under way at 2 pm. today
when Colstrip and Custer met
to initiate the play for 1916.

Worden to close the initial
round.

had been obtained for team
members. Enoug h sleeping
space for all necessary per-
sonnet for the southern divis-
ion meet has also been prom
iSed, it was announced. APP
probation to H%ardinites who
offered space in their homes
so that the tournaments
could he held here was ex-
pressed by those responsible
for arrangements.
H. R. Salyer. tournament
manager, said no season
tickets will be sold. and that
single admission tickets will be
on sale at the door for each
session. However, reserved seats
for the entire meet are avail
able.
The tourney is single elimin-
i alton for the championship,
with the team winning first
place also earning the right to
compete in the Southern Div
ision meet. On additional game
! after the championship round
may be necessary. If the teams
placing second and third have
not met previously, they will
play for the privilege of being
the other team from this dis
trict to go on to the regional.
This year two teams from each
district are to be entered in
divisional Glass "B" play.
Although Hardin is favored
on the basis of regular season
results, upsets are possible. The
Bulldogs only defeat in this
district was at the hands of
Forsyth. However, Worden, the
first opponent of the local five,
showed surprising ability last
week against a strong Red
Lodge team, almost nosing out
the Carbon county experts, who
had no trouble defeating Har-
din in games earlier this year.
Special events connected with
the meet will be the tourna-
ment dance Saturday night
and the appearance of the Or
onyx drill team on Thursday
and Saturday nights. Girls
from other schools will probab-
ly also make appearances as
twirlers or drill teams, though
definite plans had not yet
been announced.
