TWO HARD GAMES
ARE SCHEDULED.
BASKETBALL BOYS HAVE j
HEAVY WEEK AHEAD OF
THEM, JAN. 6 AND. 10.

The basketball game advertised
for last week went by the boards
owing to the non-arrival of the
Gilbert team. It was said that the
range boys left Gilbert at o'clock
Saturday for Ely Up to the hour
of going to press today, they have
not arrived and nothing has been
definitely ascertained as to their
whereabouts.
A large crowd were at the Audit
orium and waited patiently until
$50 when the management an
nounced that the gate money would
be returned. Two teams CT high
school players put up good pre-
liminary game and kept the crowd
amused for a time. The non-ar-
rival of the Gilbert boys was un-
fortunate as the attendance was
good and the Ely boys were robbed
of chance to win from the strong
range team.
Tomorrow evening the Aurora
team will be here and try conclu-
sions with our boys. This pro-
misses to be battle royal and will
open at 8 o'clock. A preliminary
game will precede the main bout.
On Wednesday, Jan. 10, the West
Duluth All Stars are scheduled for
here. This team is composed of
>such well known players as Mcneil
lis, Bodin, Dick O'Donnell, Bratt,
Harris and Jimmy O'Neil. A pre-
liminary game will also open this
evenings play.
Had the Gilberts arrived last
Saturday, all the old players of
last years team would have been
seen in action on the part of the
locals, viz: Chinn, Hegman, Simon
son, Murn, Gerzin and Lindbeck.
