Are you all set for the Regional
Basket Ball tournament at Alexand-
ria Friday afternoon and evening?
The Sank Centre High School bas-
ket ball shooters will meet the very
clever Buffalo team on the Armory
floor of that City at 400 p. m.
Last week both Alex and Osakis
sent large delegations to Sank Centre
to encourage their teams to victory,
Sank Centre can do no less than sup
port the District champions in their
fight to represent this section of Min
nesota at the State tournament at
Kenwood Armory next week.
The Regional tournament will open
at Alexandria at 800 p. M, when
Pine River and Appleton meet; Sank
Centre meets Buffalo, vanquishers of
the St. Cloud Techs at 4:30. In the
evening the two winners will play
for the Regional championship after
the two loosers have played for the
Consolation prize.
The Sank Centre Quint have been
working faithfully this week for the
big event Friday. The followers of
the team believe they have an oppor-
tunity to win. However, there is no
over-confidence. This much is certain
if Brown and his gang display the
same speed and technique at Alex as

results given to the farmer. This
service gives each individual an idea
of how his corn is running, whether
any of his corn will grow, whether
half of it or high per cent of it will
terminate. He can then use his own
Judgment whether he had better test
every ear of his corn or whether il
has such a high per cent of germin-

which will be rare case this year
Tests made so far this year in Min

dead ears and very weak termination.

every farmer to look well to his
seed corn. A few hours spent now

Sank Centre came through with
sensational 10 to victory over Alex
andria Saturday night and won the
undisputed basket ball championship
for the district This game was the
biggest surprise of the tournament,
and it meant the first district title to
come to the Sank Centre school. In
years gone by the local institution
has been strong contender for the
district honors, but has never been
able to reach the top. 1t was a great
victory for the "Main Streeters," but
a heart breaker for Alexandria.
The tournament this year was de-
cided success. From financial view
point it would be almost impossible
to equal it. At every game the
large auditorium gymnasium was
packed to capacity. The gate re-
ceipts reached the six hundred dollar
mark, which also is a record for a
district tournament. No city in this
district can boast of such support and
such loyalty.

tourney was in the hands of'thes dis

and clearly demonstrated that the peo-
pie of this community will support it.
This years tournament was better
than last years, because the teams
participating were stronger and play
ed a better brand of ball than was
exhibited at that time. Any enc of
the three strong teams, Alexandria,
Osakis and Sank Centre, would make
a good team to represent this district.
Any one of these three compares very
favorably with the strong teams in
the St. Cloud district, or the Brain
erd-Crosby-Staples district, or the
Appleton Benson-Mo ntivideo district.
The teams this year were more even
ly matched for no team playing here
last week was as weak as the Melrose,
Eagle Bend or Long Prairie team of
last year. The entire affair was a
high class exhibition of basket ball.

promptly furnished a surety bond in
this amount. Being an up-to-date
