WANDA TEAM NO MATCH FOR
REDWOOD LADS; SCORE
25-14.

Taking half second and half first
team men the Company trounced
Wanda on their floor 25-14 in one
sided game. Wanda had no team
whatever and it was an outright gift
that the Company team gave them IA
points. A return game is to be play
ed soon and Wanda guarantees to
bring a good team of players.
The first half was more of game
than the second. Shores and Zeimer
made some baskets and played good
floor games. The whole team played
remarkably well for having never
played together before. Wanda was
quite lucky in shots and were allowed
few. The half ended 1873 in favor
of Redwood
The second half was uninteresting
and it appeared as if Redwood was
just fooling with their opponents.
Martin got into form and rolled in
three baskets and Shores made SOME
neat shots. The final count was 25-14

The High School team, minus LatI-

motored to Belview Friday night and
won an exceedingly fast game 34l8.
Captain Root, Englund and Cole We're
the high point getters and Manning
played wonderful defensive game.
The locals were only few points
in the lead at the half but salted the
game away in the third quarter with
six straight baskets Belview was
decidedly outelassed and at no time
were they to be feared. The lads
played some wonderful team work and
also made some nice long shots. The
final figure gave Redwood the game

DECLAMATORY CONTEST VERY
CLOSE; MISSES KvELLO AND
KOLBETS WIN PLACES.

The High School Declamatory Con-
nesday evening before a large crowd.
The contestants were practically even
and gave some of the finest talks
heard here in declamatory speeches.
Each contestant thoroughly knew her
selection and brought out the drama
tic situations in it very forcibly. Miss
Rost, a member Of the High School
Faculty, has done wonderful work in
the training of these girls and their
success is a great credit to the girls
as well as herself.
First place was awarded to Evan
gelie Knudson, who gave, "Madam
.X". She will represent this school at
the District Contest at New Ulm.
Avis Kvello, reciting, "The Confes-
sion" was second and Loretta Kolbet
giving "The Music Master" was third.
Each of these three girls was given a
first place by one or the other of the
judges, so it is very evident the de-
cisions were extremely close.
The others who took part and their
readings were: Hazel Marvin "Jean
Valjean". Muriel Kuester, from a
Far Country" Gladys Pearson, "The
Necklace. Geraldine Sparks, ''The
Polish Boy. Mathilda Seifert, "The
Sign of the Cross. All of these girls
gave their parts splendidly and had
it not been for some very slight fault
or defect, which the sharp eyes and
ears of the judges could detect, they
would probably have been awarded
places. The judges were: Superinten-
dent Miller from Morgan, Superinten-
dent Peterson from Morton, and Mrs.
T. E. Finn of Redwood Falls.
The City Orchestra entertained the
crowd with many fine selections, and
played some splendid music.

LOCAL GUARD TEAM WINS WE'D
NESDAY EVENING BY SCORE
OF 1920.

The Company L team motored to
Belview Wednesday evening and won
an exceedingly fast game, 1920. The
locals played their usual fast game
but did not get going until the second
half. The first half was walk away
for Belview. Redwood failed to score
the first quarter while Brode made six
points for the opposing team. Ma
son, Zeimer, and Lamberton each
speared a long shot in the second
round while Lehman and Fish each
found the loop for three baskets, with
Nelson making an extraordinary long
shot. The half ended in Belview's
favor, 1876.
In the second encounter Redwood
hit their old stride and began to sink
in the baskets. Mason, Martin, and
Lamberton had shot after shot and
counted goodly share of them. Leh-
man made / field basket and two free
throws which were the only points
Belview scored the second half. The
defensive work of Zern and Lamber-
ton during this half was a feature; ;
the opponents not getting short shot.
Fish, the individual star for Belvlew
was held to three baskets; making
them all in the first half. The total
score was: Redwood 80, Beiview ~.
