Melrose Lions Tame Sank
Centre Cats Last Night
Visitors Score Points in 31s Min
utes of Play and Putt Game
On Ice

Last evening the Sank Centre
Black Cats and the Lions basket
ball teams met on the Junior High
School floor to play the return
game with this city.
A few week ago the Cats defeat
ed the Lions at Recreation Hall,
Melrose, by q close score. The
Lions were out to even up last
night and they did it in the last 3
minutes and "a seconds of play,
scoring seven points with the score
Is all, the visitors asked for time
out and the conference brought re-
suits quick and fast. AS soon as
time was called three field goals
were scored in rapid succession;
then came a free throw. With a
safe lead nice job Of stalling kept
the ball away from Sank Centre.
Man for man probably the Liors
carry as much height as any team
playing at Sank Centre this sen
son. Incidentally they play hard,
fast and clean basketball, too.
The game started with what look
ed like a rout for Sank Centre,
the first quarter ending 8 to 1 in
favor Of the visitors. The locals
got to going in The. second period;
they held the visitors to a single
basket picking up eight points
themselves, the half ending 8 to II
in favor of the visitors.
In the third quarter the Cats
picked up three baskets and held
the visitor to one. The third quart
err ended with the locals in the
lead IL to 10. Soon after the final
quarter opened the visitors scored
a field goal tying the score in q
knot.
Sank Centre had apparently shot
their bolt as they could not con-
meet successfully again. The final
score was % to Is.
The outstanding player on either
team last evening was Franklin
Cliff, Of the Cats. He spoiled many
plays for the visitors and shot two
pretty baskets.
It was a thrilling game to watch
but hard game to lose. AS the
two teams worked last evening the
best team won. There are no alibis.

More Cars In State
and They Go Farther
Average Minnesota Vehicle Covered
525 More Miles In 1880 Than
in 1929

The average car owner in Mime
sofa travelled 525 miles more in 1880
than he did in 1929, according to
estimates made by the Minnesota
Highway department. The figure
is obtained by comparing reports on
automobile registration and gaso-
line shipments made by the Secre-
tary Of State and the State Oil In
spector.
The number Of motor vehicles
registered increased from 727, 082 to
744271, an increase Of % per cent.
Gasoline consunptio increased
from 313,044,077 gallons to 345, 312,-
300 gallons, an increase Of 1913 per
cent. The gasoline gallonage figure
is obtained by taking the net
amount Of gasoline taxed less the
amount to which refunds were al
lowed, due to use in other than
motor vehicles.
The amount of gasoline used per
vehicle therefore increased from
429 in 1929 to 464 in 1880. Assum-
ing that the average motorist gets
Is miles to the gallon, the mileage
covered by the average car was
6,435 in 1929 and $3.50 in 1880. The
average miles travelled per car in
1921 Is estimated at $685..
The total number of passenger
cars increased from $40, 703 in 1929
to 624,651 in 1880, an increase Of
4,246. The number of trucks in
creased from 80 696 to 10s,O63, an
increase Of 8,267. In other words,
the increase in the number Of
trucks was twice as great as the
increase in passenger cars.
The number Of trailers registered
increased from 4783 to 9,389. The
increase is credited to the new law
making definite provision for reg
istration Of trailers. Only light
two wheel trailers used with pass
enger cars are now exempt.
The number Of class "C' buses
decreased from 361 to 29S and the
number of "Y" trucks decreased
from 423 to 1893. Buses used with
in one city, or within contiguous
cities now use "B" tags and pay
the same tax as private passenger
cars, and only highway buses pay
the 10 per cent tax. Only common
carrier trucks running on regular
schedules take the "Y" classifica-
ton and pay the 10 per cent tax,
and there has been a steady de-
crease in the number registered in
this class since 1925, when 1887
carried "Y" licenses.

The stamina that made Ferrara a
