WlLLMAR SATURDAY
Probable Champion. Of End Dist.
rict VIII Meet Local
Quint

Those who recall the record
of the Minneota High School
basketball team last year when
it lost the championship Of the
Second District by only 2 points
will have an opportunity to see
the very same team in action
next Saturday evening, Dec.
18th, at the new High School
gymnasium. No member of
last years squad has graduated
and to all appearances the
Minneota squad will go to the
State contest this year repre-
senting the End district.
This game will be the first
real tussle Of the season and
will give Willmar a chance to
show her actual strength and
knowledge of the game. Coach
Trebilcock is devoting much
time to his men in preparation
for the tilt and promises to
send his force into the game
poised to do or die. With two
fast teams on a large and fully
modern floor there ought to be
plenty Of excitement. and
thrills. Willmar's victory
would mean much toward de-
feating; teams in this district
when the schedule begins. The
effect on the 7th District teams
of a Willmar victory would
psychologically be to Willmars
advantage.
Coach Trebilcock will send
in practically the same team as
opposed Maynard with an ab-
undance of advice for each
player to correct weaknesses.

BAG THREE MOOSE
IN COOK COUNTY
Sunburg and Brooten Nimrods
Went After Big
Game

A company of six big game
hunters from Sunburg and vi
cinity recently went to Cook
County near Grand Marais and
brot home three moose. The
party consisted of Oscar 1ver-
son and julius Sandvik of Gil
christ, DR.. Sam Shipstead apd
julie Kildahl of Brooten, CLAUS
Gandrud of Hayes and N. T.
Gunnufson of Sunburg. Ar
irving at Grang Marais the
hunters employed guide and
penetrated inland to near
Greenwood Lake, the best
moose country left in the state.
The four first named remained
only a week, and ,brot home a
bull moose killed by julie Kill
dahl. Messrs Gandrud and
Gunnufson' remained for more
of the sport and arrived home
last Thursday with each a
large bull moose. Mr.. Gunnuf-
sons moose was an object OF
great curiosity at Sunburg on
Friday, attracting nearly ev-
cry visitor to the busy little
town of Sunburg during the
day.
While there is lots of fun in
hunting moose, the successful
hunter has no little labor in
bringing out the carcass of his
prize from the woods. It re-
quired two days of hard work
for Mr.. Gunnufson to skid his
moose out of the woods to {
road where it could be trans
| ported on a truck to Crane
Marais. It was shipped by
boat to Duluth and thence
home by express.
