SECONDPLACE
SCRAP LOOMS
FOR TOURNEY
Under New Program Two Top
Teams Earn Right to Go
to Division.
Wolf Point Club Is Doped to
Take First in Class B
Competition.

Advance dope and new plan CT
play have all influenced a new trend
of talk this year about the annual
Glass B, District 3 basketball tourn-
ament at the Glasgow civic center
next Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day, Feb. 26, 81 and %.
Most all the fans are agreed
about first place. That is pretty
generally conceded to the Wolf
Point Wolves, now Glass B title
holders and a team that several
Glass A coaches say is the best they
have net this season. Wolf
Glass A victims have included Great
Falls, Havre and Glasgow and Coach
Bob Lowry's team has swept its B
district with little competition.
But second place is another story.
And second place carries additional
Importance this year, for it also
carries with it the right to enter
division competition. Therefor, semi
final rounds Friday night have been
marked down by maple court fol-
lowers as something to ZEE.
How They're Matched
One side of the bracket brings
the winner of the Wolf Point White
water opener against the victor in
the Frazer-Saco fracaS. This appears
to be a certain win for Wolf Point.
But the other side is somewhat
mere doubtful. By advance seedlings,
Nashua and Malta are expected to
win their opening games against
Hinsdale and Opheim Thursday
If the Porcupines and the
Mustangs get by their first rounds,
a real battle may be expected be-
tween them Friday evening. Malta
is seeded as NO. 2 team by vote
of coaches, but Nashua supporters
say there is a strong possibility
that rating may be reversed.
A spirited advance sale Of season
reserved tickets was reported this
week at the Glasgow hotel, reserv-
ed seat headquarters. Blocks CT seats
are betting assigned to numerous out
of-town delegations. Student sea
sen tickets also r On sale at all
competing schools. Ample room will
be provided in the big center
has a seating capacity of
$500, for those who wish to pur-
chase single admissions.
John Hickey of Cut Bank and
Charles Nagel of Helena are tourn-
ament referees, with Roy Huber
and Sam Gilluly of Glasgow as Of
fetal timer and scorer.

Glasgow and Flathead high OF
Kalispell split a two-game basket

chance to tie the score with a gift
shot in the last 5 seconds but it
didn't connect. The home team had

The Scots played a consistent
flccr game the second night but
were off in their cunning from the
field. However, their accuracy at the

1943 PLATE

A portent of things to come" as
our war effort is extended was seen
this week at the office of Mrs. Nora
Mumford, county treasurer.
It is a piece of steel "a by 514
inches: it is a sample of Montana's
1943 car license plate. 1t bears the
figures "1943" and has room for a
small number. 1t will be bolted over
one end of the 1912 plate, which will
be kept attached to the ar.
Deputy Art Parke, who did some
figuring on the matter, found that
the new design has about one-
twelfth the amount of steel required
in one of the present large licenses.
Thus, six sets IA be made for
the same amount of metal as one
old plate in this ingenious and sensi-
BILE idea. Saves the state quite a
number of dollars and gives the ma
ton several extra carloads of steel.
