the 1880 championship.
Michigan and Wisconsin, which
shared the title a year ago, have
gone unscathcd through their prac-
tice games and appear to be po-
sessed Of great power. The VOL
verines have won three practice con-
tests, with a q to "a triumph over
Pennsylvania and a 81 to 8 victory
over Albion the outstanding achieve
ments. The Badgers, playing two
games without Captain Bud Foster,
also have won three games and have
shown steady Improvement.

decision to Pittsburgh's great five,
but redeemed itself with q 80 to 2S

was revealed Saturday by G. G.
A. G. athletic director.
Jennings Franklin. athletic director
Of the West Virginia school, Satur-
day wired Finnegan for a game in
Fargo with the Bison Sept. ~, and
Finnegan Immediately answered that
the A. G. was interested In the prop
osition and would decide definitely at
a meeting of the athletic board to be
held Monday.
Offer Big Surprise
The offer from Davis Elkins came
as q distinct surprise to the Bison
director. He has been negotiating
with several important schools for q
game in Fargo next fall, and was
waiting for q reply from Conrad Jen-
nings, athletic directo. Of Marquette
university. regarding the possibility
Of bringing the Milwaukee school to
Fargo Oct. 4.
Davis Elkins is scheduled to meet
the University Of North Dakota at
Grand Forks On Oct. 3. and evidently
Franklin Is DESTROYS Of arranging the
game with the Bison in order to
break the Jump to the home Of the
Nomads, and to carry q larger squad.
Game Is Desirable
Finnegan refused to comment on
the possibilities Of the A. G. athletic
boards accepting the engagement,
and also kept his own opinion to
himself. He did remark that Davis
Elkins would make q great attraction
for Fargo Sept. n, but we are still
hopeful of landing Marquette on our
schedule"
When the athletic board meets
either today or Monday, the members
will also consider the possibilities Of
opening athletic relationships with
Oklahoma City university. Oklah0ms
City has invited the Bison to PLAY
there next fall, and to play . return
game In Fargo in 1881. As all Okla.
horna City's November dates have
been filled, there is little chance thai
such an arrangement will materialtze
Regarding the possibilities Of thu
Marquette game. Finnegan explained
that he was rather certain the Nil.
Waukee officials will see fit to &C
| cept his proposition. Under the ar
rangement now being considered
| Marquette would appear In Fargo OF
| Oct. 1, and the Bison would journe!

STATE LEAGUE HAS
10 MEMBER TEAM

xxkx4oUOxO 4s ~, ANNs 6O.-NH AAO
Independent Basketball League Of
North Dakota, now entering its fifth
year, will list more than 100 teams In
its circle before the close OF the cur
rent basketball season. according to
an announcement made here by r. W.
Johnston. president. now serving his
third term ct the head Of the organi-
zation.
II believe that independent basket
ball in North Dakota is more highly
organized than in any other state in
the union" Johnston said. Il re-
ceived a number Of inquiries from
other states regarding our organiza-
ton this summer. We had 90 member
teams last year and that did not in
clude all OF the good timber in North
Dakota. We expect to particularly
increase our membership on the Mis-
souri, slope, which was not represent
cd In the state tournament last year.
Amateur Code Observed
I'VE are also going to put parti-
cular stress this year on the fact that
all teams and the members of all
teams must observe q strict amateur
standing. We are asking that no
member Of any team profit PERSONAL
ly from any contest or any tourna-
ment In which he may engage. We
are seeking only to make enough to
pay our way-give our teams good
euuipment. worthwhile trophies, COM
petent officiating. This will by no
! means be meant to bar any member
players from officiating In other con-
tests. In fact, we will encourage 1t
that Ill may get q better understand
Inn Of North Dakota's one typical.
statewide winter pastime.
Already . number Of queries are
heginning to come in, Johnston said,
ana he has called the attention Of
| cities seeking designation as tourney
! sites to q meeting of the state board
az directors which will be held early
IN January, likely at Valley City OF
jamestown.
New Rockford. with its new gym
nAsium. Is the first city to bid for
\ the state tournament which will b
held Ct tho same time Is the high
| school regional events. District In
dep.udent tournaments will be con-
Quoted the week prior to the STATE
event. The practice Of letting the par.
tdcipating teams designate the STATE
tourney site viii likely b abandoned
Johnston said, because such . plar
etyee tourney city officials no time

Thursday Night
OTHER GAMES CONSIDERED
Sports Enthusiast Believes Bis
marck Is Large Enough
to Support Team
OTHER N CONSIDERED

Hoping to build up a healthy inter-
'st in independent basketball in Bis
narck. Neil o. Churchill. manager OF
he Bismarck ~Chryslers. plans to
BRING several OF the states strongest
independent qu!nts to the Capital
City for games this winter.
The pudgy athletic enthusiast
announced today that the first Of the
;erieS of big games will be staged
1t the high school gymnasium at 8:15
o'clock next Thursday night, with the
-hryslers facing the strong James,
own Independent club.
Independent basketball eve has
been a paying proposition in Bis
narck, Churchill points out. and says
hat games cannot be arranged on
sentiment alone
Expenses to BE Met
Visiting teams always expect cx-
oenses, this fact almost "spiking" the
independent game here on several &C.
;asions in the past. Bismarck. 1t
seems. just won't turn out. This is
strange when one considers that the
Capital City IS one OF the four largest
IN the state and vet most any small
town can support q team In this
:las5."
bismarck laments that It cannot
zee college basketball" the robust
one says. but overlooks the fact that
independent teams are almost as
strong as collegiate machines"
Churchill has assembled q great
.eam this year. probably the strongest
the city has had. Included In the
group Of stars are F. E. doc" Bur-
lick, former performer with Mandan
high school who Is one Of the most
accurate shots In this section, Hank
Brown, former Bismarck high school
star, and Eddie Spriggs. all-state
player last year, forwards: Joe
Schlosser and A. G. Van Wyk. rangy
:enters who have played lots OF bas-
ketball: Fay Brown. who vas n OF
the best guards in the state last year
when q member Of the Bismarck high
five. runner up for the state cham
lpionship and Gordon Moore, former
athletic star at the univerity Of
North Dakota, guards. All these
men were high school stars and have
improved with experience.
May Play Colleges
Churchill has other big games IN
mind with clubs from Mlnot, Dickin-
son. and Valley City figuring. II the
fans insure support, he win attempt
to bring college teams in for games.
The Compliant one has made no an
nouncement concerning entering his
team In the state independent league,
which conducts q state tournament
annually, but probably viii do 50 this
year.

AN OLD ORDER PASSES

Ihere used to be maxim in this country to the ef-
1ec that 1t IS just three generations from shrtseeves
to shirtsleeves.
In other words, it was taken for granted that a
family as unit, would not remain in possession Of
wealth very long. One man would rise from poverty
10 riches and his son might keen things GONE Int 6
grandson, brought up to life of ease and luxury.
would be unable handle business affairs and would
either waste or lose the estate and return to the poverty
of his ancestor.
For a number CT years that maxim was more or
less grounded on fact For long time il was the ex-
cepuon, and not the rule, when the son Of rich man
went on to fill his fathers place capably Most of
leaders in business and industry had come up through
the ranks.
Probably it was for this reason that Americans
never had any great fear of the wealthy class That
class was not fixed. There nothing hereditary
about 1t. Anyone with ability and luck could join it
those already IN it were not apt to there very long
The old theory that should be born equal in this
country was pretty we'll borne out by the facts.
But there are signs that the old order is changing.
10 begin with ldleness is not popular among the
wealthy any more The sons of rich men are going to
work. jim Hills grandsons are working their way up
1rcm the bottom IN the railroad business Col Robert
W. Stewards sons doing the same thing in the oil
business. EVERYWHERE. rich men are irnpressing on
their sons that despite their money they must school
themselves to take their places in the workaday world
This, of course, is excellent thing. But it may
end the old shrtsleeves to-shrtseeves business 1t
may make wealth self-perpetuating. In few more
generations may have ruling class composed Of
the descendants of those who founded great fortunes
trained from youth TO keep and add to what they have
10 be sure, opportunity undoubtedly will always
be open to the table But might as well admit that
passing the pioneer stage Ourssocietv is
beginning to stratify.

PULLING FOR ELSIE JANIS.

Millions of Americans, including particularly
eral hundred thousand former members of the A E. F.
are sincerely hoping that the present illness of Elsie
Janis will not prove fatal though serious doubts
OF her recovery are entertained.
Elsie Janis is foremost in all that is best in the ira
dltlons of the American stage. For considerably long
er than score OF years she has been before the Amer
lean public as an entertainer, and during that period
she has never been too busy to give of her time char
liable enterprises.
Likewise the breath of scandal has never touched
her IN the slightest degree. Not during an eX
perlence IN London, in days when because of her
German name (Bierbauer) and extraction was sub
Jeced to some embarrassment there any doubt in
the MINDS of the American people that Elsie

She was not fair weather friend to the A. E. F.
but was found up as far the commander would per-
NIT entertainers to venture The A. E. F.. roughnecks
and others not rough, accepted her as one of the
crowd, but the vernacular considerably toned

Unlike some other actresses Of the screen and

organizations have Cny had to ask and she has gladly

She has the old A, E. F. spirit and will fight this
