overtime game to the rangers by a ID
to Is score. The game was take your
turn affair with Eveleth dominating
the first and third quarters and the
deciding overtime period. In the Sec
ond and fourth quarters the game was
all Ely with Eveleth being held score
less in the first of the two periods and
to but single free throw in the Sec
ond The game was the first win for
the Eveleth team. in eight starts and
at that was not an earned one. Ely
was decidedly off form during most OF
the game while Eveleth displayed the
best brand of ball they have shown
this season.
Eveleth took an early lead and leao
at the end of the first stanza by a 7
to 2 count. The locals held Eveleth
scoreless in the second canto and took
an to z lead at half time Eveletil
spurted in the third period to outscorc
Ely Z to 2 and were leading IA to 10
as the last quarter opened. The locals
rallied again in the final period to
ring the count to Is all at the end OF
the regular playing time. A field goal
and free throw by Pavich, star Eveletb
forward, put the game on ice in the
overtime period.

serves won hard fought IL to IL vic
tory from the Eveleth High second

"Boner" Costs Swimmers Victory.
The High School boys swimming tea
The High School boys swimming
team went to Gilbert Saturday and
were nosed out of victory by 1914 to
35la count. If not for "boner" made
by Nykanen in the 220 yard swim, Ely
would have won the meet by a 38 TO
81 score. Nykanen was swimming In
second place in the race and stopped
at the end of lengths, thinking he
had completed the required II lengths.
Before he realized his mistake he had
lost too much distance to regain his
second place and came in tied for
third. This has been a weakness Of
Nykanen all season and despite sew
eral instructions to listen to the count
at the end of each length he failed to
do so Saturday and cost his mates a
victory.
The results of the meet follow: 160

Girls Bow to Mountain Iron.
Saturday again proved an off day
for Ely when the girls swimming team
went down to Al to "a defeat in their
first home meet, Mountain Iron Sc
curing the victory. The events were
most of them exceedingly close as the
score indicates and had Ely swan a
trifle faster in couple of events they
would have secured a victory Mil
dred Mclaughlin led her event by
over quarter of the tank and Winni-
fred Mccarthy romped off with the

Tonight the High School basketball
teams will engage the Biwabik reg
ulars and reserves here in a double
header and then journey to Two Har-
bors tomorrow for non-conference
game. The Biwabik game should be
a thriller as Biwabik has an except
ally strong team this year. Elys team
may be weakened somewhat by the loss
OF Capt. Bob Nicholas who is ineligible
for further competition, but Coach
Buckley has host of reserve material
to choose from.
Tomorrow the girls and boys SWIM
ming teams will engage in the first
double meet at home, the girls having
return meet with Biwabik and the
boys meeting the strong Virginia quint.
Both of the visiting teams are ex-
ceptionally strong and fans will no
doubt be treated to two very good
meets with any of the four teams pos
sible winners. Notably among the
Queen City mermen who will perform
here will be Charles Ketola who has
threatened several worlds records.
Nicholas Ranges Greatest Athlete.
Capt Bob Nicholas, who last Sat
urday at Eveleth closed his high school
athletic career, may well be proud Of
one of the greatest careers any high
school athlete in this state has yet at
tanned. A four year letterman in three
sports is Bob's achievement which is
the most any athlete can possibly at
tain but which very few do.
In football Bob has been the pivot
man of the Ely backfield for four
seasons, his brilliant running and pass
ing having been the dominating factor
in many Ely victory. Bob could run,
pass and kick with the same swiftneSs
and brilliancy and last year was by far
the football "standout" of the range,
