The boys team added another scalp
to their growing list when they de-
feated the Granite Falls team, referee,
crowd and all at the latter place last
Saturday evening. The final score
was 40 to ~.
The first half looked like a runaway
for the Willmar bunch and the score
was q to II, but the home team
came back very strong in the latter
part of the contest and made a strong
bid for honors.
Severinson had a lot Of fun, as u.s.
ual. He scored q of the points made
by his team, baskets from the field
and II fouls. Johnston playing at the
the floor, and he dropped in three
baskets, two of them being from the
center of the floor.
Erickson at center was up against
pretty good man. 1t was the boast
of the Granite contingent that he
had held his man without basket in
every game played this season, so
just to start the ball a rolling, Eckie
dropped one in, and then satisfied
himself with sticking to the defensive
end of the argument. Holt, at run
ming guard played a swell game, max
ing two nice baskets, and covering
his man we'll. Hedberg at stationery
guard took care of his end Of the
argument in good shape and got in
the team work nicely.
For Granite Falls Hela at center
did most Of the scoring, with fifteen
points to his credit. Berg at forward
also played good game. The game
was exceedingly rough, 10 fouls being
called on Granite, and 16 on Willmar

LITTLE THINGS TO REMEMBER

Have a door in the outside wall near

place the ice in the refrigerator with
out coming into the house. Some re-
frigerators can be iced Directly from
the outside.
If there is not to be back stair
case, plan, if possible, an entrance
that will not take the maid through
the living-room. In many houses this
can be arranged by having an opening
under the stair landing. This will de-
pend entirely upon the house, of course
but it is an item not to be overlooked
when the plans are being made.
