In the third quar- ter both.teams scored six points and in the last quarter Bemidji scored two _and Cass Lake one, making the total score 21 to 13. Cass Lake had a large ’ollowmg and Bémidji- was quite wil repre- sented, by students and. interested fans. The Bemidji Boys Band gave a fine concert before the game and between ‘#he halves, also assisting in_the ruutmg for Bemidji.

Farrell) New York, Dec. 16.—Suggestions for two radical changes in the base- ball rules came recently from St. Louis. Tt was suggested that a free ticket to the bases be issued on three balls instead of four balls, as at present, and that three fouls on the third strike should constitute an out. While there is nothing particularly wrong with the suggestion, any ad- option of the changes = probably would be opposed on the theory that they are not needed. Reducing - the number -of balls to three would only work a ]mnd)cnp on a pxtcher and pitching is under enough handicap now with-the lively ball, the freak rules, etc. Making it an out for three fouls on the last strike would not be of much importance. Joe O’Brien, Jack Dunn and some of the old timers tell high school, December 29, and fl'\sthow John McGraw, and the old Qri- game promises to give the Bemidji|oles used to knock fouls school-something to work for during the next two weeks of practice.

It would speed up the game and speed is surely needed. Too many games last year ran two hours, two hours and a half and three hours. Some improvement could be made up the umpires would keep after the Players, but the officials seem just as lazy themselves. Club owners, privately, if not for publication, know that pitching is under ‘too much of a handicap and it | is. understood that the umpires may be instructed to permit tlie moderate use of resin mext year on the ball. Many pitchers used it '‘last | season when they could get away with it and some of them did consistenitly. ~ | When the pitching’ was“too:good, the popular demand was for hitting: and now there is such an excess of slugging that the fans are beginning to howl for some old time pitching. While none of the Tng}l moguls would admit it, there is no doubt that ‘something was' done last winter to put more life in the ball. It pro- duced a sesaon of the most dynamic hitting and it proved too much of a good thing. Pitchers grew lax and fielding suffered because the ball couldn’t be handled and - players were a little backward’ about taking chances. MICIHGAN N LOOKING * TO FAST BASKET YEAR Wolvermel Never Had Bekter Cause for Fecling Better ¥ ngr Court Season Ann Arbor, Dec. 16.—With its most successful football season in years now a matter of record, Michi- gan looks forward with keen anti- clputmn to its fast basketball cam- paign. Never before have the Wolvennes had better cause for feelmg bright at the béginning of a court season than Lhey have this year. Five letter men, all of whom were members of the quintet that tied for the confer- ence championshi plast season, are available to the team and the pros- pects of the Michigan basketeers capturing the title again this year are exceptionally bright. In “Bily” Miller, a forward on the mythical all-conference five, Coach Mater has 8 man of natural ability as a. floorman. His capacity for | scoring points, ‘both. by free throws and by field goals, has marked him as a dangerous man. Capt. Ely, the elongated center, whose brilHany work last year brought him promi- nently into the basketball limelight, is not far behind Miller in ability. It is around these two men that Coach Miller plans to build his at- tack. Kipke, the widely heralded foot - | ball star is the third cog in the of- fensive machine. He has shown him- selb to be an exceptionally speedy ‘and cleyer forward. In the defenswe department, Michigan will not be lacking. Paper, the Wolverines Have, with- out question, one .of the most .con- sistent floormen -in the conference. Heihas an uncanny ability of break- \ing. map -opposing -plays.- Birks, a guard, is' the fifth letter man on the squad: He was used during the lat- ter part of last senson and proved his ‘mettle. This’ for the letter men. Rex Rea- son, “who. 'was a victim of the ineli- mbx ity “big-bear” last year, .and Henderson, [both forwaaids, pre| ng..‘ able to the team this year. They will make & strong bid for a berth on the team. Then,. too, there is some splen- ddd material from' last year’s fresh- ‘man teams, the most likely of which are Dunleavym-Steger, Keefer, Go- wan and Haggerty. Coach Mater hag been drilling his sqpad for some few weekg past. All of them, with the exception .of Kip-| ke, Dunleavy, Keefer and Steger who were ‘kept.out of football, have been working out.

Al-, though .o ‘particulars will be. learned until the Firemen return: heme this afternoon, the.count would:indicate that Fergus Falls fought desye.ntely in the. last half to: win the contest and ‘that ‘Bemidji’s lead in:the first half was all that saved them and kept their slate clean. -Thursday night’s score agamst Fergus Falls was ‘13 to 11,°the Firemen winning in an extra fwe-mmute périod. This ‘gives, Bermd;n iwo games over Fergus Falls-and it is likely ‘that the ‘down- staters will wantito play a return game here in the near future. If that is the case, such a game or a series of games would undoubtedly be arranged, and these games would attract a large ‘crowd of fans. The . Bemidji team returned home ! this noon by way of Crookston and reports that they received fine treat- ment at the hands of Fergus Falls during their stay there and they have no complaint tosoffer. .They declare however, that Fergus . Falls has a much . stronger téam this year than they went into-the finals with last year. Three new men have been ad- ded and they strengthened fie team |, | considerably. "~ The¢ Bem boys are now looking “ferward? to ‘return game 'with Fergus ‘Falls, believeing that the commy ity will'turn out’en masse to see thé two tédms ‘in action.

Arrangements - are . now being .made by Manager R. B. Lycan for a game here with Virginia Tuesday or Thursday. night- of next week, Tues- 'day night preferred. In case’ that ‘Virginia agrees to Tuesday. ni ht, this will be the next 'game for Firemen. In any event, the Firemen are to meet Cnmpqny M. of Crookston on the Bemidjifloor Wednesday ev- ening. Bleachers are now being con- structed to aacomodate -the largest crowd ever to witness a basketball game in Bemidji and the indications are that the bleachers, will be badly needed.

Crookston have kept their slates. clean so far this season. and one of ‘the two ig-bound to get- its records slightly mussed up Wednes- day night. --Athletic rivalry between Crookston and Bemidji has always been keen and is expected to reach itg high point when the ‘two teams battle on the new armory floor, for their “first' meeting “of ‘the season. 'Three other games have been ar- aranged with Crookston, one more here and two on the Crookston floor. | Both teamg are anxious to win the opening: game of the series and a lively contest is in store.
