| Summary: | INTRA-MURAL SEASON IS NOW ON The Intra-Mural basketball tourna-ment is now on. All the classes have turned out the best material they possess in an endeavor to win the College Championship. So far there have been a few upsets of the dope bucket, and at the present time it is impossible to predict the winner. SOPHS 34—JUNIORS 18 The sophomores took one more step towards their second annual class championship by defeating the juniors, winners of the first round of tournament. The game was fast and could not be altogether chai*acterized by clean playing. The junior defense was paralyzed the first half and the sophs after a period of easy scoring walked off triumphantly with an 18 to 2 score. During the second half the juniors found themselves and gave the sophs plenty of hot competition. Both teams scored 16 points. For the losers Jacobson led with four baskets while Bermel gave the sophs five baskets. The insertion of "Nurmi" Peltola brought the spectators to their feet with wild applause. Nurmi showed the fans that he still had good condition and ran the length of the gym twice without calling for a rest. FROSH 30—SENIORS 10 The seniors were looking up at a 30 to 10 score in the opening game of the second round of the class tour-nament During the opening stanza the Frosh were unable to connect with the basket and the score stood 6 to 2 in their favor. In the second half, led by Williams and Solberg the Frosh virtually smothered the seniors with double-counters. The senior offense could not break through the frosh defense and accepted the cen-ter of the floor for their distance. SENIORS 26—SOPHS 24 The accurate shooting of one Eugene Peltola who annexed 18 of the counters made by the Seniors spelled defeat for the Sophomores in a fast, furiously fought game the afternoon of March 15. The Sophomores with such stars as Johnson> Thoreson, Ed-lund, and Bermel were doped to win easily, but as has often happened in the past, the seniors through fight and determination overcome all ob-stacles and romped away with the victory. In addition to Peltola's deadly accuracy in shooting, stellar work was done by Reuben Halvorson and Martin Rafshol. JUNIORS 24—SENIORS 23 In a rather spectacular game the Juniors took the measure of the Sen-iors 24-23. At the end of the half the Juniors walked off the floor with a six point lead. The Seniors came back strong in the second half and made the score 23-18 in their favor. However, by dint of hard driving the Juniors managed to annex enough points to make the score 24-23 in their favor when the final whistle blew. • FROSH 26—SOPHS 18 The hard driving Freshmen de-feated the Sophomores to the tune of 26-18. Superior team work for the Frosh was the big factor in the Sophs' down-fall. Then too, the SophB did have heartbreaking luck in their shooting. Bermel was the big gun for the Sophomores while among the Fresh-men honors were pretty evenly di-vided, Kail and Williams being per-haps the most outstanding.

Moorhead earned this cov-eted position by victories over War-ren and Benson. The scores were 34-14 and 22-17 respectively. Moor-head played "head up" ball through-out the tournament with alternations of a short passing, driving attack and a back-court, waiting game. They were hard pressed in their games and were forced to show their superiority against stubborn opposi-tion. Moorhead will be matched against Faribault, winners in the Seventh Region Thursday, March 24. LAWRENCE DEVELOPS STRONG BASKET-BALL QUINT Karl "Larry" Lawrence, '26 who is now coaching at Warren, Minnesota has just finished a very successful basketball season. With rather green material to work with, "Larry" de-veloped a team that suffered but two defeats in his district, and that was in the early part of the season. Due to his coaching the t cam came through to win from such strong aggregation as Thief River Falls, Stephen, and Argyle, and to capture the district championship.

Roald Amundson To Give Lecture (Continued from page 1) reached it before. And so, at the age of 54, he has been characterized as the "world's greatest explorer". From his youth upward Captain Amundsen has spoken English fluent-ly and has displayed natural gifts as a public speaker. This fact was evi-denced on his two previous visits to this country, when he attracted rec-ord- breaking audiences and thrilled his hearers by his graphic account of adventures in frozen regions. His forthcoming lecture, which will be splendidly illustrated, will not only embody the most amazing story of the Arctic that has ever been relat-ed, but will also eclipse all previous narrations from the standpoint of sheer human interest.
