him, John Fox hailed the first car

be Sheriff Andrew Chritianson and
Deputy George Rankin of Minneota.

had not ridden many miles before the
young man confessed to housebreak-
ing. The young man was sentenced
to a year and half in the state re-

SPORTING BRIEFS

A Virginia sport writer accredited
Grahek with getting the tip off every
single time during the game last week.
This is something remarkable and that
is seldom done during game that was
as close and hard played as the Vir-
ginia-Ely game was.
Mel Helm, Washington State center
and all-American candidate, this season
has kept his record clear OF never
making a bad pass in varsity competi-
ton.
Wesley Fesler was a one-man team
for Ohio State this season. He started
at fullback in the first game, then went
to his regular post at right end and
wound up doing double duty in the re-
manning games.
Frank Plat, one-legged war veteran,
shoots 80 on the Lincoln golf course of
San Francisco.
Jack Manders of Minnesota is &C
credited as being the hardest hitting
back in the country this season by
United Press Sport writer's.
Minnesota's basket ball quint is hit
ting on all six in their practice games
and should be strong contender for
the Big Ten championship this season.
The United Press picked Frank Car
ideo as the most valuable all-around
football player this fall but we be-
lieve that Wesley Fesler earned this
honor.
The Green Bay Packers, pro grid
champions of 1929 and 1890 are ac-
credited with creating circus day
every time they play at home.
Win Brockmeyer will represent Min
neSota in the annual EaSt-WeSt foot
ball game to be played on December
9th.
George Sisler, famous big league first
baseman, has made his bow to the big
league base ball teams after one of the
most colorful careers any player has
ever had. He will be with Rochester
of the International league next spring.
The sport bug picked Justo Suarez
and Billy Petrolle (of Duluth as the
most colorful fighters in the world the
past year. Petrolle's victory over Nc
Larin, the most popular fighter in the
world, was accredited as the most sem
sational upset of the year. In this
fight Petrolle was on the short end of
z to betting odds:

Triple Header.

The high school and Junior College
teams will engage in their first triple
header tonight when they play hosts
to the Aurora high and Duluth Junior
College uuints. This will be the final
games for 1880 and is the first home
game for the Jaysee quint.
So far the Jaysees have dropped two
games. one to Duluth, II to 10, and
to Hibbing by a 20 to 18 count. The
high school "B" team has defeated
Tower by a one point margin and
dropped a 20 to 19 game at Virginia
last week that went two overtime
periods before being decided. The high
school quint has won both OF their
games so far piling up A points TO
their opponents 20.
In dropping their first game at
Duluth the j. c. five played rather
loose and ragged ball and should have
given a better account of themselves.
In the Hibbing game, Beck replaced
J. Gerzin at center and the team
worked much more smoothly and
played a much better brand of ball
but the breaks all went to Hlbblne
that night and a lucky one handed
shot by Retica, star Hibbing forward,
gave them the game. The team mas
decidedly improved in the past two
weeks and are determined to shake OF
the last minute jinx that ruined Ely
last season and has lost two games Tor
them this year This will be the first
athletic engagement ever held between
Ely and the Duluth Teachers College.
Coach Murn has been drilling the
"B" quint hard this week and is IRON
ing out the flaws that kept them from
winning the tilt at Virginia last week
and promises to have the boys in the
pink of condition when they meet
Aurora tonight.
On paper, Aurora appears to have an
exceptionally strong team as they
downed Virginia by a 81 to II count
while Ely only defeated Virginia by
S points. However, the Ely game was
played at Virginia while the Aurora
quint played on their home floor. Vir-
GINA also was accredited as being
much better team the week they played
Ely than when they engaged Aurora
The game is bound to be a thriller
from start to finish and we are looking
for three Ely victories to close the 1880
part of the basket ball schedule.

SPORTS
EIy Routs Virginia.
BY Charles Gallagher

Staging whirlwind offense in the
final canto, the local high school flve
came from behind to register six
points while they held their opponents
scoreless and threby earned 10 to IA
victory over their "hot blooded" Queen
City rivals. Ely by virtue of its win
kept its record clear and If able to
turn back Aurora tonight will have the
1880 part of its schedule over with
clear record.
Virginia displayed much improved
form over their first game and nearly
pulled the unexpected when they led
Ely from the opening of the game
until the start of the fourth quarter.
Virginia jumped into to lead
during the first quarter but Ely cut it
down to IL to 9 at half time. Ely cut
down another point in the third quar-
ter and Virginia held a IA to l3 adj
vantage at the start Of the final period
but Ely dropped in two pot shots
shortly after the period started and
then TomSich put the game on ice
when he pierced the Virginia defense
and dribbled in for an easy shot to
end the scoring.
The game was fast from start to
finish but was also very rough as the
rivalry between the two teams is SO
great that fast game such as the
teams played could not help but be
somewhat rough. Virginia had four
teen fouls called on them with one OF
their men elected from the game and
two others having three chalked
against them. Ely had ten black marks
against them with TomSich having
three, Nicholas one and the others two
apiece.
Ely held a slight advantage in both
height and weight and used it to a
decided advantage as they wore down
their opponents until they had things
almost their own way in the fourth
quarter and most of the second half.
Nicholas and TomSich carried the
brunt of the Ely attack but every mem
Der of the team gave good account
of himself. Krall turned in some eX-
cellent guarding while the general
work of Grahek under the basket and
securing the tip off was exceptionally
good. Both teams showed decided
weakness at caging gift losses and
either team might have been able to
run up a considerable larger score.

invaluable service. She expressed the

the sick and injured, shared with the
churches the responsibility of better
ing mankind.

portion of Casualty's work is on a
charitable basis, and, not being in the
Community Chest, is in need of support
from outside sources.

Resolution to Ask
Return of Portion
OF ID. c. to Maryland

Representative Albert Hall of
Indiana, q member Of the House
District committee, has an
nounced that in the next ses-
sion Of Congress he intends seri-
ouSly to present for congressional
action proposal that the greater
part Of the National Capital be
ceded back to Maryland.
He has not worked out def
nitely just what he intends to
put into his resolution but has
in mind that the Congress should
designate a limited area in the
heart of the city to be reserved
for Federal occupation, to be sup
ported entirely from the Federal
Treasury, and that the rest of
the District revert back to Mary
land, with the result that prob
ably new congressional district
would be formed.
Representative Hall says that
by such q move the controversy
regarding suffrage for the District
would be settled.
This is not a new idea, but has
been discussed Spasmodically for
many years.
