REDWOOD MINNESOTA WEDNESDAY.
THE ALTERNATE

REDWOOD rails, America: The
Redwood Basketball team defeated
the Tyler Great. Danes in the race
for the district championship, but
were ousted from the Regional run
ming by the New Prague tossers.
This is the first district champion
ship which any Redwood Falls Bas-
ketball team has ever held.
sThis should mean something.
Even the champion street sweeper
deserves little praise. It he is the
best in his line, the Lord High Exalt-
ed Grand Section-hand has a lot OF
credit coming!
Both Bill Bryan and Paavo Nurmi
have broken records. So did the.
man who tossed brick into the
Vlctrola factory. To say that the
High School team broke a record is
as mild as saying that the Germans
marched through Belgium. They
literally smashed all precedents and
set the athletic world in an uproar.
Therefore it was with consider
able dismay, not to say CONSERVATION,
that Tex Rickard and Jack Kearns
met to discuss the turmoil into which
the major sporting world had been.
thrown by the news that five of the
sons of "Old Elihu," as alumai Sc
proudly refer to the high school on
the hill, had spat on their hands al u
into Tyler's eve and up and won
championship for the old Alma Ma
ter!
"In spite of all the League of Ma
tions and the National League could
do to stop it, the news spread, and
as a result Basket Ball threatens tc
replace whist and dominoes as the
most popular Americsa Indoor Sport.
After offering the newspapers
some unheard-of sums, Judge Landis
finally managed to keep the story
Of the Red Sockless victory out OF
the most important of the daily pa
persl of the country, thus making
baseball safe for another season.
"Such popularity must be deserv-
ed. What could be more ample proof
of the power of Righteousness than the
fact that balloon trousers, Dawes In
Inauguration and Redwood's champion
ship should occur in one year?
A little bite at time is the bes.
policy. If Napoleon hadn't tried &C
bite off more than he could swallow,
Waterloo today would not be any,
thing to us but the name of Durch
oven. According to Ephe Smollet,
cemetaries are full of Swedes who
didn't choke trying to see how SIN all
bundle of Scandinavian chow mein
they could manage.
"It is partly because of this that
the Redwood management decided net
to send representative team to tie
hot - A..
mory this week. The final census at
the end of the New Prague battle
may. also be given as a reason for
discontiHuing the state champion
plans. Sd
"At the end Of the tournament in
the Gustiesh gym, the winning crew
was presented with the finest set OF
fur-lined ear trumpets in St. Peter,
while the runners-up received infor-
nation that their expenses could not
be entirely met, because the District
Committee had decided to donate
the gate receipts to a Home for Flat
Footed Basket Ball Referees.
at is a pleasure to think that at
least, this institution will have two
inmates before it is entirely com.
pleted. The spectators Of the gam
last Saturday join together in hoping
that the doors will be securely lock
ed from the outside. No reason has
been given why this can not be ac-
complished.
Sand besides, there are st II eighty
three, possibly eighty-nine, years ii;
which to win state championship.
Our head, though bloody, is not
bowed"
