Best Game of the Season


The Sank Centre High School
football team attempted to cover
considerable territory on the local
gridiron Friday afternoon.
Their opponents were the ex-
perienced and very shifty Holding
ford aggregation which took the
locals into camp last year by a
score of something like "a to o.
The locals were decidedly weak.
ened by the absence Of Halfbacl
Jim Benson because of illness.
The game started promptly at
400 p. M, with Sank Centre kick
ing off to Holdingford. Holdingford
Immediately opened up with pass
which Melted good GAIN A try
at the ends did not bring any re-
suits. Another pass and L. Klasen
was away for 2-yard run and
goal. Had Benson been in his reg
ular position this fleet footed boy
would have been stopped. A few
moments later Sank Centre block
ed a kick on the visitors seven yard
line. They were penalized FIVE
yards for off-side play and did not
have the necessary punch to cross
the visitors goal.
For the balance Of the half the
play much of the time was in
the territory of Holdingford, on
not a few occasions in the very
shadow of their goal posts. The
half ended with the ball in Sank
Centres possession on the visitors
11-yard line, 14th down, nine to go.
With the opening of the second
half Holdingford kicked off to the
locals. The defense of both teams
was working well. Eventually,
however Sank Centre was inside
the visitors 2-yard line. A tumble
at this period gave the visitors the
ball.
Early in the fourth quarter N.
Lang with beautiful interference
made spectacular 40 yard sprint
to score the second touchdown. The
score at this stage Of the game
was IL to o in favor Of the visitors.
On the KICKOFF after this goal
the locals marched up the field with
inspired frenzy. When short way
past mid-field one of the most beau
tifully executed lateral passes often
seen in a high school game was
from c.. Domke to Carpenter to
Harry Hamilton. The latter was
eventually forced out of bounds on
the visitors 15-yard line. On the
next play Carpenter with the best
interference shown by Sank Centre
during the game skirted the right
and placed the ball on the 2-yard
line. On the next play Clifford
Domke made his own hole through
center to score a touchdown.
That ended the scoring for the
day. The final being II to 6 in
favor of Holdingford.
No team appearing on the local
gridiron or whom Sank Centre has
ever played has shown the finished
interference as that of the Holding
ford team.
Sank Centre has marvellous de-
fensive team but their interference
is not all that it should be. Time
and again Friday the locals would
get away for what should have re-

842 Miles Of Trunk Routes
Have Been Reduced to 74O
Saving in Construction More Than
Pays for Additional Right-0f-
Way Needed

Abandoning old roads and build
ing new ones on shorter and more
direct location saves money in con-
struction costs, in addition to the
savings to road users. o. L. Kipp,
construction engineer of the Min
nesota Highway department said
in a paper read before the Aneri-
can Society Of Civil Engineers at
the annual meeting in st. Paul last
week.
During the 1929-193O biennium,
Mr.. Kipp said, TAO miles of trunk
highways were constructed on per-
manent location. These TAO miles
replaced 842 miles of road which
had been used as temporary trunk
routes, effecting a distance reduc-
ton of 102 miles. In this construc.
ton program $1,945, 900 was expend-
ed for right-of-way which might
have been saved if the original and
longer routes had been followed.
But it would have cost $500. 900 to
grade and pave these additional 102
miles. The saving in construction
costs therefore was $1,555, 900
In addition to this saving, the
new construction provided an, Inn
proved alignment, eliminating
sharp turns and steep grades. and
also removing 80 railroad crossings
from the trunk routes, without con-
sidering grade crossings which
were eliminated by bridges.
Roads as laid out originally by
counties, townships and other
agencies, gave little consideration
to directness of route, alignment,
railroad crossings, or other impor-
tant features. It is therefore fire.
quently an easy matter, with prop
err location. to shorten the highway,
eliminate dangerous curves and
sharp turns, avoid railroad grade
crossings, and improve routes thru
cities and villages.

suited in substantial gains to come
in contact with one of their own
team in their way. Occasionally
this would result in loss.
Sank Centre first started football
last year. They are not world beat
ers as yet but they are progressing
splendidly. There is fine spirit
of team play. This year there are
at least three complete teams out
for practice. Coach Olson will
lose number Of this years squad
by graduation but the Herald is
convinced that the Sank Centre
High School team will take its
proper place in the football sun in
another year or two.

County Attorney Farley, Of Red
Lake county, urged a consideration
Of the Wisconsin and North Dako-

present time and under present con-
ditions land had no value and that
some remedy must be found.
Senator r. G. Bell, Of Detroit

vocate of tax reforms, gave an in

the new tax laws; the absolute in
equality Of the present method of
taxation and the Importance of q
careful survey of the whole situa-
ton.
Tangible property bears by far
too great proportion of the load"
he declared. There must be an
adequate study of the conditions,
the compilation of facts and figures
and the presentation Of suggestions
to the legislature by a committee
qualified to do so. / so intimated
to Governor Olson in a recent let
ter and have received a reply stat
ing that such committee would
be appointed. This newly appointed
committee can, I feel sure, be of
valuable assistance to any organi-
cation that is started at this meet
ing"
Considerable discussion at the
close of the meeting revolved
around the form of organization
that should be perfected, its COM
position and its means of operation.
1t was finally decided that a COM
mittee of seven should be appointed
by the chairman, who would desig-
nate the time and place at which
the committee would meet, elect
officers and outline a course Of pro-
cedure. It was also decided that
the auditor, county attorney and
chairman of the county board in
each county should be requested
for information regarding that
county and should assist in organic
ing each individual county along
suchgi lines as the committee of
seven might decide. The name of
the organization and it's future pro-
cedure will also be decided by the
committee.

The 1881 levy is within two one

state levy of $40 mills, the highest
in this states history. The 1881
fevy is 2.38 mills higher than a
