Tuesday evening an aggregation
styling themselves as All-stars OF
Little Falls, came to town. They
were not willing to play on the usual
basis but insisted on 60 per cent OF
the gate receipts to go to winner. 1t
they believed that they wer invinci-
division of the gate receipts. 1t
seems that the Little Falls lads have
been cleaning up in their territory
and have arrived at the stage where
they believed that thy were invinci-
bl. The Sank Centre Legionaires
have been meeting all corners and to
date have only lost one game this
season, that was at Alexandria be-
fore they were in shape. The visitors
came to town strong in numbers and
they were really quite a nifty outfit
but the local quint was never in any
great danger. Two or three OF the
Sank Centre team were slightly off
color on Tuesday night AS the team
play is as unit it slowed up the en-
tire, aggregation. However, they were
strong enough to take the visitors in
to camp by comfortable score.
"Doc" Gales almost won the game
single handed as he shot five field
baskets while Lawrence Dolson scored
three. Don Hansen and the two
O'Garas each scored one basket.

J. F. Coyle Has Completed
Well System at LitchGeld
Sank Centre Man Had Contract to
Hook up Water Supply for
Meeker County City

j. F.. Coyle returned to his home
here Sunday, from Litchfeld, Mimi,
where he has been doing what drilling
was necessary and the other work in
his line preparatory to hooking up the
water supply system, of that city in a
similar manner to that employed in
Sank Centre. n
The city of Litchfeld is expending
$120, 100000 in improving its water
and power plant. This municipality
owned plant furnishes light, water
and steam heat as well to the citi-
zens and in addition furnishes power
to three other nearby towns.
Litchfeld is progressive little
city and apparently the city's affairs
are being conducted along sound bus
mess lines as it is reported that the
municipal light. water and heating
plant is being operated at satisfac-
tory profit. ,sa
Mr.. Coyle his complied his con-
tract and expects the Litchfeld city
dads to complete acceptance of his
work in the near future.

The present rectory will be rented out
to others for a time at least.
The purchase price was extremely
low as $500 was paid to Mr..
Johannes for the property. The
gentleman was a retired farmer, he
and his family coming to Sank Cen
tire about four years ago from near
Pipestone. He had sold his farm
but has had to take it back and OPP
crate it himself, therefore decided to
sell his house here rather than rent
it.. The Johannes family expect to
leave for their farm near Pipestone
about March first.

LOCAL SPORT FIELD

Sank Centres nifty high school
basket ball team added another scalp
to their belt Friday evening OF last
week when they trimmed the aggre-
CATION from Glenwood by a II to 8
score. Glenwood was the first to
score and for a time it looked as
though the local quint had their work
cut out for them. However, before
the quarter was over, Brown shot a
field basket and Lembke made a
free throw which gave the local boys
an advantage that they retained. The
first half ended with to 2 score.
In the third quarter Sank Centre ran
wild and increased their total to Is
while Glenwood had to be content
with another field basket. In the last
quarter Nelson was substituted for
Marx and there seemed to be gen.
eral letting down of speed by the
entire local quint, the final score be-
ing II to 8.
The game was one of the cleanest
ever played on the local floor and
Superintendent Pryor who accom-
panied his boys, expressed delight to
the Herald at the splendid manner in
which visiting teams were treated by
the student body and PUBLIC Of Sank
Centre. ~.
Mr.. Schmidt of Avon referred the
game and gave general satisfaction.
Although seven fouls were called on
the Sank Centre lads against four
for the visitors, the Glenwood lads
were not able to make a single point
by the free throw route: OF the
seven field baskets made by the
Sank Centre team Leonard Brown
secured five and he got away without
one foul being called on him, Lemb-
Ike made two field baskets and one
free throw. He also made one foul
Marx made a free throw and three
fouls were called on him. Grossberg,
the right guard, played whale of
a game and got away without single
foul being called against him. Walt
er Moynihan the left guard, gave his
opopnent taste of what real guard
ing is. He made one free throw and
was charged with two fouls. In the
few minutes that Nelson was in the
game he was charged with one foul.
The following is the summarized score
of this game. ..a $3.50 ..

Thursday evening Of last week the
Legion basket ball team made a lit
tie Journey by auto to Morris to re-
turn the call made by the Independ-
ent team of that city the week be-
fore. It will be recalled that in the
contest in this city, the Sank Centre
quint were victorious. Morris is con-
sldered to be hard team to beat on
their own floor but the local quint
turned the trick without any great
difficulty. They got away in the
lead in the early part of the game and
were never headed. Everyone of
the regulars in the team made at least
one basket, "Pip" Hansen and Frank
O'Gara scoring two each. Just be-
fore the close of the game Hansen
was put out because of four personal
fouls, Vandesteeg taking his place.
AS there was only 40 seconds left to
play the Sank Centre quint did not
make any endeavor to score but at
tempted to keep the Morris team from
doing so, and they succeeded beauti-
fully. The final score was 16 to Ii
in favor of the locals. A summary Of
the game follows:

FIND COPTIC TEXT OF GOSPEL OF JOHN
IN VALLEY OF KINGS AT LUXOR, EGYPT

writing was in Coptic characters and
scriptural. They were sent to Eng
land to Sir Flinders Petrie, the di-
rector of the school of Archaeology
in Egypt. Soon seeing the word
Lazarus" and other Biblical words,
he knew that the manuscript was one
of the gospels and not merely an old
Coptic sermon. 1t turned out to be
the Gospel of John.
Each page is about 81 inches by
Az inches. Sheets are missing from
the beginning and end, and pages
Hip and 1884, but sc pages contain
the continuous text of the Egyptian
version. Experts conclude that the
manuscript was probably written
about the beginning of the fifth CEN
fury which would make IL the oldest
known copy Of any Coptic Christian
book. The text has not yet been all
translated; so IL Is not yet known
which Egyptian version this repre-
sents. Before the end of the year.
