Minnesota Legion Post Activities
Chairman, Dr. A. F. Branton of Will
mar, urges posts to form quartettes;
adding: Your community needs one
at entertainments. Such a musical
organization advertises your post and
town and puts money in your treas

will enjoy singing together, and
though they may not be the finest on
earth, they will be big asset to your
post"

favor he changed his mind and cal
led it tie. In the backstroke one Of
the Gilbert swimmers turned COM
pletely over before he touched at the
first two turns, which. according 70
the rules. is foul for which the
swimmer should have been disquali-
fled. Then again in the medley relay,
the last event, the anchor man Tor
Gilbert, swimming the free style, did
not touch the end of the pool with
his hand before turning and pushing
off, for which offenSe he also should
aave been disqualified.
A good swimming referee is rather
hard to secure and should be selected
only from the list of recommended
officials for swimming given in the
the swimming guide. However, that
Saturday we were unable to obtain
the services OF any of the recon-
mended officials as they served as
such elsewhere.
The score as it stood was Gilbert
80, Ely 80, while it should have been
Ely 80, Gilbert 81.
The stars of the meet were Som
rock, Paapanen and Kran and the
events in which they took part in
were cinched from the start to the
finish. In the 200 yard free style,
Starch of Gilbert set the pace but
Somrock kept up to him for eight
lengths then sprinted and COPIED
first place at the finish.
The hundred yard free style event
was started off with each swimmer
taking a long start. Paapanen took
the lead leaving Somrock and Saari to
battle for second place. Saari nosed
out Somrock by only half stroke
and placed second.
Krall showed his skill on Tile board
by taking first His dives were well
performed even though the scoring
of the referee was low.
