Hope Loses to Fargo at
lSt District Tournament
Local High School Lads Go Down to Glorious Defeat
Before Lucky Opponents-Win from Page in Pre-
iminaries---Josyn and Brewster Placed on
All-District Five

nope lOSt at the district tOurna-
ment held at Fargo last week end,
but not until they had proven their
worth as a basket ball team. In the
first series of games the locals drew
Page, from whom they had no diff
ficulty in winning by score of 40
to 8. 1t is reported that this was
one of the most laughable games
played this year as the H. H. S.,
knowing that they would have no
trouble in defeating our neighboring
town on the south, were given orders
to play their worst-and they did.
The whole squad saw action in this
game, the first string men being
saved for the. harder tilts.
After winning from Page the semi
final was played against Fargo, who
had won from Casselton the day be-
fore by one point. The details of the
game given below were taken from
the Fargo papers and give a true ac-
count of the battle. However, we
wish to add a few side-lights on this
bout.
The game started with classy play
ing on both sides, the first two points
being made by Fargo on free throws.
Hope followed shortly with two field
baskets which put them in the lead
"a position which they held big
majority of the time. Joslyn and
Brewster both drew two personal
fouls during the first period and had
, to go little more carefully in the
last round.
The second half started with Hope
still having the best of the argument
and with about seven minutes left to
play were ahead seven points. But
Fargo was not to be defeated until
the final whistle, and true to tradi-
tion, looped in three lucky shots be-
fore the final signal, which combined
with other points gave them a one
point win. Fargo won their previous
game with Casselton in the same
manner. -" ..> ...s s. II
While we do not wish to discredit
Fargo's win, we do not believe they
have an all-round team as that of
which H. H. S! boasts. Our position
is substantiated by another article
clipped from Fargo paper which
places two of the Hope team, Joslyn
and Brewster, on the all-district five.
and two others, Mccullough and
Plaine, honorable mention.
But Hope lost and will now have
to look forward to the coming year
to bring them championship. This
year will witness the graduation Of
two of the old stand-bys of the team,
Joslyn and Reynolds, who have made
good in their respective positions,
and whose work will be missed in
the teams to be developed in the
future. Yet all is not gloom in the
H. H. S. camp as four of the squad
that made the trip this year will be
eligible for at least one more season.
Brewster, Plaine, Mccullough. and
Bjorklund. With such large nucle-
us to build upon much may be ex.
pected for the 1921-1922 season.
The following men made the Far
go trip: Brewster, Bjorklund, Bis
sell, Joslyn, Plaine, and Capt. Rey-
nolds, players, Bland and Trammell,
coaches, and Prof. Schwalje.

MONEY AND SCHOOL HOUSES

Claxton says thah money expen-
ded for education is an investment,
not an expense. School boards who
plan on putting up new buildings
this summer should remember that
they are building for years to come.
Generations of children will receive
their education at those school
houses.
Last year there were 203 enrolled
in the Sth grade in our schools. OF
these So completed the 9Th grade.

The Fargo-Hope Game

Fargo high school eliminated Hope
IN the first contest yesterday FORE
noon in heart breaking contest,
which was much a repetition of the
iFargo-Casselton game of the previ-
GUS day. Two free throws were made
by Rudd of the Fargo team. before
Hone started to score. Hope follow
ed with two field goals, putting them
In the lead. Fargo soon evened on
splendid play by Rudd and clever
Edrfbbling run down the floor by Bur-
nett. Long shots by Joslyn and clev-
er under-the-basket shots by Brews-
ter put Hope in the lead again and
Fargo fought an uphill battle. The
first half ended with the score Is to
10 for Hope.
Fargo scored first in the second
half on basket by Rudd but Hope
soon evened. Hope started another
scoring squirt and soon gained an
eight point lead. With seven min
utes left to play Fargo started a
desperate rally Four splendid
throws by Berdahl, three of them
at long distance range, together
with basket by Tweeden, evened
the count. With two minutes left to
play Hope was given free throw
but Brewster failed. A half minute
later Berdahl was given free chance
to score for Fargo and his throw
went true. On the next play Fargo
took the ball near the Hope basket.
Hope ran back on a five-man defense
and made no effort to break up the
passing of the Fargo team which was
not yet past the middle of the floor.
Seeing that his opponents made no
effort to break after the ball, Cap
tain Berdahl. Of Fargo, placed the
ball under his right arm and stood
still with it.. Hope finally came to
life but the inaction cost them the
game as the whistle blew, 10 Sec
onds later with the ball under Far
go's basket. - ..

It is estimated that the extensive

The completed work consists Of
Q splendid job, well executed With

while o large sum Of money Ia NOT
an unreasonable amount consider.
ing the work done and the material
used. ~
Quite a lot Of loose plasterine
had to be replaced and small iobs
of carpentering developed as the
work progressed. Those who did
not visit the hospital preceding the
mprovernents Of this summer can
IIAru!y reAI41e the wonderful change
In appearances which the fresh
paint and other work have made.
Naturally 1t has been difficult to
carry on the real work Of the insti.
tuition while these repairs were un.
der way. Numbers Of rooms would
be out of use for days at a time,
causing the greatest inconvenience
because Of restricting the capacity
Of the hospital for patients. Pa.
Hents who remained for a lengthy
period were switched from room to
room as the work went along.
The odor Of the paint also was
most disagreeable at times, but
patients were very forbearing and
made little complaint, while the
nursing staff were ali so glad to
see the great improvement wrought
that they gladly put up with the
temporary Inconvenience. It 10
planned to take up the payment for
the work in monthly installments
Of $500. By this method 1t is hoped
to complete the payments without
asking public assistance.
