The District Standings

With the two sub-district meets
only fortnight away the drawings
will be held soon and they will de-
termine the teams which shall meet.
But in the meantime Long Prairie
continues to top the district stand
ings with 10 victories in IL contests
with three still left to play, two
of these being scheduled this week.
Glenwood has rolled up 8 VIC
tories and Bertha ranks third with
Z wins. Six teams still possess
mathematical chanes to capture
the leadership with Long Prairie,
Glenwood, Bertha and Swanville
having the best opportunity to bag
the honors. Long Prairie can win
undisputed leadership by winning
all of it's en-aining games. Glen
woods chances depend upon their
trimming Sank Centre and Alex
while Long Prairie is being licked
once. Bertha can win if Swanville
knocks off Long Prairie, if Alex
subjugates Glenwood and if Mel
rose batters up Swanville provid-
ing Of course, they can take the
measure of Battle Lake and Deer
Creek. Of this quartette of pace
makers only one cannot possibly
grab the lead undisputed unless
Bertha is upset which is highly inn
probable; Swanville can tie Bertha
for first place if they subdue Mel
rose, Long Prairie and Upsala and
Alexandria still must be reckoned
with automatically but both
quints are virtually eliminated from
the running.
In the manufacture of points
Long Prairie shows the way with
the enormous total of 258 with
Glenwood's mark of 214 being next
high. Osakis which has succeeded
in garnering 211 pointers is the
only other team to crack the two
century mark. In addition to this
trio of high powered scoring COM
binations, there are other fives
who have eclipsed the 100 mark
with still three others threatening
to pass the deadline soon as Mel
rose, Deer Creek and Upsala are
within reach of this coveted total
Deer Creek can achieve this feat
by scoring 3 or more points Fri
day; Melrose is cinch to follow
suit if they have not reached it
against Swanville Tuesday.
On defense Upsala has permitted
only 70 TALES contrast this with
the 223 that have been scored on
Osakis. Two other quints have al
lowed over 200 points, Sank Cen
tire having been touched up for 214
counters or less than the 220 that
Parkers Prairie has allotted it's
antagonists. Eleven other aggre-
cations have allowed over 200
scores, Swanville will make it IL
