eight months of high school here

Prices Reduced

Captain w. A. Fraser, who is
fathering the Company l. Basketball
team, announces that admission fees
for certain games to be seen on the
local floor will be for less than
the usual fifty and twenty-five cents.
The games on which it is possible to
make this concession are the games
played with the teams of neighbor-
ing towns as Winthrop, Belview, Oil
via, Lamberton and others. This re-
duction is possible because these near
by towns require less of guarantee
sum than do the teams from a dis
tance. 1t does not mean that the
games will be inferior in any way
The first game to be seen at the re-
duced prices of thirty-five and twen-
ty cents is the Friday evening game
with L.amberton. This is a return
game and the local boys are prepar-
ing to give Lamberton trouncing in
return for the one they received there
last week. There is possibility that
the local boys will be taken to St.
PetSr later in the season to play the
team of Gustavus Adolphus College
which is one of the best teams in the
conference.

prayer service led by DR.. A. w. Ross
of the Presbyterian Church. The lat

a discussion of the reservation of
Thursday evening for church purposes
w. H. Gold acting as chairman dur
ing this discussion. The question of
conflicting events which make it inn
possible to get the attendance of
church people at Thursday evening
meetings had been discussed in the
Ministerial Conferences prior to the
meeting of last week, and was here
discussed that the layity might give
the matter due consideration. DR..

the necessity of there being some eve

LAMBERTON TOWN TEAM WINS
FROM COMPANY L. TEAM IN
SPLENDID GAME ON LANDER
TON FLOOR. SCORE 1922.

What at first appeared to be utter
rout was turned into victory by the
Town Team here last Thursday even
ing when they came back strong in
the last half and defeated the strong
Co. L team of Redwood Falls by a
margin of 26 to %.
The game started with rush with
both teams out to do their best but
it was soon apparent that the Red
wood Falls gang meant business,
caging three baskets in short order
and generally playing hob with the
local who seemed unable to hit their
stride. The visitors displayed style
of play that was considerably sup
erior to that of the home boys who
tried hard enough but seemed to be
unable to pull together and continu-
ally lost the ball to their opponents.
The visitors garnered one basket af-
ter another while the locals were de-
sperately, trying to hold them down.
The first quarter ended 8 to and
the second quarter was much on the
same order ending IA to in favor
of the Redwood Falls lads.
Near the close Of the first half HUI
bert and Holden were substituted in
place of Peterson and Riordan who
were not feeling well and with these
men in the team seemed to get a
new lease of life. Some snappy play
ing resulted in several points for the
locals among which was pretty shot
by Hubert from beyond the center
line By dint of hard work and with
the aid of several lucky shots the
home boys began gradually to close
in on the enemy who now seemed to
lack the snap displayed earlier in the
game, being unable to make their
shots for basket count and missing
several that should have been sure
tallies. The locals appeared to be
decidedly short on wind, calling time
out repeatedly, but always coming
back strong at the call of the whistle
after little recuperation. Near the
end of the third quarter the home
boys forged ahead, the score standing
10 to Is in their favor when the
whistle blew.
Both teams came out. strong for
the final wind-up. The locals, how
ever, now seemed to have the edge
on their opponents and slowly but
surely began to draw away from the

perty.
"The officers and directors of this
company have invested practically
nothing in the business and state that
they do not intend to invest any
money therein" the commission an
nounced.
'The enterprise has been entirely
financed through the bond and note
sale. While a reorganization of the
company has been effected since the
