er prosperous season in basket ball
this year, as they have Erickson, Holt,
Severinson, Limperich and several
others Of last years squad to build a
team around.
It is hoped that Will can be repre-
sented by a city basket ball team this
year, as there are plenty Of good play
ers in the city, to make up a team.
Among those who would play, except.
ing the high school and Seminary men,
are-Harsted, Nordstrom, Buck John.
son, and Bill Johnson. With these
four as a nucleus, a very fast team
could be developed.
Ivan Dart was in hard luck last Sat.
urday at the football game at Willma1
with the high school team of that
place. In the scrimmage between the
teams he received a badly splintered
collar bone. The injury is quite com
plicated, and may require consider
able operation to get the bones wired
together. It would seem that the Will
mar players may be pretty rough in
their play. Two or three weeks age
la member Of the MontevideO team
which played Willmar was so badly in
jured that death ensued.-Litchfield
Independent.
We hardly think that Litchf1eld is
justified in saying that the Willma1
team plays a rough game, and that is
the cause Of the two accidents that
have happened this season. It is q
well known fact that the accident al
Montevideo would not have happened
had the player worn a head gear.
II we are not mistaken, during the
Litchf1eld-Hectorg game of few weeks
ago, a Hector player was badly hurt
and Mcclure, a Litchf1eld man also
was injured. Anyone knowing football
and having seen the locals play, know
that they play hard, but not unneces
sarily rough.

Sporting Dope Of Interest.

Owing to the fact that the local
high school team was in crippled
condition following the hard game
with Litchfield the week before, and to
the fact that several of the best men
on the squad were ineligible last week,
due to scholastic troubles, the game
scheduled last Friday afternoon with
st. Cloud was cancelled. This was a
disappointment to many local follow
ers as they wanted to see the Sanity
city team in action. Under the circum-
stances, tho, it was the wisest thing
to do.
Arrangements for the high school
alumni game on the 26th of this month
have been almost completed and at
this writing it looks as if the game
will be certainty. This should be a
thriller from start to finish, and the
spectators are assured of their mon
ey's worth. Each team is confident
of victory, and as they are fairly even
ly matched the game should be close.
Whether Carlson and Hanscom will be
in the Alumni line up is not known,
but If they are not, the best possible
players will be chosen to fill their
places.
A glimpse at the detailed accounts
Of the games that Carleton has played
this year shows just how valuable Ar.
chic Carlson has been to the team this
season. He has scored at least one
touchdown in every game that he has
played, and in several he has crossed
the goal line two or three times. In
the game with Grinnell few weeks
ago, he scored the first three touch.
downs made by his team, the last one
being from a run of 81 yards.
So far this year Carleton has es'
tablished the wonderful record OF
scoring 3O1 points, while their oppo
nents have yet to cross their line.
The Seminary basket ball team
plans on invading New London on
Friday evening of this week, and in
Producing this popular indoor sport tc
the people Of that village. This will
be the first game played around here
this year, and the local team should
have little difficulty in winning. The
Seminary team this year is almost ar
entirely new one. Nelson and Orlear
Christian of last years squad are the
only ones back in school altho it is
expected that Emil Rannestad, Tin
Norling and AL Aim will enroll for the
winter term. Then AL Kannikkabere
who developed into a good performer
last season may come back.
The high school should enjoy anoth
