anxious to see what our boys can
do against them. On Thursday ev-

boys. On Friday the first team
plays at Harlem and on Saturday
at Chinook. These will test the
team to the Nth degree. Our lads
are still off stride. The team is
lop-sided and does not work as
we'll as we wish. Hard practice
is the order, experiments + be-
ing made and the competition is
wide open. If the boys don't click
within the next two weeks our
chances are slim. We surely do
miss those Observation-Disclosures OF

Basketball Games

Basketball Games
The girls basketball team Of
the Wolf Point High school lost
by a score of 24-3 when they play
ed Brockton Saturday night on the
Brockton floor. They were handi-
capped by both the large floor and
the size of the Brockton team. The
points for the local team includ-
ed a field goal by Alta Cusker and
a free throw by Helen Louise
Styer. Erma CHsker was the out
standing player on the Wolf Point
team. Jane Clark has quit basket
ball. Bernice Geisen has returned
, school but cannot play this
year. AS a result most of the play
ers are extra green but these
games will give them experience
for another year. The Brockton
girls will play here next Thurs
day evening. The r not as good
as last years team, but it is a
pleasure to watch them work. M.
Short did nice work as referee. Al
ter the game Brockton furnished
a delicious lunch to all of us. Mrs.
Styer and Clyta Cusker furnished
cars for the girls team. The
Wolves were Helen Louise StyeT.
Juanita Kellogg. Alta Cusker, Err
ma Cuskcr, Aileen Anderson and
Myrtle Owings.
A group of inexperienced sec
ond string boys were taken along
to gain basketball knowledge from
the fast Brockton outfit. Brock
ton has a rangy outfit that can
easily be at or near the top in
the district if they will train. They
weaken in spots and thus a 40
minute team will defeat them.
The Wolves were Erwin Everett
Douglass Larson, George Rather,
Donald Nelson, Daniel Deck, Low
ell Burnison, Powell White and
Fohn Lindsay. John and Lowell
saved many a goal. The forwards
@rd center worked hard but they
lacked experience to find open
ing. They also lacked ability 10

the players. Erwin showed the
best basket ability while tbs
guards showed the best floorwork.
Erwin will be a good man il he
learns to last longer than ten min

md is now reporting with our first
squad. Nelson is jumping better
md is learning how to place the
ball, how to handle it when he
gets ii and how to stay on his
cot. Rathert was in the mixup all
the time. Larson and White, who
were in a short time, showed pos
.bilities. All Of these men are

watched for strength on the 1881
aam but more so for the 1882
cam which should be a twin TO
the 1880 team. Coach Doe has
the task of building a team to get
by the 1881 district tournament.
The Cub Wolves only made two
baskets or 4 points to Brockton's
0, score 4 to IS. Our boys again
showed the free throw weakness
that has characterized all playing
this year. They missed all five
free throws.
Messrs. Rathert and Livingston

Ba bCoCk Protests
Road Fund Plea
Not Necessary to Spend Money
to Retain U. S. Route Nos,
No Reason to Change

C. M. Babcock, commissioner of
highways of Minnesota, has protest
ed reports that associations along
certain highways carrying U. S. num-
bers are collecting contributions from
business men in towns along with
threats that the interstate route num-
bers will be moved to other highways
unless contributions are made.
Purpose of placing U. S. numbers
on routes carrying interstate traffic
was to relieve business men and civic
organizations from the toll levied by
trail associations which frequently
used the threat of moving the trail as
a means of forcing contributions.
"Since the numbering system was
put INFO effect, great many of these
associations have disappeared, but in
their places have sprung up organ
izations named after numbers placed
on certain highways.
'This is prefectly legitimate and
proper as long as they confine them
selves to advertising towns and at
fractions along the route, but it is not
proper for them to use the threat of
moving the highway as a means of
bringing in contributions.
mo U. S. route numbers can be
changed without the approval of the
American Association of State High
way officials, and this approval will
not be given without the Endorsement
of the highway officials of the states
affected. No changes are contem-
plated in Minnesota"

undertaken survey Of the Cannon
river and the city dump and sewage

Of the water which has resulted in the
extinction of fish.
Damage done by rats which the
