HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS WIN.

For the first time this year the High
School girls, basketball team made it's
appearance when on Friday evening they
met and defeated the St. James girls
team by score of 1872.
The game was a one-sided affair from
start to finish, as the visiting team was
unable to do anything. The local for
wards, Louise Fritsche, Gladys Grussen-
dorf and Ellen Ochs were far superior
to those of the visitors, while our ards,
as the score indicates, played in stellar
fashion.
Nora Rsef was the only player on the
st. James team able to secure basket
and that was in the last minute of the
game. The score at the end of the first
half was IA too. ~-.

JUNIORS WIN THE INTER CLASS
CHAMPIONSHIP.

Friday night the Juniors won the
interclass basketball championship by
defeating the Sophomores Is to 8.
The first game of the interclass series
was played several weeks ago when the
Juniors defeated the Freshmen team in
a one-sided contest % to 2. The second
game, between the Seniors and the Sohpo-
mores, was one Of the most spirited
contests ever played in an interclass
series, not only the players playing their
best, but the rooters each doing their
best to cheer their respective teams on
to victory. The game was fight from
start to finish, the difference between
the two scores never being more than
four points and when the referee whistle
blew the second year boys were victors
2O-18.
Fridays game was also close one, the
score at the end of the first half being
6-5 in favor of the Sophomores. In the
second half, however, the Juniors played
rings around their opponents, the close
guarding Of the Junior guards keeping
the Sophomore score down, while the
teamwork and passing of the Junior
forwards, 1rrgang and Burg, completely
broke up the Sophomore defensive.
In the girls series the Juniors also
came out victorious, The first game was
between the Freshmen and Sophomore
teams in which the latter came out
victorious. The next game was between
the Senior and, Junior teams. After the
Junior team had piled up nice lead, the
Senior team suddenly awoke and five
minute squirt put them in the lead by
one point. In the last few seconds of
play, however, Louise Fritsche, the
Junior forward, arose to the occasion and
dropped the ball in the net for the winning
point. The final score was 1918 in
favor of the Juniors. . ~.
In the game between the Sophomores
and the Juniors for the class champion
ship, the latter accomplished feat never
before witnessed on the local floor. They
held the Sophomores scoreless, while they
ran up total of 81 points, thus giving
them the championship.
The pictures of the two winning teams
will be hung on the walls of fame of
the high school building. Last year the
Junior girls also won the girls champion
ship, while the Junior boys won the inter-
class championship in their freshmen
year. However, none of the boys that
played on the winning team two years
ago played with the Juniors this year.
All are either playing on the first team
or are ineligible.

HOW TO SELECT SEED WHEAT

Why not unite upon MARQUIS, and cut
out the others? Blue Stem and Fife are
very good but it is better to grow the same
KIND and get better price. -
Screen your seed and fan out all trash,
immature kernels, weed seeds, wild oats,
etc., leaving the seed to be planted the
heaviest you have, with an equal amount
of plant food in each kernel, which will
cause it to mature at the same time, max
ing less waste at harvest. 1t all ought to
get ripe at the same time.
Examine your seed closely to see whether
1t contains bunt or Sinking smut and treat
your seed with formaldehyde before sowing,
How much of your seed will grow? It is
easy to test it. Take an ordinary piece Of
blotting paper, wet it, fold it over in the
middle, to open like book, count 100 seeds
just as they run into the blotting paper, put
strip of rag about ten inches long in the
fold of the blotter, wrap it up in piece of
butter paper (greased paper), wet the whole
thing, then hang the wick in a glass of
water like lamp, put the test on top of the
glass, do not let it dry out or freeze. After
six or seven days, open it and count so
many kernels strong, SO MANY weak, so

SLEEPY EYE DoWNED.

Honors between Sleepy Eve High.
School and New Ulm High School in
athletic events are standing in favor of
the New U!m High just at present. The
boys forged ahead in victories last
Friday and revenged 'the never-to-be-
forgotten" football score of last fall by
handing the Sleepy Eye quintet their
second defeat this year in basketball by
score of Al to "a.
The first half was evenly fought, the
score at the end of that period being 10
to IL in favor of New Ulm. After ten
minutes of play Ernie Schleuder, the
New Ulm forward, got into a discussion
with one Of the Sleepy Eye boys, who
tried to trip him and was eliminated from
the game.
In the second game the New Ulm
five played ante-over with our western
neighbors and found the net for total
of % points, bringing their score up to
Al. Sleepy Eye scored another twelve
points during this time. III;
Herbert Kogge was the star of this
game for. besides playing a good game
at guard, he scored six baskets. Mully
Herzog was also in top notch form and
scored five field baskets off the Sleepy
Eye guard. Hauser, because of his
length, was the only Sleepy Eye man able
to do any damage. Twelve of their
points were made thru him, the remain
ing twelve being divided among the other
members of the team. ...s.

SCHELLS FAIL TO SCORE.

Never count your chickens before
they are Matched" The old saw can
well be applied to some of our New Ulm
bowlers, who before the tournament
were loud in their speech as to the big
scores they were going to make. Worse
than that, tho, is the fact, that they even
dared to laugh at the scores made by the
New Ulm rollers that bowled in the
tournament a week ago Sunday.
The team as a whole rolled a fairly
good score, 1888. This, however, fell
several pins shy towards money as the
lowest score to get money was 1897.
During. the three games, fifteen breaks
were made, an average of one break a
man for each game. "A large number of
splits were encountered, most of which
were of the 81, 4-7-10 and As kind.
In the singles. and doubles the New
Ulm contingent fell considerably shy of
the amount they intended to make.
Elmer Backer was the only man to get
single money worth mentioning. He
got Sc on his score of $751;, In the doubles
Naber and Fl. Dahms, who rolled the
first day of the tournament and knocked
total of 1898 pins, got about Both place
which netted them nearly $40. Coach
Seifert and Glen Lucas rolled total of
1889 pins IN their doubles which I'M
doubtedly will bring them some money.

1t does not shell out and waste so
badly as Blue Stem, Red Fife, or
Velvet Chat, during harvest. This
is true of it even when over-ripe.
The straw is shorter and sitter,
hence in dry year it suffers less

suffers less from lodging.
