Most Successful Tournament Ever Conducted in the North

Winning Four Straight Games After Hard Battles.
PLAYS CHISHOLM TONIGHT AT EVELETH.
Smrekar the Outstanding Star in the Meet With "a Field

Field Goals and Free Throws

Coming back in the second half, and
completely reversing its first half form,
Buckley's porteges rallied to defeat the
Gilbert quint 20 to 81, for the cham
pionship of the Seventh District at
the Memorial Gymnasium Saturday
evening amid the most insistent root
ing, the blaring of bands and before
a crowd estimated at 5000 people,
nearly a thousand of which had
:ourneyed up from Gilbert to lend
their support to the home team in the
c. ucial battle.
Long before the beginning of the
game every available seat in the spac-
icus Gymnasium had been filled with
an enthusiastic crowd Later corners
were forced to stand. Halsey Hall,
sports writer on the Minneapolis
Journal refereed the game while
Mitchell of st. Paul did the umpiring.
Mr. Hall also covered the tournament
for his paper in a fine manner and in
his final analysis of the tournament
pronounced Smrekar the outstand-
ing star of the meet.
Gilbert opened with whirwind at
tack Immediately after the blowing of
the whistle and before the quarter
ended had accumulated an 8 to lead
At the end of the half the Gilbert crew
were leading by 10 points. The Ely
wrecking crew came back after the
half with a complete reversal of form
and before the third quarter ended,
had cut the score ID to Is in Gilbert's
favor. In this quarter the Ely team ac-
cumulated 9 points to make their
score Is while Gilbert only annexed
two points to their score. The last
period only repeated the ravages of
the Ely boys on the score of their adj
rersaries.
Gilbert was played off its feet in
this stanza running Ely's score from
Is to % and allowing Gilbert only
measly little three as their share At
one time in the last period it looked
rather black for Ely. This was when
Banovetz left the game on fouls. The
dark cloud was quickly dispelled when
Gouze, who replaced him, tailed two
baskets and a free throw in rapid
succession. GouZe saved the day. He
was remarkably fast and true on the
floor and his activity had the Gilbert
boys filled with awe Unlike some of
the other games, when Sailing SEEM
ed to be the order when teams were
in the lead, the final game which dem
onstrated Ely the champions of the
tournament and the Seventh District,
was fast and hotly contested to the
bitter end.
The lineup and summary for the
championship game was as follows:

by eliminating one of the strongest
teams entered in the meet. The score
does not indicate the closeness of the
play. Biwabik scored first by making
a field goal three minutes after play
started. Aurota soon found itself and
at the quarter was leading, Z to 4.
The half ended IA to for Aurora,
Biwabik being held to a single free
throw, while Aurora doubled its score
Of the first quarter.
The third quarter was a repetition
Of the second quarter, with Aurora
leading, 20 to Z. The points for BIZ
wabik were free throws. In the last
quarter Aurora was contented to use
substitutes and played stalling game
and Biwabik scored a free throw and
a field goal, while Aurora made but 2
points on free throws in this last
period.
E. Kiskinen and Maxi led in the
scoring for Aurora, although the rest
OF the team was in the game every
minute and played splendid passing
game. Colletti. who started all of
Aurora's offensive plays, was also
star on the defense.
Faber and NJ Urik showed up best
for the losers on offenSe and Emo the
best on defense

RANCE ARTIST
ELY RECITAL

Before a small but enthusiastic aud
fence at the Washington Auditorium
last Sunday, Nicholas Furjanik of Vir-
ginia, appeared in violin recital In
which he was assisted by Ruth Van
Buren, Nelson at the piano.
Mr.. Furjanik Is young man Of
pleasing appearance and his recital was
appreciated as the persistent applause
by which each number on his we'll
balanced program was received He
opened with the rather difficult "Con-
certo" in three parts by Mendelssohn
in which his artistic ability came to
the fore. The tones produced on his
instrument are true and sweet. His
assistant Ruth Van Buren, Nelson

sides accompanying MIR. Furjanik Both

CIVIL WAR THREAT
 GESTURES CHINESE
Gen. Chang Fat-KWei's Troops
 Clash With NatiOnaiStS

Shanghai. Sept. 21 (UP)-A new civil war has broken out in China. Despite the belief that the current controversy between Ranking and Moscow would unite the Chinese in a common cause, the political an- tagonisms which have existed in China since the revolution fared up afrosh.
 General Chang Fat-kwei's fourth division, known as the "Ironsides" ] clashed with troops Of the national government in western Hupeh. The national government immedi- ately sent an order dismissing Gen. eral Chang from service for moving
 his troops without authority. The "1ronsidA" division. apparent { ly. was being moved across country from lchanG for the possible pur- pose Of reaching the Peiping Han koW railway, which would enable General Chang 10 take up q more strategic position against the troops of the central government. It was understood here also that General Chang intended to make an effort to form a juncture with
 the armies Of Marshal Feng Yu- Hsiang, the so-called Christian Goneral,' who has been at odds with the Ranking government ever since he was dismissed from his various posts with the national gov crnment.
 The object Of forming this alli- ance, it was believed here. was for a concerted attack and a revolt against Ranking. Latest reports reaching here said Marshal Feng. who had promised General Chiang kal-Shek,
 head Of the national government. to leave China had broken his prom
 iseS.
 Marshall Feng had said he wanted
 10 travel to the United States to re
