Champs Nosed Out by Aurora, % to %
The Ely High School basketball
champions suffered their first setback
Of the season lat Friday night when
they fell before the strong Aurora
quint by % to q count. The game
was slow and marred by numerous
penalties and poor officiating. The
floor was exceedingly slippery and was
the cause for the locals fast offense
not to function as it did heretofore.
Ely started OF in their champion
ship form and soon held to 2 adj
vantage over their rivals The Aur-
ora team came to life soon afterwards
and forged into the lead which they
did not relinquish only once during
the remainder of the game. At the
end of the first half Aurora held a 10
to lead over Ely and increased it by
four points in the second canto. Ely,
except IN the opening minutes of play,
was far from the form they have
showed previously. The locals fast
offense did not function and the boys
could not get their plays to work
When Ely hit its stride for a couple
Of spurts. they were by far the better
team on the floor and local enthusiasts
can look for q crucial game when the
teams tangle here on January 18th
Colletd, an all-range guard Of last
season was the main cog N the Aur-
ora team, leading his mates on both
offense and defense Capt Nicholas
and Tomsich played the best bah for
the locals but their playing was not up
to standard. Nicnoias Lad his first
foul called on him in four contests in
this game and even this was booed

Terms Meanins Changed

Originally the -sim '-Salic law"
was only to a codileation of the laws
Of certain German'c tribes. including
the Salian or Meroyingian Franks
These laws were ccdified in Latin In
the early Middle ages. They related
chiefly to property and penalties for
various injuries.
The term is often applied exclusive
IL to section which relates To In
heritances. and provides that only
males inherit property. Since the
Fourteenth century Q further restric-
don In application has attached II
chiefly to those laws. In whatever
country found. which forbid female
inheritance Of the throne.

Nagurski Highly Hopored.

NdSuTSh mighty uO0OFe0.
Bronko Nagursh, The Hammer or
the North" was highly honored twice
in the past week end by Grantland
Rice, nationally known sports writer,
and Burnley, who contributes the
Sport Bug" to the leading daily news
papers Of the country.
In Golfers regular weekly radio
program last Sunday, Rice announced
his All-American football selections
and told a little about each player ne
selected on his mythical team Nag
ursk, whom Rice selected as a tackle,
was given his highest praise when he
said, "Nagursh of Minnesota was the
best all-around star of the year and
one Of the greatest football has yet to
produce. He has been used as full
back, guard and end and could always
be counted on wherever needed during
the hour. Weighing 2I0 pounds, he
was faster than most backs or ends
and was a bulwark on both offense
and defense"
In Mondays papers the Sport Bug
published the three football standouts
of 1929. NagursH of Minnesota, Dom
chess of Pittsburgh and Cannon of
Notre Dame, were the three so con-
Sidered
OF Nagursh the sport Bug" said.
"Bronko NagursH, The Hammer of
the North proved to be the greatest
all-around player seen in years. DR..
Clarence Spears calls Bronko the
greatest all-around football player
ever saw. That appraisal should
carry much weight for Spears was not
only a remarkable player himself
at Dartmouth years ago, but has seen
scores of Americas best gridsters for
upward Of 80 years. Most of this sea-
son the bucking Broncho played full
back, though he did take turn or two
as a Gopher tackle In the line or
backfeld the big Uranian was almost
las Doc Spears put IT'D an all-Ameri-
can team in himself. Because OF the
wealth Of great backs last season.
many all-American selectors assigned
him to tackle. Those who were forced
to omit the Bronko from their acco-
ladies' did so with conspicuous ahcns
and bushes"
international Falls may well feel
proud of its son, who has put them on
the map as far as pigskin history is
concerned and we join them in con-
graduating Bronko as the greatest
star Of football history.
In the past five or six years Min
nesota has been always represented On
nearly every all-American team Sc
lected and has attained a record in
that time which few other schools can
equal. Stars who have been honored
in the past few years include: Abra-
hanson. guard: Joesting, fullback;
Haycraft, end; Gibson, guard; Tanner,
end and Nagurski, fullback, tackle.
guard and end. The first and last of
these boys hail from Aurora and In
ternational Falls, both of which towns
are members of the Seventh district
Conference Of which Ely is also
member.

PIG POINT POWDER
BLAST KILLS four
Explosion at Army Ammuni-
ton Depot Severely Burns
Four Others.

BY the Associated Press
NORFOLK, Va, February 16.-War-
rant Officer r. @. Andrews, badly
burned yesterday in an explosion at the
Pig Point Army Ammunition Depot, in
which three others were killed and four
severely burned, died in the Naval Hos
pital at Portsmouth this morning.
The explosion of 1000 pounds of
powder occurred at $40 o'clock in
magazine Liz, in which the eight men,
two white and six colored, were en-
gagged in repacking the explosive. The
cause could not be learned today, as
the conditions of all Of the survivors
was such that they could not be cues
toned, and physicians at the Naval
Hospital, where they were taken, said
it probably would be two days before
questioning would be possible.
The dead, besides Andrews, are Clyde
E. Curling, 35, civil service employe,
classed as labor foreman and whose
residence was on the Pig Point ReSer-
walton, and John Duncan and Sam
Freeman of Norfolk County, both col
ored laborers.
Mai. E. H. Chase, commandant OF
the ammunition depot. classed the ex-
plosion as a small one" saying there
was no defamation, but merely a flare;
hence failure of the explosion to be
heard in the surrounding territory. The
magazines are SO constructed, he said,
that in case of an explosion they col
lapse instead of blowing outward.
The worknen were engaged in taking
the powder from steel box car to the
magazine The car was badly wrecked.
