nope HIGH. LOOKS. STRONG
N FIRST DISTRICT MEET
PLAY OPENS FRIDAY AFTERNOON
TEAMS EXPECTED TO AR
RIVE THURSDAY

(By ]. A. Purcell, in Fargo Forum)
Doping the First District basketball
tournament, which is to be held Fri
day and Saturday at the A. G. under
the direction Of Stanley E. .Borleske,
has become complicated as the result
Of the high. school cage play the last
week.
Fargo has been considered to be a
sure winner with Casselton and
Wahpeton looming up as the strong
est opponents. Last week the Hope
high school team sprang the surprise
of the season and defeated Casselton
by an overwhelming score. Fargo had
a hard job in winning from Casselton
but the Hope quint romped away
with 42 to % victory.
The Hope quint has played steady,
but not spectacular, basket ball
throughout the entire season and has
developed a speedy offense and sure
defense that promises to be out
standing in the district meet. The
Fargo team is going at its best at the
present time, but will have to play
real basket ball in order to enter the
state tournament.
Drawing Friday Morning
Representatives from each of the
eight teams entered in the tourna-
mont will ~, oo< "a. n Er3do,, -, o.,,;,c
in Mr.. Borleske's Office at the A. c.

be played Friday afternoon. Two pre-
liminary contests will also be played
Friday night. The semifnals will be
played Saturday morning and the

night as a preliminary contest to the
Bison -Macalester game.
Mr.. Borleske said today that sea-
son tickets have been printed that
will be good for all of the tournament
games as we'll as the Manchester con-
test. These tickets have been placed
on sale at the Hodgson Realty Office
and Fargo high school. The tickets
must be purchased before the tour
nament opens Friday.
Entertainment Planned

the agricultural college and will be
shown about the city. All of the
fraternity and sorority houses at the
