BASKETBALL, OUR WINTER
SPORT


Most sports of an athletic nature
necessarily languish during the
winter. Baseball. football. tennis
and golf pass off the stage with
the appearance of rough weather.
But we still have the poppy in
door game of basketball. a game
that has had wonderful develop
ment during the last twenty or
twenty-five years and remarkable
growth in popularity.
Just how popular the game is
with the general public was strik-
ingly demonstrated at the district
tournament for northeastern Mon
tana at Bainville last week. when
several hundred fans from Wolf
Point and other towns in this and
surrounding counties attended to
root for their respective teams and
enjoy the thrill of the nip and
tuck battles of the baskets. 1t is
fine. and an experience OF no
small benefit, for virtually all the
people of a community to become
intensely and sympathetically in
terested in the same thing at the
same time-a thing that holds pos
sibilities for big returns in clean,
good-natured craftsmanship. re-
newed fellowship and good Old

that there is great benefit in brush
ing up against our neighbors in
our town and neighboring towns
while laying aside II routine
cares.
The 1927 district tournament was
a great success. we'll managed
we'll differed and well played. Our
Bainville friends deserved the con
gratulations of their visitors. On
the other hand Supt. Smith OF the
Bainville schools was warm in his
thanks to those who attended II
aided in making the tournament
a big success.
We are still cussing Il ill luck
at not being able to join the gang
on the special train. There were
sights worth seeing. Some say the
best were the spectacles OF Wolf
Pointers roofing Justify for Poplar,

team schedule worked against them
in the l, 2, 5, ranking at the close.
A lot of basketball ball talent was
revealed at Bainville and the play
ers and their coaches went home
inspired to give their respective
towns better teams next year.
The northeast district has never
done anything of note at the state
tourney at Bozeman. The high al
titude is against us for one thing.
We have had about the same luck
bringing a state championship over
here that we have had in securing
a state normal. But we of Wolf
Point belong to the tribe that never
lose hope. The 1927 team is the
best team that ever wore the Wolf
Point colors. We nay be sure that
Captain Nichol and his men
Moore. Lang, Rathert, LaRoque,
Schneider and Vinson, when they
get into the big show, will do their
best to hit and hold the near un-
beatable stride that marks their
best. And will remember that
head work counts most. and that
sustained, consistent team play un-
til the last whistle brings results.
Wolf Point will be with them heart
and soul, and we hope the whole
northeast district is back of it's
champs. One thing is sure-all
teams will get a square deal at the
State College.
