Grand Forks Herald: .
Noting In your Sunday morning
issue OF May l an article relative to
a crusade against the crows and
Of East Grand Forks and vcin-
ity. l am venturing to raise a voice Of
protest against the crusade itself and
the advertising OF 1t in your paper.
So far rs the crow is concerned, he
is, to be ure a neighbor of question
able character. and VI could perhaps
dispense with him so far as his actual
value is concerned. But 1t is only fair
to give the devil his due, and to say
that the is not as black az he
looks or as he is frequently painted.
He probably destroys q good many Of
the nests and eggs of other birds, pulls
up a certain amount Of young corn
and makes him obnoxious in var
ious ways. but OF the other hand does
a large amount OF good through the
destruction Of injurious insects, par
ticularly in early summer when the
young are being raised.
So 4 as the hawks are concerned,
it Is a yer mistaken idea which CLASH
fies them all az hen hawks''. and
attributes to them solely the charac-
ter of the robber of the poultry yard.
There are a few hawks, to be sure.

comes to the local gym for the second
home game of the season on Friday Of
this week Brookville is reported to
have q much stronger team than last
wear and the locals expect a battle
royal Special effort is being made to
r-andle big crowd, for the rivalry be
tween these teams has always been
very keen. The margin of victory
which Connersville had over Brook
Vile. compared to the LibertyConners-
Vile score. indicates that the game
Friday should be very close.
Liberty has beaten the Franklin
county lads for several seasons now,
and Coach Tomlinson is not backward
in stating that his team is going to
take the measure of the Scarlet this
time. The big improvement shown by
the locals in the game here last Friday
points to much better record for the
remaining games on the schedule.

STENGER'S NET men
} PRACTIClNG OVERTIME
FOR FRIDAYS FRAY

With three big practices in view be-
fore the Elkhart high school game
on the Coliseum floor Friday night,
the local high school basketball men
will have their hands full in prepare
ton for their first home game of the
present season. Tuesday afternoon,
the Stenger lads were to hold a big
practice session in the Coliseum, spe-
cializing in password. shooting and
speed on offense. On Wednesday ana
Thursday afternoons, the high school
ers will hold joint practice period
with the Earlham quintet under the
direction of Coaches Move and
Stenger.
Coach Stenger is not only making
efforts to develop the men for the
games on the schedule this season,
but is also looking forward to next
year for materials and is therefore
looking after the underclassmen to
see that there is goodly number out
for the experience and training.
At present the team is going through
several changes and various shifts
which will tend to round it into cham
pionship shape for the remainder OF
the season. No man on the team is
sure of his position at any time, and
the men who started last Fridays
game are having to work as hard as
ever for the keeping of their position
Several underclassmen have been
showing real ability and bid fair tc
make the upperclassmen step at tor
speed for positions on the quintet.
Given Basket instruction
The team is being coached on &C
curate basket shooting. This factor
of the game was the outstanding
weakness of the entire lineup in the
Hinitial tilt of the season at Milroy las
: Friday. Stenger is urging his men tt
hold the ball in both hands with {
firm grip and arch it into the air
This form enables the ball to drol
through the ring of the basket witt
much more precision, and is the only
scientific method of shooting, accord
ing to Move and Stenger.
The men who are showing the mos
promise for berths on the Red ant
White basketball aggregation thi
year are Harkins, Rost, Mattox, Graf
fis, Green, Kennedy, SchumakeG
Spaulding and Kessler. From thi
number of men Coach Stenger is en-
deavoring to develop a squad of mel
to combat any team which is SEIZED
uled to meet the locals this year

REAL BASKET SCRAP
PROMISED WEDNESDAY

Next on the American Legion bas-
ketban list will be the strong Indianap-
oils X. of c. ex-service mems school,
which will appear on the Coliseum
floor Wednesday night, in what prom
ises to be a hard fought battle. The
Legion basketeers are making extra
preparations for this game and expect
to come out on the long end of the
score.
The Indianapolis team is composed
of many of the players who represent
ed the Merchants Heat and Light, OF
Indianapolis, last season and who took
the locals measure on two occasions.
Every effort will be made to avenge
these defeats. The wearers of the Old
Gold will be in the pink of condition
for the fray.
Hank Stevens and Johnny Hennesey
will play the forward positions for the
invading five. Both men are fast. In
the pivot position either Rice or I'm
derwood will work
Tubby Stevens and Secrest will
work in the guard department, with
Stevens working the floor guard posi-
ton and Secrest lining up in the back
guard position until after the tip off
when he plays the center position in
place of Rice. These two men form
very formidable defense and the Leg
ion forwards will find them very hard
to get around.
The first game of the evening will
be played between the Centerville
high school five and the Cambridge
City high team. These two teams are
evenly matched and a goor fast game
is expected. This game is called for

LOCAL COLORED five
LOSES TO BUCCANEERS

The Richmond A. C.'s (colored bas-
ketball team dropped their first game
of the season to the Indianapolis Buc-
cancers (colored), on the Coliseum
floor Monday night by the score of p
10 49, Inability of the locals to hit
the basket cost them the game. The
game was fast and hard fought.
A rally in the final five minutes OF
play nearly won the game for the
A. C.'s when they opened the bonn
hardment on the Indianapolis goal, but
the basket on many easy chances prov
ed fatal to them. In this period the
locals had many open easy chances
but could not connect.
The Indianapolis lads played good
clean, fast, snappy brand of game and
their pass work was too much for the
A. C.'s to break up.
J. Long, forward for the visitors, was
the bright light of the game, making
10 of the teams points. He was all
over the floor and in the thickest Of
the battle continually. He connected
for six goals from the field and foul
from the free throw line.
Hill and Ross were the bright lights
for the locals. Hill was the heavy
scorer. The work of Ross at back
guard was especially noteworthy Hill
scored 10 points during the contest
eight from the field and two from the
foul line.
