Minot Normal Loses to Kenmare and Donnybrook. The Normal Basket Ball team jour neyed to Kenmare last Friday after noon. The first half was rather of. a surprise to the Kenmare boys, the final score at the end of the first half being 2 to 7 in favor of the Normal. The first few minutes of the second half the Normal 'boys seemed to have things in their favor. However the Kenmare boys' endurance was a lit tle too much for the Normal boys and toward the last few minutes Ken mare's score crept slowly upward un til the last three minutes Kenmare succeeded in tossing in the final bas ket, which brot the final score up to 16, just 1 basket above that of the Normal. The boys, however, fought harder than ever the last few min utes and it was impossible for either side to get any more points. The game thruout was a fast, clean one. After the game delightful social hours were enjoyed. The line-up follows: Kenmare— Normal— Dahl R. F. Earl Pierce Johnson-Perry L. F. Donald Faris Sinclair C. Evenson-Pierce G. Perry R. G. Harrison Clark W. Enockson L. G. Donald Gilmore Summary: Normal field goals, 5 foul goals, 4 Kenmare field goals, 7 foul goals 2. The following night the Normal team met the Donnybrook team on their floor. The first half was fast, the score being 10 and 10, but the Normal boys' endurance was greatly reduced by the hard fought game at Kenmare and the Donnybrook team having greatly improved, did some splendid passing and shooting. The spectators claimed it was the best game the Donnybrook boys played this season, so naturally the Donny brook "boys played harder and faster the second half and ran the score up to 25, while the Normal score only reached 16. The game was a clean fought one from start to finish. The Donnybrook high school was host at a good social time after the game. The line-up follows: Donnybrook Sherman Zehm Bowman King Peterson Normal— R. F. Earl Pierce L. F. Donald Faris C. Evenson-Pierce R. G. Clark-Mott L.
