
being rapidly developed. and the fast
playing Of the Smith quint as unit
is expected to offset the fact that
Brainerd has practically a veteran
lineup.
All in. all the teams are we'll
| matched and ancient rivals, and the
game Is certain to prove thriller
from start to finish and it is ex-
pected that a large number of fans
from Brainerd will Journey to Be-
midpi to root for their favorites.
The local school girls team will
clash with the Bagley girls before
the Brainerd1 Bemidji game. This
! contest will be called at 1880, and in

VISITORS MEET
SEC0NDDEFEAT
Bemidji City Team Wins Over
Visitors in Second Game
With FL to IS

Going into the second game of the
two-game series with the same "pep''
and speed as was shown in the Tues
day night game, the Bemidji City
team defeated the Excelsior basket
ball quint for the second time at the
Armory last night by a count Of FL
to 10.
Although the visitors had not lost
a game this season, prior to coming
to Bemidji, the locals clearly out
classed the Excelsior team in passing
and floor work last night, despite the
fact that the count in the first game
was barely in Bemidji's favor.
Bemidji took the lead at the start
with field basket and Excelsior soop
tied the score. The locals again took
the lead on a free throw and from
then on held at least two points ahead
The score at the end of the first half
was z to 3 in favor of the locals, and
when the second half opened, the To-
Gals were on their toes and netted
again. Bemidji continued to lead.
Phibbs, Plummer and Cameron
scored the field goals for Bemidji,
while Christnak, R. Louden and W..
Louden did the counting for the WIS.,
itors. The locals scored five points
on free throws and the Excelsior
quint only one.
Plummer and Phibbs played up to
the standard set in the first game at
the forward position, while Cameron
and G. Graham showed splendid work
in breaking up Excelsior's plays,
Cameron coming in for two field
goals in addition. Simons, at center,
was in the game every minute, al
though attempts to score fell short.
: From here the Excelsior team will

for two-game series there tonight
and tomorrow night. On the smaller

The lineup for both teams last
night was the same as the night be-

being substituted for Gillespie, who
was taken out of the game in the last
half on four personal fouls.

SENATE OPPOSITION TO
HOOVER SEEMS UNLIKELY
Traditional Custom of Letting
President Pick Own Cabinet
- Silences Opposition
(BY United PreSsl

Washington, Feb. 24.-Serious OPP
position in the senate to the con-
firmation of the selection Of Herbert
Hoover by President-elect Harding
for his cabinet appeared unlikely to-
day.
This does not mean that Hoover's
political enemies in the senate have
changed their feelings toward him
but only that the traditional CUSTOM
of letting the president pick his own
Official family will silence the oppo-
sition.
There are other proposed cabinet
members and lesser appointees equal
ly as unsatisfactory to some senators
as would be the appointment of Hoov-
err. In fact nearly all selections
would meet with some opposition~ff
it were not for the same tradition.

INTEREST Shown
IN INSTITUTES
Total Attendance at Ten Daily
Sessions Was $50; Puposky
Shows Much Interest

The series of five daily farmers in
stitutes held at as many points in the
county last week was pronounced
success, both as to attendance and in
TERESA shown. The total attendance
at the ten sessions held was $50, OF
an average attendance of Sc. Pu-
posky is entitled to top place with
an average attendance per session of
IS. while Bemidji would win the con-
ISOLATION prize with an average at
tendance of rs.
The speakers of the Institutes were
L. H. Bugbee, successful dairyman
from Carlton county, and C. W.
Smith, popularity known as Potato"
Smith, of Parkers Prairie. Mr.. Bug
bee spoke on dairy topics and the
farm bureau. He outlined clearly
the value of purebred sire, pointing
out that if purebred sire transmits
his color markings, he will also trans
nit other and more important char
acteristics of his ancestors. He cx-
planned the points to be considered in
selecting herd sire. His talk on
calf feeding was clear and timely. He
emphasized the fact that calfhood is
the critical period, and that special
care and feed should be given at that
period in order to ensure the best de-
velopment for later usefulness.
Mr.. Bugbee made a plea for more
extensive appreciation Of food value
Of milk and milk products, emphasiz-
ing the value Of food elements known
as vitamines found to be essential to
normal development of children,
which are present in milk and milk
products but lacking in the various
margarines and butter substitutes.
Support of the farm bureau not only
in the county but in the state and ma
tional federation was urged.
Both speakers pointed out the
splendid, work being done by the
state and national fcdcratinns in call
ing attention Of the legislature and
congress to the needs of the farmers,
and securing definite results. They
also emphasized the fact that the To-
cal and county organization must be
strong and active in order that the
declarations might have strength. E..
w. Smith or "Potato Smith" en-
phasized the value of seed potat o
plots as saving much time and labor
in the improvement of the potatoes
and increasing yield. He discussed
the various potato diseases telling
how they can be identified and how
prevented by proper treatment. His
talk on potato culture brought out
some excellent ideas on. preparation
of the ground, planting and cultiva-
ton. He showed how deep cultiva-
ton and killing, late in season, may
cut off from one-fourth to one-third
