The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1925-03-05

went through the Osalis defense at
will, and never found much opposi-
ton when they got started. The Osa-
kis squad hurried many of Browns
shots, and kept him a long ways
from the basket. Nelson used good
Judgment when stalling during the
last six minutes. The Sank Centre
team should have spread over. big
ger territory, then their stall would
have been more effective. Moynihan
furnished plenty of thrills with his
long shots and if any one man on the
floor was a star, the honor would
have gone to Walt. No basket ball
player playing before the local aud
fence displays the head work this
young "golfer" does.
Karl Adams of the St. Cloud
Teachers College refereed the game.
He is thorough student of the game,
and he works fast. If the tourna-
ment referee is as efficient as Mr..
Adams is, no complaints will come
from any of the teams. .
Answer to Alexis Write-up
In last issue of the Alex
andria Citizen News a write-up ap-
peared scoring the Sank Centre bas-
ket ball fans for the attitude they took
in regard to the Alex-Sauk Centre
game at Alexandria on Feb. 9th, and
the tone of the write-up demands an
explanation on the part of the Sank
Centre authorities.
The school officials of Sank Cen
ire particularly Superintendent Falk
and Coach Kaslow want the people
of Alexandria to. understand that the
sport write-up which appeared in the
St. Cloud paper on the AleX-Saul
Centre game was not sponsored by
the athletic department of the loca
institution. The Sank Centre cores
pendent to the St. Cloud daily is E
local young man working in one Of
the Sank Centre business houses anc
is not connected with the school il
any way. His correspondence is no
censored by the Sank Centre athletic
director before it is sent in, and we
feel the school should not be crit
cized for anything he publishes in thu
St. Cloud paper. The correct senti
ment of the school on all sport mat
tiers is published in this department
of the Sank Centre Herald.
Anything appearing in any othe
paper on local sports is not the dicta
ton of the Sank Centre athletic di
rector.
The Alexandria News mentioned
the Osakis-Sauk Centre "scrap' O
last year. The dissension with Osaki
was not over a game, but over tn
eligibility one one of our players.
took the chairman of the district com
mittee only a very short time to prov
to Osakis that their claims of inelig
Utility were groundless. Where Alex
andria got the idea that the Sank Cen
tire crowd is a bunch of "crabbers" i
beyond me. We want the amiabl
relations between the two schools t
continue, and we shall do all in GU
power to make them such. But i
any school or any paper attacks tn
local institution it will find there
defense that is the result of a Who'll
hearted cooperation between the fac
ulty, the students and the citizens o
the town.
Both sides should forget this Sigh
misunderstanding that has arisen, an
