Dist. Tournament
| Held Here SATURDAY.
BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
TO BE DECIDED IN TWO
GAMES AT ARMORY.
IyANHOE DROPS OUT.
REDWOOD TO MAKE FOURTH
TEAM BUT NOT TO SHARE
IN FINALS.

Because the Redwood Falls high
school basketball team has been
beaten twice by Sleepy Eye, the local
team is eliminated from possible hon
ors in the district tournament which
win be held at the Amory next Satur-
day, and also from any part in the
state tournament at Carleton college.
However, since Ivanhoe will not be
here to play it has been decided that
Redwood Falls will make the fourth
team at Saturdays event.
The Brown County Journal of New
Ulm has the following to say concern
ing Saturdays sport.
The tournament to decide the bas-
ketball championship of District No.
IL will be staged at Redwood Falls a
week from today, on Saturday, March
II, according to arrangements for
this event, which were agreed upon
at meeting of superintendents of the
high schools whose teams are inter-
ested in this contest, held at Sleepy
Eye, Wednesday afternoon of this
| week. Supt. Arnold Gloor represent
ed the New Ulm high school at this
conference.
! Ivanhoe Drops Out.
Thursday mornings mail brought
Supt. Gloor letter from the superin-
tendent Of the Ivanhoe public schools,
stating that the high school basket
ball team Of that place would not par
ticipate in the tournament, due to
lack of practice during the past few
weeks. This action left but three OF
the necessary four teams in the field,
namely, New Ulm, Sleepy Eye and
Marshall.
| Redwood Falls May Play.
In order to make the contest more
equitable, efforts are being made to
have the Redwood Falls team, which
was eliminated from participation in
the contest by being defeated twice
by Sleepy Eye, oppose Marshall, while
| New Ulm and Sleepy Eye have been
| matched for the big tilt to decide
which of these two teams will dispute
the district championship honors with
Marshall. It is believed that this ar
rangement can be put through. -. -
| New Ulm- Sleepy Eye First.
It was decided at the conference of
superintendent at Sleepy Eye, We'd
nesday afternoon, that the first con-
test of the district tournament shall
take place between New Ulm and
Sleepy Eye. This game will be called

to with the proper railroad officials to
secure a special train on the North
| western line from New Ulm to Red
wood Falls and return, next Satur-
day to accommodate the New Ulm
.nd Sleepy Eye teams and their root
ers. If these accommodations are Sc
cured, a large number of local fans
will accompany our team to the tour
nament, and the same also holds good
as far as Sleepy Eye in concerned.
