Locals Rally To Down Gilbert

After downing the strong Virginia
team on Friday the locals went to
Gilbert on Saturday and took the
strong Gilbert team into camp by a
score of 20 to II. The game was fast
and exciting throughout with the lead
see-sawing back and forth until the
final minutes of the contest when
Ely forged into the lead and held it.
Capt. Nicholas again was the main
factor in Ely's victory leading his
mates on virtually every play and
scoring three field goals and two gift
losses. Nicholas was by far the best
man on the floor. His uncanny floor
work and clever passing enabled the
Ely quint to come from behind in the
second half and win the game. Krall
of Ely and Nagolsk and Zgonc of
Gilbert each scored six points to give
Nicholas a close battle for high point
honorS
Ely's clever ability to cage free
throws proved the margin of victory
for the locals Although they were
outshot Ito in field goals by Gilbert,
the locals had an uncanny eye for the
basket and Gagged 10 out of Is free
throws as compared to three out of a
possible nine for Gilbert.
Ely was on the short end of Is to
IL score at the end of the first half
but came back in the second period to
take an early lead and maintain it
throughout the game. Ely put up so
tight defense in the second half that
Gilbert was able to cage but a single
field goal and two free throws Ely
continued their fast offense along with
their tight defense however, and Gagged
three field goals and two free throws
in the second half
The game was marked by several
outshot to in field goals by Gilbert.
r. Indy of Ely was elected from the
game with four personals while Vuc-
inovich, Zgonc and Nagolsh of Gill
bert each had three fouls against
them.

Champs Hit Stride no Down VIRGINIA.
BY Charles Gallagher

CnampS hit stride To Down virginia
The Ely high school basketball team
flashed its brilliant form last week to
down Virginia here by Is to Is
score and the next evening journeyed
to Gilbert and took them into camp
by a 20 to II score.
Capt. Bob Nicholas, the only vet of
last season, led his mates in both
victories. Bob scored nine points in
the Virginia game to tie with Tomsich
for high point honors and at Gilbert
he Gagged three field goals and two free
throws to garner high point honors
of the game. In the three ganldS
played this season Bob has been high
scorer in all of them and has not had
foul called against him for the
season.
In the Virginia game Ely started
off with a fast offense that Melted
them three field goals in rapid sue
cession Ely scored first when Toms
ich dropped a pot shot after pass
from Nicholas. TomSich again Gagged
pretty field goal few seconds later
and Nicholas followed up with pretty
basket to give Ely a 6 to lead
Tomsich was fouled and sank his gift
toss to give Ely Z to lead. Vir-
GINA called time out and pulled them
selves together. Virginia scored a
basket, free throw and basket in
rapid succession to bring the score to
to 5. Krall Gagged pretty basket to
give Ely a 9 to lead at the end of
the quarter.
At the opening of the second quarter
Nicholas Gagged long field goal which
was followed by two pretty long field
shots by Leman, Virginia substitute
Tomsich and Indy each Gagged field
goal to boost Ely's lead. Hall Gagged
field goal for Virginia as the half
ended with Ely leading Is to IL.
At the start of the second half Ely
came back strong as Tomsich, Mich
olas and Indy scored field goals in
rapid succession. The play was ex-
ceedingly fast in this quarter, with
the officials hardly able to follow the
play. Lazella Gagged field goal for
Virginia in this quarter and Ely lead
by 81 to Is score at the start of the
last period.
Krall and Nicholas each scored gift
losses to boost Ely's lead as Issacson
dropped in a field goal for Virginia.
Ely continued to keep possession Of
the ball and played slow but care
full stalling game. In the closing Sec
onds of play Nicholas raced down the
court to intercept Virginia pass and
drop in a pretty shot that ended the
scoring with Ely on the long end of
Is to Is count.
Ely Gagged three out of six of her
gift losses as compared to one out of
six for Virginia. Each team had five
fouls called on them with Peplinjak
of Virginia and Indy having three
each.

Ely Meets aurora Tonight

The Ely high teams will both
journey to Aurora where they play
the Aurora high regulars and B"
teams tonight Aurora defeated Vir-
ginia in an overtime game and last
week lost to Tower by Is to 9
score after leading Tower by to
score at the end of the first half.
Aurora is an exceedingly hard team
to defeat on their own floor and the
locals will have their hands full in
trying to keep their slate clean. If
the boys come through with another
win, which we predict they will, they
will have defeated four of the strong
est teams for district honors. This
will be the last game until after the
holidays when the local Collegians
will meet the championship Virginia
Jaysees on January 10 in Virginia.
The following night the locals will
play Eveleth Junior College team here
in a double header, the Ely and Eveleth
high schools also slated to clash here
on the same evening. The boys SWIM
ming team will also open their season
on the same evening when they go TO
Aurora to take on the Aurora
splaShers in dual meet.
The high school basketball team,
despite the fact that they had only
one vet, Capt Bob Nicholas, from last
years championship team have
rounded into one Of the best quints In
the district. Krall, playing his first
year of basketball has turned in good
accounts of himself in all three games.
Tomsich and Grahek, members of last
years "B" team are playing like vet
Grams, Tomsich teaming up with MIC
.holas in splendid style to give the Ely
quint one of the fastest offenses ever
seen here. Indy, reserve man from
last year and Grahek have given
very good account of themselves in
games so far and they have proved
to be guards who are men hard to
pass. And also Capt. Bob Nicholas,
stellar range athlete, has been playing
his old style ball to lead his mates
and keep them going all the time.
Incidentally he has been high point
man in every game and has yet to
have foul called on him.
Tower Gains Gold Brick
BY virtue of the 16 to win over the
Aurora quint last week, the Tower
high school team now possesses the
seventh district gold brick which was
donated this year by the Virginia team.
Virginia donated the brick this season
and announced that the first team to
defeat them would be awarded the
brick and could keep it until another
seventh district team defeated them,
so that the brick may change hands
often this season. Aurora captured it
from Virginia when they defeated
them in the opening game of the
season. Tower captured it last week
and will keep it until at least January
10. when they will journey to Virginia.
Virginia will then have chance to
regain the brick for a while at least.
It is too bad Ely did not play Vir-
GINA in the opening game so that they
might have won the brick to start the
season. If Virginia captures it from
Tower It may be several weeks be-
fore Ely will even get chance to
capture it.

Lose First Game to Gilbert

On the next evening the reserves
did not fare so well and took neat
trimming from Gilbert by II to
score. Ely was held up to single
field goal by Antoncich and two gift
losses by Gonzales. The boys scored
all four of their points in the first
half while they held the Gilbert team
to six points In the second half how
ever the Gilbert team came back
strong and the locals withered before
the fast pace of Gilbert. Ely was held
scoreleSs in the entire second half
while the Gilbert team connected for
five field goals and gift toss to total
II points.
Despite the loss, Antoncich and
Brobin again played good ball for Ely
and turned in a good account OF
themselves

SECRETS OF

TUE upper surface OF the tongue

taste. This is the organ which
receives the impression or sensa-
ton of taste. From the tongue
nerves carry the sensation to the
brain where the sensation is in.
terpreted and recorded as taste
and its kind.
Undoubtedly you have noticed
how rough the tongue is. This
is due to It's "papillae." tiny pro-
jections, in the substance of
which the nerves end.
Rather strange. perhaps. 10 the
fact that nothing can be per-
ceived as tasting anything unless
the substance be In solution. Sa-
Iva helps In this respect as re-
CARDS dry substances.
The tongue itself--or rather its
papillae-likewise must be moist
in order to perceive taste.

For the sense Of taste to be

The special organs of the
