one Ho Ample Opportunities ‘Offered |» Mandanites to Participate | | Dan Cupid Busy in i In Athletics |__Morton Last Year Dan Cupid was busier in Mor- ton county in 1930 than he WAS in 1929, according to marriage license figures released by B W. Shaw, Morton county judge. Morton county issued 34 more marriage licenses this year than last. During 1929 figures show _ that 151 licenses were issued, while in 1930 there were 185 pér- mits given out. October led all months in the number of licenses issued with 37. November was second with 23. Third highest in the number is- sued is December with 20. June, the month of brides, was fifth with only 17 on record, while September was fourth with a total of 18 licenses issued. NEW BUILDINGS AND IMPROVEMENTS COST $77,215 IN MANDAN “Athletics for all” was developed with a more than fair degree of suc- cess in Mandan during 1930, a review of sports activities for the 12-months period reveals. Though Mandan teams and indi- viduals failed to win any state ath- letic championships, residents of the Morton county city nevertheless had | ample opportunity to exercise by par- ticipating in any one of several sports. Starting the year with basketball,‘ Mandan high school's team made a great showing, winning the first of its two scheduled games with Bis- marck, the team which later won the state championship. i Basketball The Braves, under the direction of Athletic Director Leonard C, McMa- han, romped off with the fifth dis- trict championship by defeating Ashley by one point in the thrilling district final game. The Mandan team, though it lost the regional championship to Bismarck the fol- lowing week, nevertheless forced the team which was destined to become state champion to the limit. Mandan high school came out in the spring with a strong track and field team, one which placed near the top in all the meets in which it participated and which ended in fifth place at the state track and field, mect at the state university. Track and field activity gave way to baseball. kittenball, and golf. Interest appeared lacking in base- ball, although the Mandan White pagers Sox, which played a few games, wes Were it not for the Northern Pa- made of local performers.

During part of the luncheon music In a game replete with’ thrills the Mandan high school cagers lost 30-23 last night to a veteran Mandan alumni outfit. Although the alumni had very little practice together, they smothered their younger opponents with accur- | ate long-range shooting. They effec- tively combined @ man-to-man de- fense with a five-man defense that; the high school quint could not break. through. During the early part of the first quarter, the Braves put up a Tagged | passing attack, but their defense functioned well probably due to the fact that the alumni crew was un-' familiar with the Mandan floor. At the end of the first quarter the count stood 5-2 in favor of the alumni. When the half closed the alumni! squad was at the long end of a 20-9! count, but the high school five staged a terrific rally to even the count to 22 all to close the third period. Opening the fourth quarter with » long goal, the high school team was favored to win.
