ball and started off tackle, lodged
around the end, tore down to the free
throw mark, and with mighty pass,
heaved it through the hoop. The
second came when Leon H. himself
xxx slipped in the luckiest basket
l have ever seen made. The Leans
lonesome basket came when Lewie
Polaczyk, after some terrible shoot
ing, at last, by some miraculous luck,
connected with the hoop. His Won
derful dribbling was the great fea-
ture of the game. Don't leave this
part out, Lewie).
The Polo Game was full of loop the
loops and tailspins. The side Rex
Miller was on got behind. Rex was
mad. After frantic dashing on his
part he succeeded in tying the xxx
score. Another dash on the part of
his team resulted in another score.
Then the little squirt quit because he
thought he would get beat.
The tug-of-war proved to be good
while it lasted. A slippery floor
caused many a spill. The first ward
won two out of three from the second
ward.
A striking contrast was presented
in the games. We found in the line
up, none other than Joe Tyson, eigh-
ty-four year old athlete. In the Mid
gets we found the face of "Perk'
Cheney, the smallest player of the
night. Their one likeness was that
both are crack shots. There can be
no doubt about this.-By Billy Finn,

PIERCE TALKS TO
MINI. u. ALUMNI
Twenty-FOur Redwood Falls Al
umni of MINI. University
in Meeting Saturday

Twenty-four alumni of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota attended the an
nual luncheon-meeting held at the
Ramsey Hotel last Saturday after
noon. E. B. Pierce, general Alumni
secretary of Minnesota, talked on the
athletic situation at the University of
Minnesota, the new developments in
building and gave general report of
the new building plan.
Stating that so much misinforma-
ton and so many false rumors re-
garding the selection Of a football
coach to succeed Clarence w. Spears
have appeared in the public press,
and that now that the situation is
closed, the alumni were entitled to
the facts, Mr.. Pierce dwelled at
length on this subject.
He stated, "On January 16 meet
ing of the Senate Committee on In
tercollegiate Athletics was called for
the purpose of conducting routine
business. At the close of that meet
ing the question was raised as to
whether or not this committee should
take any initiative with regard to the
selection of new coach. 1t was de-
cided that it might be desirable to ap-
point a special committee which
would tender it's services to President
Coffman in case he cared to make
use of them. The committee named
was composed of Mr.. Luehring, Mr..
Middlebrook, and Mr.. Paige; the
alumni secretary serving only an ex-
officio capacity as chairman of the
Senate Committee. The group met
with President Coffman and rendered
it's services. They were accepted.
"The president had already made
some Investigations with regard to
new men, letters had been received
by individual members of the COM
mittee, and all this correspondence
was turned over to Mr.. Luehring who
was in charge of assembling the data.
Before long the list of available cam
names. Many of these were elimin-
ated at sight, but the records of all
likely prospects were invest gated
thoroughly. The confidential opin-
ions of older coaches in the Confer
ence and elsewhere were solicited and
secured, and with all of these data
as background the committee inter-
viewed number of individuals per-
sonally in lengthy conferences and
finally the selection simmered down
tO fOTr or five men
"The committee started out with
the understanding that other things
being equal they would like to secure
a Minnesota alumnus for the job and
considered very carefully the qualific-
atoms of all the alumni who were
mentioned. l have refrained from
mentioning the names of these men,
for it would not seem fair to them to
make comparisons in print or to state
the reasons that prompted the COM
mittee to eliminate this or that per-

ing the resignation the Park Board

Again Billy Finn, eleven year old
sports writer for the Gazette, comes
through with a real story on the
Legion Athletic Carnival at the
Armory last week. It's worth read
ing, don't miss it. Here it is:
The Legion Athletic Carnival at
the armory last wednesday night
proved to be a great success. In the
preliminary game the Flyweights
overcame the MiCgets by the score
of ten to five. The loss of Serkland
of the Midgets probably was the
cause of the score as he was captain
of that team. Cole of the Flyweights
didxxxxx the most scoring by flip
ping two field goals. Mertz and Far
vel also connected for basket of
that type for the Flyweights. Fagen
and Finn, capt., got free throw
each out of the deal. xxxxx Warner
and Otto, although not making any
baskets, played good games.
Duea led the scoring for the Mid
gets by throwing one of each kind,
with the Midget Cheney making the
other field goal. The valiant work of
Mckay, Wolverton, Alexander and
Wheeler prevented the Flyweights
from xxxxx turning the game xxx
into runaway.
In my opinion most of the audience
came to see a basketball game be-
tween the Fats and the Leans but
have finally decided that it was a
! football game. The game ended with
the score standing a to 2 in favor of
the Fats. The Fats got their first
basket when Lee Alexander got the

1T is with considerable sat-
isfactiOn to recall the splendid
spOrtsmanship the people of
Redwood Falls showed at our
tournament at Redwood Falls
last year. This splendid sup
port has also been very evident
during the present basket ball
season. We anticipate the
same interest and clean sports
manship on the part of our fol-
lowers at New Ulm.. What
rOOters of other schools do
hOuld not determine our
spOrtsmanship but rather what
our school does should influence
other schools to carry out good
craftsmanship. Lets be lead

SPRINGFIELD;
CLOSE SEASON
Locals Close Season Without a
Loss in District by Defeating
Springfield 25-12

Redwood Falls high school basket
ball team closed the regular playing
season without a defeat in the dis
trict by winning from Springfield
Friday, by % -12 victory. Spring
field had previously forced Redwood
to the limit to win here in an early
season game but appeared helpless
before the attack offered by Coach
Stockton's boys Friday. In a pre-
liminary game Springfield second
team won over Redwood junior high
2O-15 with the seconds always in the
lead.
Springfield made flourish early
in the game when Werring dribbled
through to score for his team but
thereafter the close checking of Finn
and Arnett with plenty of help from
the forwards kept their opponents
smothered and Springfield was able
to score but twice more from the field,
both goals coming in the second half
as the result of individual by Swartz-
rock. The score at the end of the
second period stood at 1874 with all
members of the Redwood Falls start
ing lineup contributing to the point
column.
The presence of reserves in the
Redwood lineup during the second
half seemingly did not slow down the
offense and Stockton's boys coasted
through to the end with their lead
safe at all times. The scoring was
fairly evenly divided with Bravinder
topping the list with eight points
while Laidlaw rang up five, Cuff four,
