The midgets showed their real class
yesterday afternoon and won a victory
from the fast Grand Forks aggrega
tion in a snappy and exciting game of
real basketball. When the smoke of
battle had cleared away the score
book showed the tally to be 26 to 23,
with the locals on the long end.
Grand Forks missed the morning
train and did not arrive until 8:30.
This delayed the starting whistle un
til sometime after 4. The visitors
showed some effects of the trip, but
seemed as fit as ever after they had
warmed up. They appeared to be
rather confident of victory. The up
state bunch were smaller than was
expected, but at that they had a good
advantage over the locals in size.
In the World of Sport
WON BY MIDGETS
A WHIRLWIND GAME BETWEEN
THE GRANO FORKS FIVE AND
THE MIDGETS WAS WON BY
THE LATTER—SCORE 26 TO 23—
PLAY DETROIT TONIGHT.
The midgets were accorded small
chances of victory artd the crowd was
surprised to see them start things with
a rush and roll up the score. As a
result of some good work by Nesblt
and Melchior the high school gained
a lead amounting to ten points when
time was taken out by Bllx In the mid
dle of the flrst half.
The midgets, especialy tha guards,
were putting up a wonderful fight.
They charged quick and hard and kept
after the ball all the time. Grand
Forks started a rally but were fought
back and at the half ended the score
stood 16 to 8.
Remembering Grand Forks' remark
able come back of last year, the locals
were on their guard when the second
half started. Grand Forks did come
back strong, but the midgets still had
on their fighting togs and made them
work for every point. For a time it
looked as if the huskies from the
north would catch up, but by some de
cidedly good guarding and fighting
Coach Robinson's warriors saved the
day.
The game ranks as one of the best
high school contests seen here. The
officiating was of High order. The
officials had the game always in
hand and allowed the players just
enough liberty to make things inter
esting. Coach Watkins of the F. C.
and McLean of the D. B. C. alternated
as referee and umpire.
O'Keefe played about the best game
for the visitors. He did some good
guarding and pulled off several sensa
tional shots. He was followed closely
by Nesblt, and so did not get many
chances to shoot, but made the best of
them when he did.
Coulter, the visitors' center, showed
himself to be a very good man, espe
cially dangerous under his own basket.
Although taller than Bllx. Fargo's cen
ter, he was often out-jumped. The
other members of the visiting aggrega
tion also played strong games.
The locals' smallest men, Nesblt and
Melchior, were their brightest stars.
Melchoir held his man safe and three
times succeeded in caging the pill from
the field. His floor work was good
and his ability to roll in the free
throws aided Fargo's scors consider
ably.
Nesbit was a marked man, but at
that, and with the additional task of
holding down O'Keefe, which in itself
is no small job for one man, he man
aged to connect with four field bas
kets. He played a fine game and his
experience and all-around ability did
much to bring home the victory.
Perry did some fine work at guard.
Ills charging and breaking up of plays
was a feature of the gama.

give a good account of themselves. As

team. The game with Harwood, billed
for Saturday, has been postponed.

George Calfman Howe Winning Ath
latia Fame at School Where Char*

It will undoubtedly be of great in
terest to Fargoans to know that the
reputation this city has gained for
turning out splendid athletes Is being
maintained by the men now in school
in different parts of the country. At
the recent election for the football
aaptaincy of the Northwestern Mili
tary academy at Highland Park, 111.,
and Lake Geneva, Wis., George Cole
man Howe, 1136 Fifth avenue south,
was chosen to guide the destinies of
the soldiers' eleven for the 1012 sea
son.
This will be Howe's third season on
the Northwestern football team where
he has played successively end and
quarterback, holding down the last
position during the season just past.
His work on the team has been mark
ed by much ability and careful judg
ment and his election as captain of
the team comes as a deserved reward
for his three seasons' work. He is
also playing his second season as
guard on the varsity basketball team.
Northwestern Military academy will
be remembered as the school where
Charley Pollock first came into the
athletic spotlight a number of yaars
ago.

LOCAL8, DID NOT PLAY UP TO
THEIR USUAL 8TANDARD
WHILE U. PLAYED A FAST CON­
SISTENT GAME AGGIES IN
POOR 8HAPE PHYSICALLY.
Tit# agricultural college basketball
team lost out to the university team
yesterday afternoon at Grand Forts
by the close score of 22 to 16.
The aggie team was in the poorest
shape of the year, physically, which
caused their lineup to be changed
considerably, and at no time did they
display their wonderful speed and
team work that caused the defeat of
the Fargo college team two weeks ago.
The game started at 3:80 and gavo
promise of being a victory for the
locals when within a half minute
Hackett connected for the first basket,
but soon after the university started
scoring, running It up to 6, the teams
were ties again at 6 and the aggies
again jumped into the lead. The game
appeared to die down at this point and
the university held the lead at the
of the half 10 to 8.
The university opened up the second
half by scoring two baskets in sue
cession and Coach Rueber attempte
to steam the tide by substituting Bent
ley for Breyer at guard and later on
Bolsinger was replaced by Gorman at
the other guard. These changcs had
only a momentary effect and the^core
was raised by the university to 20,
at this point Hackett was replaced by
Hall at forward and each team made
a basket and the A. C. one foul throw.
Both sides had very hard luck In
connecting with the basket and time
after time the shot was missed on an
apparently easy chance. The univer
sity played fast ball all through the
game and it was not in doubt after
the flrst ten minutes of the last half.
Heimes, the U.'s fast center, played
the best game for the winners with
sad a close second. For the A. C.
there was no starring, every one play
ing about the same kind of a game
which was far below their standard.
The lineup was as follows:

ABE LOS! TITLE
TO KILBANE
Vernon Arena. Los Angeles, Feb. 28—
A new featherweight champion was
proclaimed here when Johnny Kilba.ne
of Cleveland, O., clearly outfought Abe
Attell, the hitherto Invincible cham
pion.
Kilbane's victory was clear cut and
decisive. He had the better of all the
rounds with the possible exception of
two. He left the ring with one mark
over his eye where Attell butted him
with his head. Attell waa badly bruis
ed.
Nine thousand witnessed the fight.
KLAUS WON

San Francisco, Gal., Feb. 23.—Sailor
Ed Petroskey, the aspirant for middle
weight honors, took a terrific drubbing
at the hands of Frank Klaus, the
Pittsburg claimant of the champion
ship. Klaus won the decision with
nearly every round to his credit.
Petroskey with the odds, 2 to 1
against him, received punches for
every one he landed, but the twen
tieth round found him still ready to
exchange blows and he was cheered
repeatedly for his gameness.
Klaus had all the better of the In
fighting and belabored Petroskey's ribs
and hammered his face until it was
puffed and bleeding. Petroskey held
his own In exchanges at long range
and shook his man with right crosses
and upper-cuts but never stopped
Klaus from boring Into a clinch.

HIT-
WILL WRESTLE
ZB'
Duluth, Minn., #eb. 2S.—-After 63
minutes and 25 seconds of the hard
est kind of wrestling at the auditorium
Jess Pederson abandoned the catch
as-catch-can style of wrestling and
grasping Ordeman In his favorite
Graeco-Roman hold, balanced him
high high above his head and then
brought him down with such force to
tb mat that Ordeman was stunned.
Ordeman, after the doctors worked
over him fifteen minutes offered to
go back on the mat if his seconds
would lift him to the ring. But after
Dr. McLaren made a statement of his
injuries to the crowd and left the Issue
to them, a thousand voices answered
"No," and the match was over.
Ordeman's manager, George Barton,
cancelled two dates, one at Omaha and
one at Lincoln, Neb., due to Ordeman's
condition.
To Wrastla in Fargo.
At the conclusion of the wrestling
match it was announced that articles
had been signed fdr a wrestling bout
In Fargo March 6 between Henry Or
deman of Minneapolis and Stanislaus
Zbyszko, the Polish challenger of
Frank Gotch for the championship of
the world.
Details o' the match were not dis
closed but it waa said that the bout
would he a handicap go with the terms
that Zbyssko must throw Ordeman
twice in an hour to be declared the
winner of the match. On the showing
made by Zbyszko against Ordeman in
previous bouts in Boston and in Min
neapolis, it is doubted whether he can
turn the trick.
Barton late tonight declared thai
after resting ten days Ordeman would
be In good condition to take on
Zbyszko In Ftorgo March 6. His in«
juries last night are not regarded atf
serious, the Jarring which he received i
when thrown by Pederson causing i
only a temporary shock.
After recovering from this Orde
man himself was anxious to return
to the mat and was angry when hm
manager refused to permit him to do
so, the latter fearing permanent In
jury to the grappler. Ordeman's
gamenesa won him many frieada in
Duluth.
