The basketball dope in the high
school conference is entirely upset
this year and it is mighty hard to fig
ure out the chance Of any team on
their past standing. The locals won
from Bismarck on the local floor
quite easily but lost to them by mar
row margin on the Bismarck floor
The next night they won from Man.
dan by a comfortable margin. The
other day Mandan defeated Bismarck
in hard fought contest. Valley City
defeated jamestown handily and Bis
marck lost to them last night by a
"a to 10 score. Bismarck was consld-
cred one of the strong teams OF the
state but are evidently losing their
standing. Casselton, whom no one
thought were serious contenders for
sectional honors are coming to the
front fast, upsetting all the dope, and
will be a stumbling block to many
teams before the end of the season.
The locals seem the most consistent
winners in the section so far this year
but we had better say it with our fin
gers crossed.

in view of the fact that the lunch was

by E. M. Lavery and is at present &C.
cupied by M. S. Hall. 1t seems that
a pipe leading through the ceiling Of
the front room got overheated and the
woodwork around it caught fire. The
neighbors held it in check until the
fire department arrived and they got
it out with the use of chemicals. The
fire truck had difficulty in answering
the call due to the heavy drifts in the
streets but Chief Craswell had fore
seen the difficulty which they might
have and had a sleigh loaded with
hose and chemicals ready to answer
the call. This was sent out when the
call was received and arrived in time
to prevent a serious conflagration.
The truck was stuck in a drift on
Fifth avenue for several minutes. The
sleigh will be kept in readiness for
emergencies.

Tonight the S. r. C. try conclusions
with the fast Wahpeton Science School
quint on the local high school floor.
The locals are due for a stiff battle
but have every confidence in their
ability to annex the long end of the
score. Wahpeton has been going
good so far this season and have had
a little more experience than the To-
Gals in the number Of games played
but, to offset that, the locals will be
playing on a local floor with which
they are familiar and they figure that
this fact will balance up the advan-
tage which the visitors have in expert
ence. The locals are doing some
mighty good work under the coaching
of Hurst and with their natural abil-
ity combined with the teachings of
the coach they are developing into one
of the fast teams Of the state. Come
out tonight and root for the boys.
Give them your support and they will
do the rest.
