NOT ID COMPETE IN HOCKEY GAMES
Lack Of Players Keeps United
 States Out of Olympics

New York. Jan. 20 R-Lack of a representative group of hockey players remained a barrier today to Americas entry in the Olympic championships.
 Although the Augsburg college sextet of Minneapolis and the Uni- versity club of Boston were consid- cred as likely prospects, the origin al action of the American Olympic committee on January 10 in deciding against hockey competition stands Major General Douglas Macarthur chairman of the committee. declared yesterday that the Augsburg team was not sufficiently qualified to carry the United States emblem to St. Moritz.
 However, General Macarthur ex- pressed regret that no trials were held to decide a hockey representa- ton and in view of such a situation, tho members of the Olympic com- mittee have decided against the Augsburg candidacy.
 He said no tryouts were contem- plated.
 Notice of the committees action was forwarded to William $. Had dock, president of the United States Amateur Hockey association. at Pittsburgh.
 Offer of a test match to determine Augsburg'H fitness was made by the Boston club in view of tho stand of the American Olympic body.
 George Owen. Sr.. chairman of the University club hockey committee. said the expense involved would keep the Boston team from the Olympic competition but that it would glad ly" play Augsburg in Boston or New York if such . match was sought officially.
 Learning of tho refusal to recoE- nize Augsburg. Haddock declared no other team would be approved by his association. He said Augsburg was unquestionably qualified 10 represent this country and would defeat all Olympic contenders with the possible exception of the Toropto Grads, Can adian entry. and would have more than an outside chance to defeat them"
 The Augsburg team has made ar- rangements to sail for Switzerland on January 25. according to Had dock.

Bridgeport Batder Favored to
 Beat Belgian in Boston

Boston, Jan. 20 R-Jack Delaney and Jack Humbeck of Belgium are to stage an elimination all their own when they meet over the 1O-round route at Mechanics hall here to- night.
 The Bridgeport. Conn.,, battler was faNortte by virtue Of his recent win over Paul Berlenbach. the erstwhile Astoria assa ssin. but Humbeck. a oo5 pound. blonde haired protege of Tommy Burns. has a reputation himself.
 In es bouts he has never been flattened.
 Delaney recently renounced his light heavyweight aspirations and throne to seek heavyweight honors. Earlier in the week he scored 20 second knockout over Sully Mont gomery in New York city. and today was pronounced fit and ready for the fray.
 His friends saw possibility that he might repeat the Montgomery finale. but experts here agreed that the hard hitting Canadian was like ly to have a battle on his hands.
 Upon the outcome of tonight's fray will depend to large extent the future of bctll heavyweights as ''log- ical contenders" to Gene Tunney. Delaney is conceding more than 20 pounds to the Belgian "cyclone." The Bridgeport man expects 10 weigh in at ls1 pounds.

SO Years

John A. Scott, pioneer resident
of this locality, passed away at the
Bethesda hospital, st. Paul Thurs
day, May 10, 1928 at 9:20 a. M,
after an illness of several weeks.
Nine. weeks ago Mr.. Scott went to
st. Paul and entered the hospital
to submit to an. operation for
kidney trouble. Following his OPP
Grafton he did not regain strength,
but grew steadily worse until he
was called to his external rest.
The deceased !: was born in

moved to Minneapolis, at which
place he spent his childhood and
early manhood. At the age of 10
he moved to near Westport and
took up farming. During period
of fifty years he was actively en-
gagged in this vocation and it was
not until nine years ago that he
relinquished the farm and moved

Lawrence Nelson, Little

Turned Over to Federal Author.
ties Charged with Embezzele-
ment and Forgery

The State Parole Board has re-
leased Lawrence Nelson from the
reformatory at st. Cloud and has
turned him over to the Federal
authorities where he will answer
charges of embezzlement in the
matter of the management of the
Todd County Credit Company,
which he, with others, operated in
connection with the Little Sank
State Bank which failed some years
ago.
Mr.. Nelson had served a little
over three years of a ten-year SEN
tence. We understand that the Pa
role Board in considering his case
had numerous petitions from Little
Sank community protesting against
the parole and also letters from
members of the jury and also from
County Attorney Wood backing up
the protest petitions.
Whether or not Mr.. Nelson has
been released on bail by the Fed
eral authorities or whether he is in
jail somewhere pending action by
the Federal authorities we have
not been able to learn.
He is under Federal indictment
for misuse of funds in connection
with loans made through the Gov
eminent Land Bank and is also
under Indictment for forgery in
connection with notes handled by
the credit company. For the past
two years persistent efforts by his
friends had been made to secure
his release and the circumstance
that he has now been parolled and
released to the Federal authorities
has given rise to rumors that Mr..
Nelson prefers it that way and has
some assurance that a plea OF
guilty to the Federal charges will
bring him a fine and not a con-
tinued Jail sentence.
The Little Sank State Bank was
looted and the failure was a bad
one. The depositors lost every
thing and in addition stockholders
and others had heavy losses. 1t is
estimated that the total losses as a
result of the failure will be up
wards of $4,000 to $75,0OO-
