OUTLOOK BRIGHT
Despite the Los. Of Three Stars
Willmar Win Produce a
Fast CUNT

The first turnout for practice by
those interested in Wllmar city
basketball quint was held this even
ing at the high school gymnasium.
This evening of each week is to be
set aside for the city basketball five
for practice from the hours of $50
to 8 o'clock. During this one and one
half hour much intensive work can be
accomplished. It is possible additional
time may be obtained by the quint in
the high school gymnasium.
The Willmar quint this year will not
be limited. to the American legion or
ex-service men but to anyone desiring
to try for berth on the team. In a
still broader sense the team berths
are open to- anyone in Willmar and
vicinity. What is desired is good
players. ~~ - Ii s-''aF .. >%''"-' ~ > y ~
Willmar has lost three of it's last
seasons best players. Harold Sever
inson is attending the state university
this year and has already pushed him
self to the front rank in the competi-
ton 10 rthe forward positions. Local
fans will watch with eager interest
Seve's progress. Orlean Christian is
enrolled at Parker college and Will
mar lost fast and untiring guard
Hartwick, the powerful guard, is in
structing athletics at Parker college
this year.
With these men absent from the five
it would appear that Willmar would
posses crippled line beyond recovery.
This, hoWever,is not the condition. Nor
ling, Branton, Nordstrom, Trebi!cock
and Beese are left to us and their
ability is we'll known. Much new ma
terial is also in sight. Among new
prospects might be cited DR.. Hodapp
of the Wil!mar clinic and Prof. Hoidal
of the local high school faculty. DR..
Hodapp was member of the Mankato
college five for several years and Prof.
HOidahl is letter man from St. Olaf's
college.
The American Legion has for some
time planned Seventh District bas-
ketball league and committees have

! tails. 1t is hoped that the plans can
be completed so that this season wilt
see basketball schedule which, by
proper elimination, will finally deter
mine the district leader.

lost to Battery A of Minneapolis last
