ASKOV DEFEATED
AGAIN BY BEROUN

At least twenty rooters came
up with the Beroun basket ball
team last Thursday evening and
cheered their boys on to their
second victory over the Askov
quint. 1t was fast and snappy
game from start to finish and
both sides worked hard. Very
few fouls were called by Referee
Hyatt of Kerrick, who was kept
exceptionally busy following the
ball. The Beroun lineup con-
sisted of Edw. Houde, rf.; F. Pal
krabek, IT,; ]. Carsten, c.; A.
Krofta, rg.;; E. Chalupnik, lg; and
these positions were filled re-
spectively by Askov boys as fol-
lows: C. M. Nelson, A. M. De
Young, Ansgar Rodholm, Law
renee DeYoung and Harold Sor-
ensen. Later on in the game
there were several changes in the
lineup. Viggo Jensen and Carl
Hyldahl also played part of the
time with Askov. Beroun was in
the lead all the time and the
score by quarters was SO, SO, To
and the final II to 6 in favor of
Beroun.

HOVDE DOWNED IN
TWO STRAIGHT FALLS
Plumb Too Strong for Sturdy
Little Grappler. Plumb
Also Wins Handicap. /,

The wrestling match at the
D. B. S. hall, Askov, Friday eve
ming, staged under auspices of
the American Legion was won by
/. M. Plumb of Bruno, in two
straight falls over Pat Hovde
who came up from Minneapolis.
Plumb gained the first fall in Is
minutes and 20 seconds with a
half nelson and body hold The
second fall came after 10 minutes
and 80 seconds of wrestling and
was gained with a similar hold.
There was some difference in
weight however not enough but
what the contest might have
been more even. Hoyde appear
ed to lack strength. He is a
quick little wrestler and inter-
esting tor watch. He gave his
weight as 158 pounds and Plumb
gave his as 1913. 4
There was some hollering
about Plumb picking little fell
lows and lemons" as opponents,
however entirely unjustified for
he, is not the promoter of the
matches. 1t is up to the promo
tiers to pick his opponents. If
they do not like Plumb's sug-
gestions they need not be fol-
lowed. If Hovde, who was the
one that was seeking this match
and most anxious to have it carr
ried through, is considered soft
picking for Plumb, it can GER
-tainly not be said that Plumb had
anything soft when he wrestled
Person and Laastuen.
Fred Smith, wrestler from
Bemidji, was present Friday eve
ming and after the first fall chal-
lenged the winner to a contest.
After the second fall he appeared
again and said that he would
throw either man once in Is
minutes. He went one step far
ther and said that If a collection
of Soc per man was taken up he
would go on, winner take all.
~
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1926-02-11

If he threw his man in Is
minutes he would get the entire
collection and if he failed it
would go to the opponent. Plumb
did not care for any second con-
test the same evening but said
he would take him on in finish
match some other time. There
was some talk about Plumb pick
ing easy ones and he then went
on. He stayed the Is minutes
and won the handicap match.
Smith worked top speed from
start to finish and it was thrill
Ter. AS soon as Plumb wiggled
out of one hold Smith clamped
on another and clearly demon
strated that he understands the
game and has strength and
vitality. Smith claimed to weigh
only 1853 pounds, the same as
Hovde, and he took on real job
when he offered to throw Plumb
| in Is minutes. Plumb showed
himself as a real sportsman to
take on a second contest the same
evening and again clearly demon
strated that he will make it in
teresting for any wrestler of
about his weight.
The preliminary contest be-
tween Aage Lunde and Emery
Nedegaard, two local mat enter
tainers, was won by the former.
1t was 80 minute contest and
the only fall secured was that by
Lunde which came after 10
minutes and 80 seconds of wrest-
ling. Nedegaard had a body
scissors on his opponent. Lunde
raised up with Nedegaard and
dropped down on top of him,
pinning both shoulders to the
mat. After 5 minutes intermis-
sion they came together again
and wrestled 10 minutes and 80,
seconds without a fall. Nede-
Ngaard had the best wind at the
end of the contest but did not
appear to know the various holds
as well as his opponent.
A feature of the evening was
the appearance of Chris Person,
the big heavyweight wrestler of
Duluth, who came down to see
the contest and arrange for an
other wrestling match here. He
was asked to referee and willing
ly consented to act as the third

.PYROTOL ORDERS
SHOULD BE IN EARLY
Future AllOtments to Minnesota
Will Depend on Sales
Here Now.

Pyrotol to be used in Mime,
sofa the spring of 1926 should be
ordered now, says A. j. Schwan-
ties, who is in charge of the land
clearing department of the uni
versity.
Mr.. Schwantes explains that
Minnesota received an allotment
of 3 million pounds Of pyrotol
for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1926. Up to February 1 only
627, 900 pounds had been ordered.
If the 3 million pounds are not
sold by June 80, the balance will
be taken back by the government
and a new allotment made for
the following year. AS the size
of new alletments usually is
based ON the previous years con-
sumption, Minnesota farmers
must use up this years allotment
in order to be insured substan-
tial amount for the next fiscal
year
The supply of war salvaged
explosive will be exhausted in
the near future" says Mr..
Schwantes. ITO be able to pur-
chase it at from one-fourth to
one-half the price of commercial
dynamite is a rare opportunity
for every farmer who has use for
such material. Cheap pyrotol
makes possible the development
of waste lands at goodly saving
in costs.
For these reasons Minnesota
farmers should purchase pyrotol
freely while it is available. If
they do not buy it farmers in
some other state will
Mr.. Schwantes says that word
from Washington indicates that
the usual spring rush at the car
tridging plant at Barksdale, Wis
consin, will be greater than ever
this year. March and April are
the busy months. Any orders
which can be placed for ship
ment in February or early March
will avoid this rush. Early or
dering will. mean, too, that the
material will be on hand when
it is wanted in the early spring.
All orders should be sent to
Division of Agricultural En-
gineering, University Farm, St.
Paul. Carload orders should be
accompanied by remittance or
bankers acceptance at the rate
of z cents per pound Orders for
small quantities to be shipped
from either St. Paul, Bemidji, or
Virginia magazines direct to far
Imers should be- accompanied by
remittance of $3.50 per 100
pounds.
