Third Annual Tournament to be Held in High School
Gymnasium March 10 and Il.

7,x e. ~ y AAAAAeSSA - AAA AAA
Friday and Saturday Of next
week Bowbe1ls will for the third
time have the opportunity Of enter
tanning the high school basketball
teams of the Sth district and several
hundred ardent enthusiasts Of the
game who always attend the series.
In the past two years every team
and its coach has gone away with
the highest commendation for the
treatment accorded them while in
our little city, and we are quite
certain this year will be no excep-
tion.
The district has been reappor-
toned in such way that this year
three new teams are made members
of the 8th section: Bottineau, Will
low City, and Omeeme; this change
was made on account of ruling
adopted at the meeting of the Ath-
letic League at Fargo last fall limit
ing the number of teams to enter
any tournament to eight. It is not
known at this time just how many
teams will enter the meet this year,
but the following eight are expect
ed: Bottineau, Willow City, Cros-
by, Kenmare, Donnybrook, Flaxton,
Mohall and Bowbells. Omeeme
and Portal did not become members
of the League in sufficient time to
participate in the meet. -.
Supt. Harry e. Polk. who is to
act as manager again this year, an
nounces that the same general plan
as has been used in the past will be
followed In the matter of drawing
and scheduling OF games, the draw
ing to take place at 10 o'clock Fri
day morning. March 10th. ) II all
eight teams come as planned now
seven games will be played through
the series. four preliminaries the
first day, two semi-finals, and the
final contest being staged Saturday
evening.
"a All the officials have not yet been
secured, hut 1t is probable that r..
L. Blume of Minot will again act
as the chief official OF the games
with the possibility of H. A. EN-
manuel OF Berthold working with
him. The admission to the games
will be the same as last year, soc
for double header preliminaries
40c for the single semi-finals, and
Soc for the final game. A season
ticket for all the games (providing
seven games are played) will be Of
fered for $500 to adults, and $1.25
for children.
IL the crowd this year measures
up to those in the past two years
1t will be necessary to ask for rooms
in private homes to accommodate
visitors. Any persons who have
rooms they can let for one or two
nights should advise Mr.. Polk al
the school house. Definite an
nonncelnent OF the games to be
played and the teams entered will
be available in next weeks Issue, a.
all entries must be In the manag
er's hands not later than Friday o.
this week.
d 1t Is very difficult at this time te
make much of a prediction concern
ing the outcome of the tournament
Kenmare. from all appearance!
seems to have little the edge OF
any team in the district, but Don
I nybrook, having won their last
games. is to be reckoned with, ant
neither is Crosby, who handed !
drubbing to Berthold after latte
\ defeated Minot. to be put aside
Bottineau is rather an unknown
quantity. very little. having bee1
heard OF them this year. although
at the beginning Of the season the,
played q very close score with Ege
land. which is considered one o
the strong teams OF the state at th
present time. It is hopel that Bow
bells will show better form when i
comes to the final test. although
they seem to have shown somewha
Of slump in the last two games
They will make their last stan,
against Donnybrook tonight on th
local floor. One thing is assured
that before the final shot Of the GU
in the last game sCf the meet /
sounded, basketball fans OF thi
section ef the state will have wit
messed some real tests, and there
certain TO be q team 60 to the stat
meet at Fargo which will do ful
credit to its town and the entir
eighth district.
