BASKET BALL PROSPECTS FOR • 1924-19%) SEASON PROMISING Coach Ringstad Hopes to Be Able to Fill Places Vacated Graduates—Practice Will Begin About Nov. 1

The music faculty of P. L. C. give its annual complimenrecltal in the College gymnasium on Saturday evening. November 8, at 7:30 o'clock.'
FACULTY MEMBERS TO GIVE PROGRAMS Pres. O .J. Ordal, together with the music faculty of P. L. C. consisting of Mrs.- P .L. Hauge. Miss Lillian Lund, and Miss Vangie Loeffler. are to give the entire program at the, evening session of the LutherDay Festival, to be held at Bremerton, Washington, on Sunday, November 9. Pres. Ordal is also to^ preach at the morning session on tfie same day. The festival at Bremerton is under the auspices of the lo^ cal Lutheran church, of which Rev. Ramstad is pastor, and the Lutheran Brotherhood, of which Rev, Hoken-
stad is secretary.
Coach Ringstad thinks basket ball prospects for the'1924-1925 season are fairly promising. Although three of his last year's first string men have been lost thru graduation, all the others are back at school, and there is some new material that may be' hammered into shape. Coach Ringstad predicts a good year. With the . loss of Alfred Samulej son. last year's Captain and center, the P. L. C. leaA Is In for a handicap, at least during the first of the season, while a suitable man is being worked into '"Sam's" place. The ' last year's leader was a "go and get>um" and one of the main springs of the team. His loss is certain to be felt, as will also the loss of Ralph Knutzen,. guaTd, and "Monte" Wanglow, who played sub-forward. These men were good hard workers of the kind that cannot be readily duplicated. In spite of these losses thru graduation, the situation isn't hopeless. As the sSylug goes, "there are more fish in the sea." At least
