change for the better then. Most of
those on the accompanying tug were
severely seasick by this time, but
Trudie had never once complained,
though she asked for piece of loaf
sugar about this juncture.
Capt Corthes declared the sea
was running higher than at any
previous stage of the effort and was
amazed at Trudie's fortitude and
endurance against such overwhelm-
ing odds. Only her unparalleled
speed, IT seemed. could save her on
this try, and even that Corthes
counted unlikely to save the day
unless the weather Gained somewhat.
He was astounded at her continuing
on, ungrumbling, in such violently
stormy weather.
Rival Shows Sportsmanship.
At 3 o'clock Helmy swan from our
tug to the Lamarienet to ask Lillian
Cannon if she would like to swim
with Trudie. A small boat was sent
over in perilous sea and Lillian soon
entered the water. A fine display of
sportmanship for woman, who but
few hours since was counted
Trudies chief rival.
Trudie's is a long. powerful crawl
stroke and she never yet had
changed from it except when eating.
She was furnished two more pieces
of sugar as Miss Cannon moved
alongside her.

Of many failures to negotiate the
Channel swim. If she could reach
and pass the buoy, all on the Alsace

passage would be good, since there
after a third tide probably would
assist her toward her goal. AT that
point many would-be Channel swim
mers had abandoned the effort.
At 3:35 we sighted the East Good

Also we saw the South Calliper buoy,

This, according to Burgess, made GER

Sank Centre Defeats Brooten
High

Sank Centre Defeats Brooten
High
The Sank Centre team hung up
its second victory of the season
by defeating the experienced
Brooten team 1915 Friday eve
ningH The contest was one of the
best seen on the local floor in
the past year. The game was
quite well attended as many Bel
grade and Brooten enthusiasts
came to Sank Centre to see their
respective teams play. The local
turnout was not as good as ex-
pected, perhaps due to the earli-
ness of the season.
The Main Street boys were out
weighed and out-distanced in
heighth by Brooten but made up
this handicap by speed and ac-
curacy in their play. The locals
defensive work being much better
than their ofense, the latter work
brought game thro Ugh for the To-
cal fans.
The only distast.f';l portion of
Thursday nights contest was the
u'isportsmanlike conduct of many
of the opponents followers. This
practise is not INDUCED in by the
lest of sports. Never before has
it been necessary fer the referee
to stop the game on account of
u: sportsmanlike conduct on a
Sank Centre floor. Sank Centre
fans are not guilty of such work.
The Brooten PLAYERS showed them
selves to be spocts of the first
class.

score in the opening period when

before the quarter ended Captain
Arneson was substituted for
Schoenhoff at center and lilies for
T. Markson at Forward. Schoen-
hoff and Markson both played very
good defensive games but were
not quite as handy on offense.
Both should make very valuable
players before the season is over.
Brooten was the first to score in
the second quarter. They obtain
ed two goals from long shots be-
fore Sank Centre fell into their
own when Walden scored a close
in shot making the score 81.
Brooten added another goal then
Peterson made a good try from
the side of the floor. Swenson OBJ

fore the half was over, making the
count 1879 in favor of Brooten,
where it remaianed at the end of
the half.
In the first minute of play of
the second half, Arneson scored a
basket on an out-of-bounds play on
a pass in from Walden, making
the count 1911. Arneson added
free throw out of two attempts
making the count 1912. Sank
Centre missed several easy goals
in succession while the tight de-
Tense kept Brooten from the bas-
ket. lilies finally sank a shot put
ting Sank Centre in the lead 1914.
Brooten obtained very few tries at
the goal while the ball remained
in home territory most of the
time.
The final quarter started with
both teams, as we'll as the fans, on
keen edge and Sank Centre i'm
mediately took the ball down the
floor and kept it there most of the
time allowing Brooten only four
shots the first three minutes, while
Peterson sank a nice bank shot
and put the local ahead 1913. In
the middle of the quarter Strefeld-
er obtained Brooten's lone basket
when he picked up a tumble from
the tip-off and sank the shot from
the foul line. The score remained
1916 until the last two minutes
of the game when lilies put the
game on ice by sinking short
shot from the side.

The Sank Centre girls beat the
Belgrade girls in the first game of
the season.
The local girls opening their
schedule defeated the Belgrade
girls by score of 9 to 6. The
teams were quite evenly matched
in size but Belgrade played a
more ragged game.
Reonalda Claseman got the first
point on foul shot and Irene
Moynihan came through Tor a
field goal putting Sank Centre in
the lead. Defenses frightened and
neither side scored for the re-
mainder of the quarter.
The second quarter opened con-
spicuously as Belgrade took a
basket. Then foul shot evened
the score. They remained on
even terms for a while both teams
playing fast basketball but Reonel-
da got away near the close of the
quarter making a field goal. A
short time later she and Irene each
made good foul shot ending the
half with Sank Centre in the lead
Z and 3.
Both teams played evenly
throughout the second half. Bel
grade got the better of this half
making a basket and a foul while
Sank Centre got a basket. The
game finally closed 9 to 6 in IA
vor of Sank Centre.
The locals displayed remarkable
defense and all the credit goes to
Margaret Moynihan and Elsie
Bower. The centers, Leta Butler
