SPORTSMANSHIP.

To the member of any team
craftsmanship means doing his duty,
playing square, and playing to the
end. Everyone seems to know that
but there is one thing that does not
seem clear to all the students (ano
students doesn't mean only the
Frosh). That "thing" is that those
on the side lines are playing the
game as well as those on the floor,
or on the field, or in the pool.
The onlooker like the player has
his duty. His duty is the encour-
aging of the team or exercising his
lungs so to speak. In this respect
the students have done well.
"Playing square" is the second
duty of every onlooker. 1t involves
mostly courtesy and it seems sadly
lacking. For specific illustration
take the incident which happened
during the girls swimming meet
when someone shouted rotten, rot
ten" at the top of his young lungs
and caused the person so criticized
to lose her nerve altogether. Call
ing it discourteous is putting 1t
mildly. There are other remarks,
possibly intended to be brilliant,
equally discourteous.
The third thing the player does is
'play to the end". In the case OF
recent basketball games the rule
could we'll be changed, for the bene-
fit of the onlooker, to 'stay to the
end. In this last Mr.. Baldauf has
said enough. Just one more thing

A WINTER PLAYGROUND.

Many persons think of Minnesota
as a pleasant place to spend the
summer-and a spot to be Stunned
in winter.
And of course it's fame as sum-
mer vacation land has spread all
over the United States because of
the abundance of beautiful lakes
and freshness of forest air.
But the very gifts of nature
which make the state a campers
paradise in summer also axe it a
delightful winter playground.
This has been amply demonstrat-
ed AGAIN by the party of snowshoers
which j. F. Gould, state game and
fish commissioner, has just taken
for the annual outing in northern
Minnesota.
Setting out each day from the
vicinity of Grand Marais the 80
members of the party made trips
over the snow, covering about 20
miles on each of the six days.
So enticing has this annual win
ter party become that there are
now more applications to go along
than there are accommodations.
Minnesota will soon become
known as the year-around play
round for those who truly like to
be outdoors.-St. Paul Daily News.

team to a standstill throughout
three quarters of the game the Ely
five showed true mettle and the best
form of the season. Ely "held their
own" with Two Harbors until the
second quarter when Tippet, the
Two Harbors forward, connected
with the basket four times to give
his team an eight point lead as the
half ended.
Strulpel, Grahek and Banks began
finding the hoop for Ely at the be-
ginning of the second half. and the
Ely score again had approached the
Two Harbors total, but both john
son and Tippet of Two Harbors
awoke in time to stem the oncom-
ing rally by together scoring six
baskets. Ely counted two more
field goals near the end of the game
but the lack of time cut short the
rally.
The lineup of the teams was as

awarded second place; while "The
Lie", by Betty Mills, was awarded
first place.
The boys Oratorical contest was
held at the same time. Those en-
tered were Linton Krause, Frank

to represent Ely in the sub-district
contest.
Then Wednesday evening, the
sub-districr contest was held at the
Washington Auditorium with COM
petitors from Tower, Biwabik,
Aurora and Ely. The winners in
this contest are to compete in the
district contest, the date of which
has not yet been set. There were
three parts to the contest: the
Dramatic contest for girls, the
.Oratorical for boys. and the Hum

After an opening number by the
High School Orchestra, the Drama
tic contest commenced. The fol-
lowing selections were given:

Former Mayor Keller of st. Paul
favors the return of the death pen
atty in the state of Minnesota. He
states that sentimentaliSts are re-
sponsible for the indeterminate
sentence and parole laws. In the
face of the brutal shooting to death
of two police officers in st. Paul
early Tuesday morning, II is no
wonder perfectly normal people be-
gin to question crime penalties and
crime prevention measures. The
killing mentioned was one of the
most atrocious crims committed in
some time and the death penalty
would be altogether too easy for the
perpetrators. 1t is to be hoped
Chief Ed. Murnane of st. Paul and
Chief Brunskill of Minneapolis and
their men will be able to slmultane-
ously round up the underworld

them out of circulation indefinitely.

should be issued by the heads of
police forces to shoot first and in

sions. Why not retaliat-?

DROPPING LAKE LEVELS.

AS was pointed out in Skillings'
Mining Review in the issue of Jan.
80, Lake Superior seems to be pass
ing through period of lew water
as it has in previous years and that
the high water level will be restored
in the course of timed With the
other lakes, however, conditions, due
to diversion of water at Chicago,
make it possible that, unless some
definite action is taken to remedy
conditions, the lower lake levels
may remain permanently lower.
This has a very definite influence
OF the carrying power of lake
freighters and consequently on their
earning power.
In the annual report of the Lake
Carriers Assn, president j. s. Ash
ley points out:
"The seasons official returns
show that the average load of iron
ore carried by vessels on the Great
Lakes in 1921 was PIG tons less
than in 1924. The average tonnage
of coal dropped 342 tons. Grain
loadings decreased correspondingly.
"As there has been consistent
recession in recommended loading
drafts year after year the economic
loss to the vessel owners by reason
of the declination from the 81 #.
of five years ago to the present
draft of 10 #. in, amounts to
millions of tons of freight in a
single season.
Notwithstanding that something
like fifty small and medium sized
bulk freighters were not required
in the seasons movement of ore,
thus leaving the trade more largely
TO the vessels of great capacity, the
average cargo for full loads drop
ped to 1907 gross tons.
This is the lowest average known
since 1915. It prevails in the face
of the fact that the ore carrying
feet has been heavily strengthened
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1926-02-26

by the addition of hundreds of
thousands of tons of new carrying
capacity and simultaneously has
been relieved of thousands of tons
of limited capacity ships.
I'm 1925 combined lake ship,
ments of iron ore, coal, grain and
stone amounted to 113,291,886 net
tons, and with the exception of
1928, when ore and coal moved in
larger volume, was the largest of
any season since the close of the
war. This vast amount of freight
was handled without the full
strength of the feet having been
employed and without evidence of
pressure having been exerted."
