Quints Slump Farther.
BY Charles Gallagher

The Ely Junior College and High
School basketball teams, the only ones
to see action last week both slumped
farther down the list in the standings
of the Little Ten" and district con-
ferenceS. This marked the third con-
secutive week the local teams have
gone without a victory and it looks
as if both quintS are headed for the
cellar berthS instead of the top ones.
The high school quint who went to
Virginia Friday evening was soundly
trounced by 81 to count. Except
for short time in the first quarter,
Virginia was constantly in the lead
and kept adding to its margin of VIC
tory throughout the game
Ely was decidedly off form in all
stages of the game, connecting with
the hoop for but single field goal
while Virginia counted nine, Tomsich
scoring Ely's basket in the early stages
of the game. Virginia with two vet
erans from last year now back in their
lineup have probably the strongest
team in the district. Slade, one of the
best forwards of last season and DAM
men a clever center have been back
since the second semester and have
greatly strengthened the Queen City
team. On the other hand, Ely has
failed to register single victory since
losing the services of Bob Nicholas and
have failed to show any startling
basketball with the exception of the
Two Harbors game when they met de-
feat by four points.
The boys have Biwabik, Gilbert,
Tower and Mountain Iron left to play,
the latter three are among the strongest
teams in the district and it appears
that Ely may end up far down the
select list at the end of the season.
In the Virginia game, Tomsich was
the best performer for the locals while
Slade, Dammen and LaZella carried
the brunt of the Virginia team.

Eveleth Tough Game.
In the Junior College game at Eve
leth on Wednesday evening the local
boys we admit were plainly robbed of
a victory in an exceedingly poorly
officiated game The game was fast
and exceedingly rough throughout,
twenty-five fouls being called on the
two quints during the game.
1t evidently seemed, according to off,
ciating, as if some one had it in for
Ely and were bound to defeat them at
any rate. Gerzin, Smrekar and Ban
ovetz, the three stars of the Jaysee
team, all were removed from the game
with four personal fouls. 1t seemed as
if some one knew just what men were
needed to be gotten out of the local
lineup in order for Eveleth to secure
a victory.
The locals started out fast and
jumped into a 10 to l lead before
Eveleth knew they were in a basket
ball game. The boys maintained their
lead throughout the rest of the opening
period and the second canto. In the
second half however, Eveleth rallied
and were greatly helped along by the
officials who removed the three Ely
stars from the game, Eveleth finally
winning out by a 40 to 35 count. The
game was anybody's until the final
whistle despite the fact that the Ely
quint was composed largely of SUBJ
stitutes during the major part of the
final canto.
The defeat dropped the local quint
into fifth place below Eveleth but with
three victories in their remaining
games with Coleraine, Duluth and Vir-
ginia, the latter two at home. The
Eveleth defeat, however, completely
eliminated Ely from any possible chance
for the championship this year. It
now appears to be between Hibbing and
Virginia with Hibbing having better
chance possibly than the Queen City
quint.

HIGH SPEED USED
IN SNOW FLOWING
NEW METHOD HAS MANY AD-
VANTAGES, BUT COOPERATlON
OF MOTORISTS is NECESSARY.

When you meet a snowplow on the
highway, drive carefully, or stop ana
wait. This has been a good rule ever
since snow removal was first started
on the rural roads, says a Highway
bulletin, but it is more pertinent now
than ever, since the state and many
counties have adopted the high speed
method of opening the roads.
Snow blowing methods have changed
RAPIDLY since this kind of winter road
work was started. Snow plows now
throw instead of pushing the snow on
the roads. At the start snow plowlng
was sometimes done by teams and
graders, otherwise by slow moving
trucks or tractors which opened path
but left the snow in ridges on the two
road sides. Today most of the snow
plows> are attached to high powered
trucks, moving at high speed ana
throwing the snow clear off the road
side.
The first advantage Of the present
method is quicker opening of the roads
after a storm The old units moved
from three to ten miles an hour, while
the new units operate as fast as thirty
miles. The next advantage in that by
throwing the snow off the road, 1t Is
spread so it does not form ridges which
catch more drifts. Under the old
method the ridges were pushed of the
road on later trips, if time permitted,
but if another storm came before this
was done, the roads were blocked worse
than before.
BY spreading the snow over the road
sides, snow plowing does not interfere
as much with sleighing as was the
case in the early methods. Neither
does it block side roads as badly as
under the old method. The blocking
of side roads by the plowing has been
the cause of frequent complaint, but
Commissioner G. M. BabcOck says 1t
is impossible to do efficient blowing II
the plows are to stop and open every
side road After highways are opened,
If time permits the plows will return
and make openings into the cross
roads, but this cannot be done when
the snow storms come frequently.
ITO work effectively, the plows must
travel at uniform and fairly high
speed" Mr.. Babcock says. "They can
not stop or deviate from their course
either for side roads or for cars on the
roads. We are therefore asking mot
orists to drive as slowly as possible,
and as far from the center of the road
as they can, when they meet snow
plows, or better yet, to stop. The snow
plow operators will use every possible
precaution to avoid accidents, but if
the motoring public will cooperate it
will both promote safety and help us
open the roads more quickly"
Several reports have been received of
windshields broken by flying snow.
This seldom happens to cars standing
still, but when cars going at high speed
are hit, the impact causes trouble
The state still keeps number of the
slow moving units in reserve to open
deep drifts, but in ordinary snow falls
most of the work Is done by high speed
outfits.
