1C SSHt OUT Dy the clfculatl0n depart
ment of the Minneapolis Tribune.
With all the doubtful precincts
| heard from the Herald can state with
certainty that the game advertised
-or Friday evening at the armory
vii not take place There is a little
history in connection with this al.
eyed game which indicates that
the local Legion has been swindled
out of $25. So the story goes a fell
low who was in service with a coup
le. OF Sank Centre men dropped into
town week or so ago and stated
that he was soliciting for, the Min
neapolis Tribune and, as, an advertis-
ing stunt if the local Legion would
subscribe for five subscriptions of
the Tribune they would send their
basket ball team to Sau,s Centre for
game with the local auint. Not
outstanding the fact that Arnold
oss is assistant coach for the univer-
sity basket shooters this fellow
claimed that Oss would head the
team which would CO .e to Sank
Centre on Friday night and the rest
OF the outfit would be men who had
won their spurs on the basketball
floor.
The money was paid and the So
i1c1tor CD gave receipt for it.
But it now appears that the Tribune
hasn't any basket ball team repre-
sentlng the circulation department.
and the fellow in question was
fraud, so if you have been planning
to attend Friday evenings game it
is quite safe for you to make other
arrangements.
The game last Saturday evening
at the Junior High School Auditor
ium between the Legioraires and
the Service Co., 9th Regiment
M. N. G., St. Paul, proved to be
rather soft for the locals. 1t is
said that the st. Paulites came to
town with record of eight victories
and one defeat. The locals did not
get going good in the first half,
but they piled up scores in the Sec
ond almost at will. The final score
was ALT in favor of the Sank Cen
tire quint.
From any angle, the snappiest
game played on the local floor this
season, was the contest Monday ev-
ening between the Robert Swift Post
and the World War Veterans of Mel
rose. The local line up was shifted
for this game, "Pip"- Hanson and
Piummer playing forwards with Tan
ner as running guard. s Joe Guyon
was at center and Dewey O'Gara at
guard. It was generally felt that
this bunch should win in a walk
over the best that Melrose could
produce. The bulwark of the Mel
fose quint was club" Wagner who
received basket ball training as Il
student of the Sank Centre high
school, and in spite of. the fact that
he was strongly guarded by Dewey
OaGaaca he would break away from
time to time and score field bas-
ket.
While the game was very interest
ing to watch it was evident that Sank
Centre has it on Melrose. The
entire local team played corking
good game but "Pip" Hanson was the
particular star with 10 field baskets,
Piummer came next with seven,
Guyon made four, while Tanner had
three baskets and one free throw.
The final score was 1890 in favor
of Sank Centre. Coach Morgan of
the high school team, as referee, gave
entire satisfaction There is no re
fierce working on the local floor who
gets as much basket ball and speed
out of two teams in a given length
of tigne as will Mr.. Morgan.
