SPORTS

Duluth Again Proves HoodoO.

For the second time this season and
the third straight time Duluth proved
a hoodoo to the local Junior College
basket ball cagers as they dropped a
30 to % decision to the Duluth PedS.
This was revenge for the Peds for the
80 to % defeat that Ely handed them
here last month.
Ely took an early four point lead
by some of Grahek's clever basket
shooting but Duluth came back to take
the lead and maintain it until Ely
tied it with minute to go only to
have Duluth regain it again. Grahek
had an eagle eye for the basket during
the first quarter and managed to keep
Ely in the game with his pot shots
The quarter ended 10 to 9. Duluth
took lead in the second quarter add
ing nine more points to their score
while Ely Gagged a gift toss and brace
of field goals
Duluth increased their lead in the
third quarter as Ely Gagged but two field
goals while Duluth ran their total UP
to Is. Gouze did some clever work in
the fourth quarter as he Gagged -four
field goals and then one by Grahek
tied up the count at % all with but q
minute to play. Gernander, Duluth
guard, was fouled by Anderson anc
made good gift toss which gave Du-
luth the margin of victory
This was another game free
throws defeated Ely as both teams
made eleven baskets and both team:
committed eight fouls Duluth made
seven gift losses while Ely made si2
out of a like number of chances.
Nicholas and Banovetz, who usually
have good shooting eyes and each cage
few from midfloor in nearly every
game, could not locate the hoop during
the game. Gouze and Grahek carried
the brunt of the Ely attack scoring
eleven points apiece while Cudahy ano
King lead the Duluth attack.
Hibbing Junior College, who noseo
out Ely by a lucky one hand field goa,
in the final seconds of a game down
there this season, will be here to-
morrow night for a return game ano
the locals are bound to revenge the de-

Ely Trounces Tower I6 to 8.

Ely Trounces Tower 16 to 8.
The Ely High School basket ball
team annexed their second victory Of
the season over the Tower High cagers
Friday evening when they defeated the
neighboring quint by Is to 9 count
in the Tower gym. Ely took the lead
at the outset of the game and kept it
throughout. AS in the game played
here Tower was able to score but one
field goal during the entire game and
made the rest of their points via the
free throw route.
The score does not indicate the SUI
periority of the locals over their rivals
as Ely dominated the play throughout
the entire contest and had control of
the ball most of the time. Ely pre-
sented one of the best defenses they
have shown all season on the small
floor and their own gym was of little
or no advantage to the Tower quint.
Grahek and Tomsich, the Milwaukee
Avenue twins, dominated the play but
all members of the team turned in a
good account of themselves. Grahek
was high point man of the game Gag
ing three field goals for a total Of six
points while "Patta" connected with a
brace of field goals and Ely's only gift
toss for points Nicholas and Krall
each Gagged a field goal during the
game. Ely's defense is rapidly be-
coming stronger as both Krall and
Bolinger are playing much better ball
in each contest. The work Of Bolinger
has shown rapid improvement. He
started out as green recruit this fall
| and has fast rounded into shape and
| by the time the tournament comes
around he will have plugged the weak
| spot in Elys defense. Kran also has
shown good improvement as the guard
position was new to him this year and
hard to adapt himself to at first.
With a little improvement In the
basket shooting from Shorty Mich
olas now and the team will be hitting
on all cylinders and will be hard to
beat. Ely went back into tie for the
| district leadership last week as BIZ
wabik was given it's first defeat of the
season by Aurora. Ely goes to Eve
leth in return game tonight and
should the boys avenge the defeat
Eveleth handed them, they will be in
sole possession of first place In the
district conference. The lineup and
summary follows:

Mermaids Lose To Biwabik.

Merma1dS Lose To Bawabtk.
The Ely mermaids went to Biwabik
Saturday and gave good account Of
themselves but were nosed out by a
"a to Al count by the Biwabik girls.
Ely took five out of the eight first
places but Biwabik gained enough
second and third places to cop the
meet by few points. Ely was we'll
fortified in everything except the free
style events in which they were greatly
handicapped in the Biwabik meet.
Sadie Sikola and Mildred Nc Laugh
lin each won two events to tie for high
honors with 10 points apiece. Dorothy
Milkovich gave sterling exhibition of
diving, eliminating her nearest COM
petitor by over twenty points which is
very big margin.
The results of the meet follow:
100 yard relay-Won by Biwabik
with Katherine Riley, Sylvia Himango,

SWIMMING

The Ely boys continued their winning
streak by downing the highly tutored
Eveleth team last Saturday. Eveleth
has the best team this year that they
have ever had and Ely went to the
hill top city as the underdog. With
six swimmers left behind due to in
eligibility and sickness, things did not
look so good for our team. However,
after some clever switching around of
the seven players available, and with
only one entry in some events, Coach
Herseth's team managed to bring home
the bacon. With a full lineup, some
thing the team has not had to date,
our boys should not have much trouble
in taking the state meet this year.
The swimmers who took part in the
meet Saturday and to whom great
credit is due for their splendid per-
Torrance, were as follows: Captain Kit
tia, Elfving, Klun, Russ, Sutherland,
Tuomala and Tuomikosk. EvelethS
lineup was composed of twelve SWIM
mers The summary of the meet was
as follows:
