Ely Junior College Was Beaten
bv Eveleth in a Close Game. Score
II to I6.
Although the Eveleth team did
not have a galaxy of stars grazing
their lineup they still played good
basketball and emerged victorious
from the battle yith the local col
lege team. The Ely team was de-
cidedly of form especially in their
shooting for they outshot Eveleth
practically two to one. By making
good eight of the fifteen fouls called
on Ely was the manner in which
Eveleth won the game. Eveleth
jumped of to an early lead, but the
home team kept shooting at the
basket until three of the shots fin
ally went in to give them six points
to Eveleth's seven as the half end
ed.
The two quints battled on even
terms during the second half,
neither team being in the lead by
more than two points at any one
time. Ely was leading by one point
towards the close of the game, when
Eveleth was given the opportunity
to win by free throws and unfor-
tunately for Ely they grasped the
opportunity.

MOTORED CAR WILL
REPLACE. BRANCH RUN.

Retrenchment in operating costs
in the operation of the Western
Mesaba branch passenger train will
be responsible for the installation
of a motor car in place of the pres
ent accommodation according to local
officials who have plans to provide
a motor car in place of the steam
drawn train which is at present
carrying about six passengers a trip
on the schedule, says the Two Har-
bors Chronicle.
The change will displace three
train men who are employed at
present as the motor car will use
but three men; a motorman, con-
ductor and fiagman. The economy
in operating cost will approximate
500 per day according to the esti-
mates that have been made.
To the general public the motor
bus is considered as a matter of
course but to railroad officials who
have to make revenues meet oper-
ating costs it is a matter of serious
concern and to the railroad man de-
pendent on the railroad service for
a living still more serious one.

Mesaba branch run is negligible be-
yond Aurora because of the number
of busses running between the range
towns and there is no way of COM
polling people to ride on trains.
Many passengers are known to
board the main line train at Ely and
alight at Mesaba and take buss to
Aurora or other Range cities with a
saving of both time and fare and
many passengers take the train
from Duluth to Aurora and con-
tinue the journey by buss. Buses
meet the main line trains at Tower
and Embarrass and take passengers
for Virginia and other range towns
aid the railroad company has no al
tentative except to curtail expenses
to something near the revenue from
the operation of such trains.

ELY SWIMMERS
WIN FROM BULL.

Establishing new records and gar
nering all firsts and all but two
seconds, the Ely high school swim
ming squad affirmed its superiority
over the Bull high school swimmers
last Saturday in the Bull pool,
which for beauty alone surpasses
anything of its kind in the state.
The feature events of the after
noon was the winning of the go
and 100 yards free style by H.
Paapanen who bettered his former
marks in both events. Paapanen
who is only Sophomore and until
last year knew nothing about swim
ming, will no doubt develop into
one of the fastest swimmers in the
state before leaving high school.
F. Barrett, Bull dash man, was
the outstanding star on his team,
with two seconds and one-third to
his credit, while Paapanen register
ed two firsts for a total of 10
points besides swimming on the re-
lay team.
On account of the condition of
the diving board the diving was not
included in the scoring. An ex-
hibition was given by our highly
rated divers but due to the steep
elevation of the board our boys
could not perform as usual. John
M. Pucel was rated as the best div
err, narrow margin separating him
and w. Nappa; Lindquist, Bull,
third.
The results of the events were as
follows:
100 Yds. Relay-Ely team won.
H. Paappanen, A. Wiinikainen, w.
Nappa, E. Tanttari. Time 1876
and 2-5.
60 Yds. Breast Stroke-W. Nicho-
las, Ely, first; U. Hokkanen, Ely,
second; Jerkovitch, Bull, third.
Time 40 and 475.
40 Yds Free Style. Tanttari
and A. Wiinikainen tied for first /;
Anderson, Bull, third. Time % and
ITO.
100 Yds. Free Style-H. Paap-
panen, Ely, first; F. Barrett, Bull,
second; E. Tanttari, Ely, third.
Time 1.09, which is Paappanen's
best time for the distance.
60 Yds. Back Stroke-E. Laitala,
Ely, first; U. Saari, Ely, second; N.
zuvich, Bull, thiro. Time 25 and
2-5.
20 Yds. Free Style-A. Wiini-
kainen, Ely, nrst; F. Barrett, Bull,
second; U. Hokkanen, Ely, third
10 and 3-5.
60 Yds. Free Style-H. Pap
panen, Ely, first; w. Nappa, Ely,
second; F. Barrett, Bull, third.
Time 81 seconds. Total score
Ely so, Bull 10.
While the Ely squad showed a
marked superiority throughout the
meet, in justice to the Bull aspir-
ants, it can be said that they have
the material for a coming first rate
team. The Bull swimming team
may come to Ely for return meet
on March 26th. If such arrange
ments can be made Coach Herseth
will pick his entire team from the
7th, 9Th and Freshman classes to
give the Bull team an even COM
petition.
After the meet a water basket
ball game was played, and as this
is an entirely new game for our
boys they were looking forward to
bad trimming, but after the final
whistle they found themselves
downed by only two points. The
score was: Bull 3 points for one
field basket and a free throw; Ely
point for free throw.
A new came water Polo" will
be introduced to the high school
swimming classes within a weeks
time, and plans are made to finish
off all swimming meets with wat
er polo game.
Next Saturday tbs ngn school
team will swim the Chisholm team.
