Prior to Monday evening of last
week the Fergus Falls Legionaires
allowed they had a pretty nifty bas-
ket ball team in fact with the as
sistance of a, home referee they had
been cleaning up all corners. One
night Of the week before they had
met and defeated the fast Bemidji
! sauint by a score Of 21-22, although
lit was necessary to call rs fouls on
Bemidji to put the game on ice.
B The return game between Fergus
land Sank Centre was played on the
local floor Monday evening. Sank
Center has signed Joe Guyon to
play center for the balance1of the
season and if any one should hap
pen to ask you this "gny" is reg
sallar man at this position. There IS
"a young fei .ow living up the BemldJl
way by the name of ~Plummer who
requested to play the forward posi-
stion. He, was just a trifle peeved in
the manner in which the Fergus
team had handed it to the 'Bemidji
.squint and offered his services to the
local quint for this particular game.
This necissitated a shake up in the
local aggregation but the, boys being
sall for one and one for all readjusted
the Sank Centre team for this par
Eticular occasion.
S. During the afternoon the big cen
ster from Fergus informed the local
I fans that no living man could keep
him from scoring. He was quietly in
formed that the local bunch would
make a monkey out of him before
the evenings play was over, Guyon
smothered him at center. After the
locals had the game safely slowed
away Tanner and Plummer would
dribble the ball in front of this bird,
practically begging him to try and
take it away from him much to the
delight of the crowd. He did not
score single point. The locals
scored "a points and could just as
well had as many more, while the
visitors managed to get six baskets
with a total of IL points.
On last Friday the local high school
team ran up against the strongest
opposition it has met in two years.
The Long Prairie team presented
defense that locals could not pene-
trate. The boys game ended II to
10 in favor of Long Prairie. The
high school girls team defeated the
Long Prairie girls SO to %. Alice
Allen made % points and Corene
Schroeder IA points. Fred Meyers
was the heavy scorer for the boys.
A good yarn reaches the Herald
from st. Cloud by grapevine which
relates how the "sure thing" sports of
the Granite City were trimmed out of
a cool 500 buck few days ago by the
the thread-bare "rube game" Ac-
cording to the yarn rather gawky,
ragged and apparently dirty stranger
dropped into town and proceeded to
make general nuisance HUf himself
about poolhalls, barbersh0ps and 9TH
err places where men gather. He az
lowed he was "rastler" and could
throw any man in that locality for
money, chalk or marbles, but mostly
money. The story goes on to say
that he made such a nuisance of him-
self that the police finally : picked
him up for "vag" and took him to !
the. station. On giving him the "once
over the officers discovered he had
roll Of money big enough to choke a
horse, and he was turned loose. 1t
was about this time that the sports
of st. Cloud began to demonstrate
