GRAND FORKS
TEAM READY
FOR TITLE GO
Local Basketeers Confident
They Will Win Honors in
District Meet.

With all the confidence necessary
10 win II nearly 500 ardent support
ers backing them with their last dime,
n Grand Forks high school basket
oait team will enter the tournament
tor district title. to be held at the
university tomorrow and Saturday.
For the past two weeks the team has
neen working out daily. in the Y. NJ.
I. A. gymnasium, perfecting a new
set OF signals, practicing floor work,
and spending considerable time get
ting their eyes on the basket, While
nearly all of the workouts have been
behind closed doors, enough has been
seen OF the team in action to convince
one mat they are going better thai
ever and no doubt will make a strong
bid for the title.
Inc greater part of the Grand Forks
team is composed of youngsters who
will enter their first district tourna-
nlent. Harold Boo is practically the
only regular who held down a steady
berth or the teams of the past. This
season he is going like a house a-fire
on n OF the guard positions and is
to. be the best shot on the
team. Ed. Boo, playing at forward, is
a Sounsster who had his first basket
ball experience last season. This year
the younSster has mad a great name
for himself in high school annals and
Will probably be one of the shining
lights in the district tournament, and
possibly in the state, providing the To-
cal quint comes through" like their
supporters expect.
Fighting hard for the center posi-
tons are the two Yoder boys. Both
are long. rangy fellows with plenty OF
speed on the floor n dangerous men
"hen. the bail chances their way. Fred
VIII probably be Coach George Bass
choice to start the tourney, as he is
the ldest of the two and played in the
district tourney last season. His ex-
.p%erience last e should prove a great
asset. to him during the coming session.
The younger fellow will probably be
given a chance to exhibit his wares
before the closing of the meet.
Paul Loushlin will probably start at
one OF the orward positions. Paul is
a younger brother OF the venerable
Lofty" who made a great showing
IN H. past on h Grand Forks high
school team and the North Dakota
University quint. Paul is rapidly fol-
lowing the footsteps of his well known
brother and no doubt will do his snare
in unfolding the honor of the Central
high school. :
fr7tz Trotter, guard, has been play
ing a great defensive game during the
present season. He is a steady. con-
slstent player and can be counted upon
at all times to do his share toward
breaking up the formations Of an OPP
losing team. Mandeth Schuyler and
bon have been playing
their share of the games during the
present season and nave proven to be
good men to fill in WREN a reserve
player is needed. Both men will be
given an opportunity to get in the play
before the tournament closes.
When asked what chances his team
had to CORY off the district title,
Coach Bass replied as follows: The
boys have worked hard since their de-
feat at the hands of the. Grafton crew
and are going at the present time like
they eve went before. With an even
break of luck and no accidents, 1 am
positive. that the district banner will
repose in the Grand Forks high school
for the coming year.
