SQUAD; Willmar Saturday

Redwood Falls high school basket
hall team downed Gaylord here Fri
day night 1863 for the second victory
of the season over this team. Stock
toms bows elected to play cautious
offensive game and consequently the
scoring was held down. Gaylords at
tempts at scoring were conhned al
most entirely to long shots OF which
but four of 81 attempts were success
full.
The first half ended So in favor
of Redwood Falls after Laidlaw hao
connected for his basket with toss
from the corner just before the hall
way gun. Neither team showed de-
cided offense during the period with
the visiting teams lone goal coming
from a rebound and Johnson sinking
another for Redwood on an out-of-
bounds play.
Cuff appeared in place of johnson
in the second half while Corbett re-
placed Tom Finn and these two fresh
men came through with enough to
aid their mates in maintaining their
lead. With Redwood leading 1875 at
the start of the final quarter Gaylord
rained the ball at the basket from all
distances and angles before connect
ing with a pair that put them within
striking distance.
With the return of Tom Finn to
the lineup semi-stall game was in
stituted and the Red and White broke
through to run the score to 16 when
.Gaylord's five-man zone defense was
drawn out. Laidlaw and Bravinder
each rang up pair of field goals and
Cuff scored one of each variety to
carry the scoring burden for Redwood
Falls while Lemberg, stocky visiting
guard, scored five points for his team.

FATS and LEANS TO
MATCH.WlTS AGAIN
Insults Flung at Each Other
Will Bring Rivals Together
Next Wednesday Night

The age old argument is again
brought up. Who, just who or which
are the best, the most graceful athle-
tes? The Leapin' Leans or the Tod
lin Fats. Anyway they are match
ed for one continual round of pleas
urable basketball for next Wednes-
day night, February 26. Every year or
two [ it takes 'em year or two to
recover from the i'll effects of exer-
tion) these two clans get together to
discuss the relative athletic merits
of each other. Following each dis
cussion there is always chance for
an argument. Some of the Fats say
they are the best basketballers, while
many of the Leans maintain that they
are by far the largest point getters.
Anyway, one day this week these
two factions gathered at their usual
meeting place. A challenge was is
sued. A challenge was accepted. So
there you have it. with apologies
to Roundy; write your own ticket.)
The tall, lanky boys will be led in
to the fray by our own John Murset,
while these Of the more rotund ana
tony have chosen, and rightfully So,
Chas. Showalter as their board of
strategy. What a battle it will be!
Besides the feature event there will
be preliminary game between Billy
Films Flyweights and Neal Serk-
lands Midgets. Then there will be
the Polo game, with the two teams
captained by Paul Weis and Carlyle
Jaehning. Another feature will the
Tug of War between the first and Sec
ond wards of the city.
Oh, it's bound to be good.

CRISLERIC0ACHED
..BYIJ. H. WlCHMAN
New Minnesota 'U" Coach In
structed in High School by
Supt. Wichman

Relative to the appointment Of
Herbert o. Crisler as head football
coach and Elton E. Wieman as assist
ant at the University of Minnesota,
Superintendent ]. H. Wichman of the
Redwood Falls schools, gives bit OF
history concerning the abilities, both
athletically and scholastically OF
Fritz" Crisler.
Way back in 1914 and 1915, the
first year in several years that the
Mendoza, Illinois, High School again
went into football, Mr.. Wichman was
then science teacher and coach at
this school. This same Crisler boy
was junior in the Mendoza high
school at that time and was instruct
ed in several classes by MIR. Wichman,
besides playing football, basketball
and baseball for him.
"He stands out in my mind" said
the Redwood Falls superintendent, in
recalling his experience with Crisler
cas- a high school leader; not neces-
sarily socially, but from the stand
point of dependability and character
He was not the aggressive type, but
was quiet and unassuming, and most
of all he was not "grand stand"
player. A good athlete in school
that was weak athletically, Crisler
would put himself into any sport or
school work and give his best without
expecting award"
Crisler played quarterback and end
on the Mendoza high school football
team and guard on the basketball
team under Mr.. Wichman. He was a
clean sportsman, never quibbled on
decisions, and always lived up to
training regulations.
He comes to the University of Min
nesota, not only as great coach but
also as a great student. At the Uni
versity of Chicago he was of Phi Beta
Kappa calibre in his studies while an
undergraduate, which means that he
took part in three major sports and
made an "a" average in his studies.
Mr.. Wichman sings the highest
praise for the new University coach,
stating that he was satisfying to
have around and that he made good
because he tried hard to make some
thing of himself.
