in First Regional Game at
New Ulm

Coach Ken Stockton's Redwood
Falls cagers came through at the
district tournament at New Ulm,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, to
top their efforts with decisive 25-19
victory over New Ulm for the district
championship and the right to COM
pete for regional honors. After New
Ulm had opened the scoring with
field goal Bravinder came through
with a pair of free losses and then
the Redwood offense settled down to
the methodical business of piling up a
lead that was never threatened. New
Ulm scored two field goals with less
than a minute to play to bring their
total to 10.
The appearance of Johnson at
guard position gave Stockton's squad
a we'll balanced scoring machine with
speed enough to keep the opposition
on the defense throughout. This
team worked to perfection during the
first half with Johnson and Tom
Finn handling the ball carefully and
going through or shooting only when

MORE FILINGS MADE
FOR COUNTY OFFICE
Herman Schaffran Files Tues.
day for Commissioner of
Second District

A fight in the Second commission
er district was forecast yesterday
when Herman Schaffran of Lamber-
ton filed for commissioner of that
district. Late Tuesday there had
been six filings for county and state
offices from Redwood and Brown
counties.
w. r. Werring, who several weeks
ago filed for county attorney, is alone
on the list at this time, although he
is expected to have opposition from
at least one other candidate-to-be and
possibly two.
The state senator race is causing
considerable speculation. Two filings
have already been made for the Of

sent incumbent. Mr.. Frank Romberg
of Sleepy Eeye. The two filings are

there was little danger of losing the
ball. Laidlaw and Cuff smothered
the New Ulm offense before it got
started while Bravinder kept his man
smothered and at the same time Of
fered him no opportunity to score
from the free throw line, speciality
of his at which he is particularly
adept.
After Bravinder had tied the
score early in the first quarter Tom
Finn sank a goal from well out on
the floor to be closely followed by
rebound shot by his running mate
johnson. Two more free throws by
Cuff and a goal each by Finn and
Johnson boosted the Redwood total
while New Ulm was able to gather
but two more points. After Re,yelin
had scored for New Ulm, StocktOn's
men spurted again and rang up two
more goals with Cuff and Johnson on
the scoring end. Laidlaw's floor
work was highly effective during this
time and he was instrumental in
keeping the ball in control and work
ing it into a scoring position. The
half ended with Redwood holding a
1873 advantage.
The second half was marked by
still more careful play on the part
of the Redwood crew with New Ulm
throwing caution to the winds in an
attempt to draw within striking dis
lance. Each team scored free toss
apiece and then New Ulm counted
three more points during flash OF
fast play but free throw each by
Bravinder and Cuff made Redwood's
lead safer. Three beautiful goals by
Cuff put the game in the b., and the
remaining few minutes of play pass
ed with New Ulm failing to score un-
til after there was less than a min
ute to play.
Gibbon, the opponent in the first
round of play, failed to show any
strength and Stockton's boys coast
ed through for a 1913 win after
holding a 1872 advantage at half
time. Laidlaw and Tom Finn car
lied the scoring burden for Redwood
in this game with 13 and IL points
respectively.
Springfield, the high scoring team
of the first days play, could score no
more than one field goal in Fridays
game but did come through with
enough free losses to make it some
what of a battle until well in the
second half when Bravinder, Cuff,
Tom Finn and Johnson scored
enough points to make the win deci-
sive.

changes brought the distance up to
3,O14 yards. The first four holes re-
main the same, which is 338, 564, 100
and 35S yards respectively. Number
five has been made Dogs Leg and
was changed from 500 yards to 397
and is par A. Number six, 2O9

hole of before totaled $50 yards, but

of 239 now; being raised from 189.
The par on this hole is three. The
last hole with a former distance of
303 yards, measures 376 and is a par
4. The only change in par on the
first four holes comes from cutting
two to par 5, where as it was form
erly a 6 par. Although various
changes were made, the 35 par for
the nine holes remains the same.
In keeping with the times, and this
in the past has made the course one
of the snappiest in the state, the
local club purchased a new Toro Golf
Tractor. j. L. Parsons and Parker
Sanders were in Minneapolis last
Wednesday to make the deal. The
