BORROWED IDEAS

People always looking for something new: something original-and other people are contin- ualy racking their brains to supply these demands. In the realms of letters and art. the task Is dim cult enough.
 Just about the time one thinks he has bright new idea he discovers that else has beaten him to it, probably centuries ago. So. aside from discussing current events it seems that about all writer do is to present old ideas in new forms. perhaps ambeshing them in the light of recent experience
 Nearly all present day literary compositions and oratorical efforts eontain many borrowed ideas and some remind one of . cetrain candidate's speech. After delivering his address, the candidate asked friend what he thought of 1t and the friend re- piled:
 "Your speech contained much that was original and much that was good. But unfortunately that which was good was not original and that which was original was not good"

But with them wolnsh spirit Balto. son of his sire: When the wolf-pack hows at the blizzard's toll And the eyes of men dim. Still shall the mushing drivers tell Of the great mad strength of him.

SITOlS ueIeIlSe play Sduk tenure put
up-but Brown and MacDermond
were unable to get loose for any shots.
Brown had enough shots to win the
game without much effort but his
shooting eye wasn't with him that
night; his floor work was ragged, too.
Pierson substituted for Nelson in the
third quarter. His work in the last
few games has been much better than
it was during the first part of the
season. Wilcox had a very good man
playing opposite him and he should
have learned much in the game. AL
les height gives his big advantage
over many of his opponents, but he
doesn't use this natural gift. He
should easily out-jump any basket
ball player in the district.
Coach Kaslow was very disappoint-
ed in the showing his team made. He
had planned on springing a surprise
victory on Alexandria, because Alex
has been going at a strong pace. John
son was the big star for the Douglas
county basketeers. He made 8 of the
II points. Smith and Wettleson
showed up to advantage.
The referees work was not salts
factory to either team, and the Sank
Centre basket ball fans were surpris.
ed to think Alexandria would toler-
at such officiating. 1t has been ru-
mored this official has applied for the
officiating of the tournament to be
held in March. His chances for that
position were "killed" by his work
of last Friday.

PHONE REPAIRMEN SCHOOL
R. F. Schwalen, local manager for
the Northwestern Bell Telephone
Company, in this city, plans on
holding a school of instruction for
rural telephone repairmen of the
surrounding territory in the local
exchange building Saturday, Febru-
airy 18th.
Mr.. Schwalen states that the pur-
pose of this meeting is to establish a
more uniform basis regarding the 10
cation of trouble and the proper
maintainence of lines and equipment.
Mr.. Schwalen also plans on ac-
quainting the rural repairmen with
some of the standard methods now
used in the installation Of telephones.
Several other telephone subjects viii
also be discussed at this meeting.
A school of instruction of this
kind will no doubt bring it's good re-
suits in the establishing in this COM
munity the best possible grade of un-
form telephone service.

players, and the tournament will be.
more widely advertised through tho.
district than it has heretofore.
The tournament should prove to be
the very best ever staged in Sank
Centre. There will be eight teams
participating, and the rivalry that has
arisen between some of these teams
will make the various contests lively
affairs.
1t is hoped Karl Adams of the
Teachers College at St. Cloud can
be secured as head official.
Bottineaus Play Legion Here Feb. 20
The Legion basket shooters of Sank
Centre will play the fast Bottineaus
of Minneapolis in this city at the
Junior High School Auditorium Fri
day evening Feb. 20.
The Bottineaus have a fast team,
composed of young men who have
made regulations for themselves in
college and high school basket ball.
Two of the boys made all city berths
in their last year of playing. Their
captain, George Besnah has been
playing this sc ason with the strong
Fergus Falls Legion team, but will
make the trip to this city with the
Bottineaus. He is considered the
best dribbler in the state, and has
appeared at times with teams such as
the Globe Tr ,tters, (Whizz Bangs1,
151st of Minneapolis and the West
ern All Stars.
Last season, the Bottineaus won
the independent title in the annual
tournament staged in Minneapolis by
the leading independent teams. Their
record shows they lost but one logical
game and won twen;y-eight.

Sank Rapids Wins
One of the best games played here
this season was the Sank Rapids Le-
gion-Sauk Centre Legion game of
last Tuesday. 1t was close, hotly
contested game and much good basket
ball was seen. The score was 30 to
%.
Seven times during the game the
score was tied and only during the
first quarter was there much differ
ence in the count. The first period
ended 10 to 4 in favor of the locals.
The half ended IA to 8, with the
Sank Centre players still in the lead.
Several changes in the lineup took
place and it took some little time to
get the new men into action. Then
the visitors put in three baskets so
fast the crowd and the Sank Centre
players were amazed at the accuracy
and quickness of their opponents.
The score was soon tied and it wasn't
long before the Sank Rapids team
was in the lead. 1t was a see-saw
game from then on, and the final
whistle found Sank Rapids leading
by one basket. ..-, -
The basket shooting of Frank
O'Gara was easily the feature of the
game. He couldn't miss the loop, no
matter how he tossed the ball. The
floor work of the "Main Streeters"
was a little better than usual, but
the passing was ragged. A little prac-
tice in this department Of the game,
and little more time taken when
shooting will do much to make our
boys into a smooth working combina-
ton. 49,
The Sank Rapids were good sports.
Babowski, the captain, is naturally
chronic kicker and the referee knew
it. His clicks were ignored by
the official and the game went along
nicely. It was a fast game although
it appeared little rough. From the
spectators standpoint it was a high
class exhibition and well worth wit

Long Praire Here Saturday

Long Praire Here Saturday
The return game with Long Prairie
will be played here on Saturday eve
ming. There will be only one more
high school game after this one, and
the local team needs to win it in or
der to retain it's place as one of the
"Strong Four" teams in the district.
Long Prairie gave our boys their
hardest game of the season, at Long
Prairie several weeks ago. In all
probability this contest will be a close,
hard fought one, and it is awaited
with much interest and enthusiasm.
The defeat at Alex last week has
changed the fine spirit that exists in
| the Sank Centre team and they are
practicing hard and diligently.
Remember the date-Saturday, the
18th.
| Tournament
The district tournament will be
held in Sank Centre on March 9th
and 18th. This tournament is an an
nual affair and it is played to deter
mine who is to represent this district
in the Regional Tournament to be
played at Alexandria on March 18th
or 18th. ~.
One of the features of the tourna-
ment this year will be the selection
of an all conference team. This
team will not be an official confer
ence team, as no provision is made in
the bylaws of the constitution pro-
viding for such a selection. How
ever, the Sank Centre Herald is at
tempting to work up a greater en-
thusiasm in high school basket ball,
and is using this conference team idea
as the "first stroke"
The method used in selecting the
best team has not been determined,
but it is suggested that each coach
select five players, and each city
newspaper be allowed one team selec-
ton. This would mean about eight
coaches and seven Or eight newspa-
per men voting. The five men re-
ceiving the greatest number of votes
would be given the places on the my
thical quint.
This will arouse considerable in
terest and competition among the
