Mentor Watkins ‘believes the Con- cordians have furnished an interest- son in the Minnesota confer- lence during this, their first year, in ‘that loop. Of seven games played in {the conference four were won, and two were lost by narrow margins to jtwo of the foremost teams, Gustavus land St. Olaf. The latter school’s |team won by one field goal, scored in an extra period on their own {floor, while Gustavus beat the Cob- bers by one point. Out of the fifteen games, ten were won, and Watkins declares that the Concordia quintet met teams which were at the heighth of their athletic prowess when they bucked against North Dakota agricultural college, Jamestown N. D. College and Gus- tavus Adolphus. The Jimmies, who had a whirlwind squad this season, bowed to the Cobbers in two games. Captain Kalley Ostby and Ted are the only regulars to graduate in June, but Stub Narveson and Ted Anderson, two capable re- serves, and letter men will be hand- {ed diplomas, so that the reserve force will have to be developed. A good nucleus for a quint next season lies in Larry Lawrence guard, Ed Boe, center, and Sally Brewster, forward. A number of the young- {sters have taken part in games this |year, and Coach Watkins expects this experience under fire to be of great benefit to them when next sea- son rolls around. Most likely of \these candidates for berths next year jare Beuesing, Erickson, Thosen and Donald Thompson, all freshmen ex- cept Thorsen. ‘ARTHUR LOPEZ IDENTIFIED BY TEXAN UNCLE Minneapolis, Mar. 12.—The Min- neapolis ‘Tribune today publishes a story that Arthur Lopez, who posed for more than a year as Arthur Frazier, Indian World War soldier, confessed that he was Lopez and then repudiated’ his confession, has been identified by his uncle, Steve Acosta, of Buda, Texas. The identification, the Tribune says, was made through a question- naire which was mailed to‘ Acosta February 28 and the answers mailed back from Buda under date of Mar. Former army “buddies” of Frazier insist that the man identified as Lopez is actually Frazier and have started a public fund to carry on the fight to establish his identity.

He was at his home at the time. The explosion came, he said, after a man had-ealled at the shop and a telephone cajl_had been received at his home making inquiries regarding his connection with the store and jury, He said he had no differences with employees, nor could he attri- bute the attack to an enemy.

Barton, adjutant of the tions of Year Iowa department of the American Legion, has accepted the post of na- tional adjutant, tendered him by Commander J. A. Drain. J. M. Barrie has been for a quar- ter of a century one of the best-loved and most widely-read literary men in the world. —and his greatest work, by far, is “Peter Pan” with Betty Bronson the title role, Ern- est Torrence playing Captain Hook, Mary Brian in the role of Wendy and an ideal cast of players in sup- port, which as picture is being shown at the Eltinge on Friday and Saturday, The story is one of a boy who wouldn't grow up—a story of hap- |piness, of youthful romance, of im- lagination and love. It is primarily a fairy story, but it is a fairy story such as a child might conceive it SUBMARINES “CAVE” U.S, Better Than Airplanes Fleet Maneuvers in Aboard U, S. S. Seattle, At Sea Off Coast of Lower California, March 12. —Submarines, not airplanes, “saved” the United States from invasion in the greatest naval maneuvers ever staged in the Pacific. With the American navy, 109 ships of the line and their auxiliaries, di- vided into two fleets, one an enemy, attempting to establish a base of op- erations ‘on the Mexican coast, and the other defending the great S-type submarines, Uncle Sam’s newest and most powerful undersea fighting craft, dived into their first engage- ment on the side of the defense and wrecked the invaders’ plans. Subs Seek Out Enemy The S-boats, tremendous Water craft, 300 feet Iong witn a cruising radius of thousands . of miles, came from Panama with ol blue scouting fleet and last night sought out the black enemy racing through the moonlit sea to establish a hostile base of operations on Mex- ican seaboard, The black fleet, a backbone of giant dreadnaughts, protecting their supply ships with a fringe of des- troyers guarding its progress. was pear its goal. About nine o'clock the alarm was sounded, but too late —the submarines of the blue defend- ers already had penetrated the black destroyer line and the swift blue scout cruisers, coming up in the rear ‘of the black armada, completed the rout. under- ; Torpedoes Find Marks Several black destroyers opened fire on the S-boats, and one of the latter replied with three’ torpedoes that found their marks in the black line. Then the destroyers of both clash- | ed in the fight and a battle royal be- tween destroyers and submarines fol- lowed, While this battle was raging, the blue scout cruisers bore down on the rear of the black battle line and the invaders were repulsed. aunEniaeemeemmmmeme=—— —1 Universal Shoe Shop First Class Shoe Repairing 111-5thSt. Bismarck, N. has ever entertained before.
