TOURNEY DELAY ED
Until NEXT Week
Due TO ELEMENTS
Antelope : Comertown Meet
in Opening Contest Mon
day Night

The annual district one basket
ball tournament which was to have
gotten under way here last night was
postponed until next week, w. E.
Stegner, tournament manager an
nounced Monday. Extreme cold wea-
Their and a possible coal shortage in
the city resulted in the change OF
schedule.
According to present plans the tour
ney will open Monday evening and
will continue through Wednesday.
Supt. Stegner contacted state tour
nament officials in charge of district
play-offs and was granted permission
to postpone the playing. All tourna-
ments in the state were to have been
held this week end.
With the city's coal supply on a
ration basis, it was deemed advisable
to postpone the tournament until coal
haulers, hampered by Mondays biz
card, could again get to the mines. It
was pointed out by the superintend-
ent, that although enough fuel was
available at the school building to heat
the building for about five days, they
would be forced to call coal trucks into
OPNioticii Witllil q lew QdNS W ulSuTG
sufficient fuel. In view of the fact that
school has been dismissed coal con
sumption has been cut down some
what at the Plentywood institution.
However, if those holding coal con-
tracts to furnish coal for the school
were forced to do their hauling to the
school, residents of Plentywood would
undoubtedly be deprived of coal,
which is wanting in all sections of the
city.
Officials who are to work the games
here have been engaged to ~officiate at
Williston next week end SO in order
to carry out plans it is necessary that
the tournament be held Monday.
Tuesday and Wednesday.
Uncertain train schedules on the
500 Line due to snow blocked right
of-ways also prompted the postpone
ment action.
