The high school boys team showed
championship class when it defeated
Genwood, on the Glenwood, floor
70 to, 8. Even the most enthusiastic
suppol ters of thes local team ex-
pected our boys to get beat. The
loss OF Don Lewis did not keep the
Sank Centre quintet from winning
TO say the game was rough would be
putting it mild. Jack Dempsey hasn't
got much on some Of the players
playing that night. Ted Lewis was
injured in the early part of the
game, and a physician had to be sum
saoned to his aid. Glenwood only.
made two baskets and secured the
other four points by free throws. It
did the boys good to trim Glenwood,
and there is enough credit in the vic
tory to be divided among the entire
team. ~se"'.

College of that city. The team rep
resenting Sank Centre was made up

The double header Basket Ball
game scheduled last evening between
he Sank Centre and Osakis high
school teams was called off Wednes-
lay by the Osakis school authorities
because of the severe storm.
These games will be played Thurs
day evening of next week. Osakis
5 the only high school team which
mas defeated Sank Centre this year,
lad in order to keep in the district
race the locals must win next Thurs
day night. This will be one of the
big games of the year.
Monday evening the Sank Centre
Legionaires met the very speedy Co.
K. 9th Regiment team of Bemidji in
game which proved to be very in
teresting to the large audience, in
spite of the fact that the locals were
on the short end of the score. Sank
centre has no alibi to offer in losing
his contest as it was simply a ques-
ton of well trained athletics working
against team very strong potent
ialy but shy on the necessary train
ing to bring home the bacon" The
final score was 24-15 in favor of the
visitors.
On Tuesday evening the Legion
cam made little journey to Melrose
10 meet the War Veterans quint of
the railroad town. Any time Melrose
and Sank Centre meets in an athletic
contest there is real game on.
Because of injury to Dr. Gales an
kle in Tuesday evenings game Nc
Ginnis, center for the Bemidji team,
was taken along by Sank Centre.
This man is a wonder at the pivot
position and aided materially in the
victory to the locals. DR.. Gales,
because of his injury, gave away to
Frank O'Gara at the end of thei
first half.
W, B. Morgan of Sank Centre, OF
ficiated as referee and the sixty Sank
Centre rooters who witnessed the
game said he did very good job of
it.
Melrose set up howl because Nc
Ginnis was injected into the game
saying Sank Centre had loaded for
them. If there is a town in the
state famous for "loading up" for
any athletic contest, Melrose is the
town, and any criticism made against
Sank Centre coming from them is in
very poor taste. The final score
was 1915 in favor of Sank Centre.

A game which the Legionaires
of Sank Centre are looking forward
to with considerable anticipation is
the contest to be played on the Junior
High School Auditorium floor, Mon
day evening of next week, when the
locals will make an attempt to even
up the defeat handed them by the
Fergus Falls Veterans a few weeks
ago. The locals are working hard
for this game and expect to give a
good account of themselves. Joe
Guyon, a famous athelete from the,
White Earth Reservation, hass been
engaged to play the pivot position
and coach the Sank Centre team for
the balance of the season and will
make his first appearance in Monday
evenings game. Mr.. Guyon learned
Basket Ball while a student at the
famous Carlisle Indian School in
