SAUK CENTRE LOSES HARD
FOUGHT FOOTBALL GAME
10 ST. CLuUD LAST FkiDAY

The near sporting editor of the ST.
Cloud Times is apparently more
actuated by the desire to take a
"wallop" at the individuals of an OPP
posing team than he is in publishing
the facts. This attitude crops out IN
his write-up of the st. Cloud
Sank Centre High School foot ball
game played in the Granite City last
Friday afternoon.
Lloyd Tanner, member OF the
Sank Centre team, has been a severe
thorn III the flesh of this st. Cloud
sc1ioe on previous occasions and ne
could not resist the temptation IN tie
Saturday paper to fay Tanner and
incidentally belittle the entire Sauk
Centre team.
Coach Schroeder and the osam pss'
turned from st. Cloud speaking in the
highest terms of the treatment ac-
corded them by coach Schropps ana
students. The game was hardfought
and Sank Centre literally played ths
st. Cloud off their feet during the
first three quarters of the game. The
Granite City lads used variation OF
the famous minnesota shift" in the
last quarter with telling effect, WIN
ming the game by score OF 81 to 70,
The cub who is doing the sports fc
the Times will perhaps learn sosae
day that it will pay best to be decent
and honest in covering sport events
It is hoped that he will develop SUI
fciently to give visiting athletes To
his town a square deal, even though
he may not personally like one OF the
members of the visiting team. In mis-
story he said something about Tanner
and others on the Sank Centre team
being ineligible because OF having
passed the age limit. If the st. Clouo
coach had not been certain that-every
man on the Sank Centre team was
eligible, it is a mortal cinch 1hat ne
would have protested each individual
For the edification of the Times re-
porter the Herald will tip it off 70
him that the school board OF this city
mart in thletics being up in his stud
insists upon every student taxing
les and they must meet every Other
qualification of high school athletics
The Herald takes it for granted thai
st. Cloud also follows this same
policy. In order that the Times re-
porter may not go off "half-cocked,
on this subject again the Herald Il
plaased to publish for his instructor
herewith the ruling recently made by
the state Board of Control OF Hlgf
School Athletics relative to boys wi1t
served in the recent war, as follows:
Regarding the age-limit rule al
applied to boys who enlisted during
the war, the State Board of Contro
has made the following ruling: ANY
high school boy who enlisted in the
army. navy or marines will not bt
disqualified from High School athie
tics by reason of age until he has at
tanned the age of 81 years plus ilr
term of enlistment. He will however
be required to meet all other eligible
ity requirements. +"
The real big game of the year OF
the Sank Centre gridiron will take
place Saturday afternoon at 2:3l
when Sank Centre will meet the
fast Little Falls high school team
Judging bv past performances this
panne should be very close. Sank
Centre has twice defeated Lone Prai,
RE by iug-hardled scores and Little
Falls has defeated th.sm once by
similar score. Be on hand and boos'
for the home team
