Local Business Men Are
Opening the Highways
CONTINUED from Page One)

Wr. Mauss> said that the small
snow pillow recently purchased by
the city of Melrose had given quite
good satisfaction prior to the last
snow, but now it was out of COM
mission.
Sigurd Holme said the best way
to handle the situation was a CUES
tion. He said Sank Centre should
and would be severely criticized
by the farmers if they laid down
on the job.
Jos. Sauer said that while, in
his judgment, it was county pro-
position something should be done
at once to afford temporary relief.
j. b. Schoenhoff was convinced
that the employment of men and
teams to open the county and
township roads would create very
favorable impression among the
farmers.
It was decided to raise money
for this purpose. Nearly 5000
was raised by the business men
present. Since then the fund has
been increased to approximately
$500.
1t was decided to pay labor 35
cents per hour, each man to furn-
ish his own shovel. Time was to
be paid from the time they left the
city until they returned.
A committee consisting of H. w.
Bishop, JOS. Sauer, G. Hillerud,
P. B. Hanson, w. M. Parker and
County Commissioner Borgmann
were appointed to handle the stu
alton. 49,. .
About 30 men and several teams
were out Monday and Tuesday and
many miles of road were opened
up. In some sections the farmers
along the way greeted them with
hot coffee and sandwiches.
A bit of comedy was injected in
to the situation Sunday evening
when a delegation of about 20
telephoned Mayor Whitson, stating
that they had 35 men who were
willing to give their time free to
the city for a coupleof days. The
string attached to the proposition
was that the Star of Chief of Po-
lice Miller was surned over to
them. Quite naturally the mayor
refused to be inundated. The
delegation later called on the
Committee at the Community Club
rooms and issued like ultima
tum. They were informed that the
matter of employing or firing the
police was a sole perogatiVe of the
mayor. The committee promised
to present their petition without
recommendation. With this under
standing they decided to work
Monday.
Monday evening the teapot
tempest had very largely subsidized
and practically all of the men who
rendered splendid service Monday,
decided to continue the work.

Totals II 6 8 8 2
Win Easily From Willard

The Main Streeters, failing to
meet with any noticeable opposi-
ton in their game with Willard
here Friday night, won by a score
of as to 8, after threatening in
the first quarter to make a game of
it by failing to gain control Of
their faculties OF coordination well
enough to demonstrate. their sup
eriority over the weakest team in
the district. - va
The first period ended 8 to2 and
the half 10 to 8, with the handful
of spectators still squirlning in
their seats from sympathetic con-
vulsions occasioned by witnessing
what was about the most awkward
exhibition of near basketball dis
played in these parts for some
time. Willard was held to a single
field goal by Hogan in this half. 1t
was also Hogan who tossed in Viii
lard's two baskets in the second
half to bring his total to z points
for the game.
Opening the last half the locals
got off few plays in snappy
fashion and from then on the score
mounted rapidly. The passing
was much improved as well as the
shooting. When the final whistle
blew the visitors were buried under
10 field. goals and 7 free throws
made good out of IA tries. Jim
O'Gara led the scoring with six
baskets and two free throws for
Ia points, followed by Lewis with
five baskets and one free throw.
Captain Miller shared four field
goals and two foul goals, Kells
two and one, Peterson one of each
variety and Mayors the other two
pointer. Gruetzmacher, Robi-
schon, Bradley, Gray and Cliff al
so got into the game for a few
minutes, although not breaking in
to the scoring column.

Lose to Osakis, 40 to %

"A faSt-Stepplng OSaklS flVe de-
feated the local high school bas-
ketball team here Friday night, 40
to %, by taking a commanding
lead of IA to 2 in the first quarter,
that exactly represented their mar
gain for victory.
Held to single field goal in the
first period the Main Streeters
seemed demoralized by the flashy
short-pass offense of Coach Bla-
has dribblers. Their own scoring
sallies were stopped in mid-foor by
the Osakis defense, which matched
the offense in effectiveness. The
attack was led by Captain Greeley,
Fezler, pivot man, and Waggoner,
who seemed to find it simple mat
ter to dash through, past and be-
hind the Sank Centre defense,
looping them in with one hand
generally on a dead run by the
basket. The half ended % to 8,
scoring for the second quarter
having been on more even terms.
Apparently an Grafton delivered
with great fervor by Coach Kaslow
to his men between halves had its
effect, for with renewed drive and
aggressiveness the locals changed
the complexion of the game in the
second half. With an improved de-
tense and making their shots good,
they outscored Osakis 20 to II,
the field goal count being Is and
IL. But the visitors big lead of
the initial period was too great to
be overcome. ..
Greeley led the scoring with five
baskets and seven out of eight
throws for II points, followed by
Fezler, who also got five baskets.
For Sank Centre, Peterson was
high scorer, with five field goals
and four foul tries for IA points.
O'Gara was the fourth to toss in
five baskets during the game.

Westphal Another Joesting?

The following item is taken
from the Long Prairie Leader:
ED Westphal, local boy who is
in his Freshman year at the State
University, was one of those hon
ored at the annual M banquet at
the University last week, having
been awarded the numerals which
are given members of the Fresh
man football team at the time let
tiers are given to members of the
first team squad. During the
past season, in games between the
Freshmen and the first string
team, Eds work has been out
standing, and he appears as the
logical successor to Capt. Joesting,
All-American fullback, who has
completed his. three years of play
with Minnesota. Eds fine play
during the fall has frequently
been referred to in a compliment
airy way by sports writer's, and
his local friends are looking for
ward with pleasure to seeing him
perform as a Varsity star next
fall" 49,. !. =. =
Local football and basketball
fans probably can remember hav-
ing seen Westphal in action on
Long Prairie high school teams, if
not in football then in, basketball.
He was probably the heaviest pivot
man on any high school basketball
team in the state.
Hopes of Westphal's friends that
he will be another Joesting may
be realized. 1t would seem posi-
BILE, however, that in the process
of shifting his men about in the
different positions, as Coach Spears
is wont to do at the start of the
season, Westphal may be assign
ed a guard or tackle job instead.
He will have formidable rivals
in Donald Knoerr, one of Joest-
ing's understudies the past season,
and Bronko Nagurski, who has
been mentioned by experts as a
candidate for. the fullback job de-
spite, reputation he made as a

the state is better equipped for
this work than is Todd county. No
county has a better system and in
no county is the organization now
ready for better or more efficient
work. The expense is ridiculous
ly small as compared with the ben
efits. The time is coming when
every county of the state will fol-
low the lead of Todd county and
plan regularly for winter roads.
"The time is also coming when
townships will adopt some sort of
policy in regard to keeping town
roads open in winter time. The
opening of town roads presents a
more difficult problem because as
arule town roads are not graded
and the snow removal is therefore
a bigger job. However, sooner or
later ways and means will be de-
vised for opening town or side
roads and travel everywhere will
be as common and as easy in jan
uary as it is in June.
In the meantime Todd county, as
usual, has taken the lead in very
important forward step and is to-
day the envy of hundreds of thou
sands of people in all parts of our
state. 49,. ...
The county roads of the county
were completely proved out Tues
day afternoon with the exception
of big drift on the west side of
Osakis lake, near the P. P. Peter
son farm. This drift is about g.
900 feet long and from six tn eight
feet deep. The plow was unable
to get through it. All the other
roads of the county were opened.
In addition, the road was plowed
into Osakis village and the FAIRY
Lake road was plowed into Sank
Centre. The road was also plowed
to the Rose cemetery, west of Bur-
leene and WHkeham townships, in
order to accommodate farmers in
that section. We understand no
interest was shown by the county
commissioners in Wadena county
for the Verndale district in the
matter of running the Todd coun-
ty pillow into Verndale, SO the pillow
stopped work at the county line.
The big snow storm which set in
Tuesday night and continued yes
terday will doubtless block some
of the roads again, but having
been plowed out previous to the
storm the second trip will be easy
as there will he no caked snow or
frozen ice to obstruct. -

WEEKLY SPORTS REVIEW
By Tony Schoenhoff

The feature of the game. if
any, was the officiating by Messrs.
Morgan and Nicholson. With this
pair calling violations and super
vising things players soon get an
idea as to the why and wherefore
of the rules. The game really
did not deserve the class of atten-
ton it received from these two
officials.
