Team Coming On

Coach Stub" Olson started bas-
ketball practice Monday evening
with 40 students turning out for
work.
Three letter men, Pat Dubois,
Butch" Iwinski, and Fay Domke,
Will form the nucleus around which
the 1928 High School basketball
team will be built.
The basketball officials at the
close of the last season set out to
amend the rules with the thought
in mind of speeding up the game
and prevent the team ont in front
deliberately stalling near the close
OF the game. The new rules will
cause bit of confusion for a time
but will make the game decidedly
more interesting for the spectators.
Coach Olson starting coaching in
Sauk Centre with a small squad.
Five men were graduated last June:
Sieben, Benson, Domke, Kinsella
and Hamilton. This group won L.
out of 16 games, losing three of
them to Glenwood, finishing second
III the district race.
The Junior, High School squad,
coached by Ben Tom, started prac-
tice 10 days ago. This group are
fast learning the fundamentals of
the game. The schedule this year
contemplates the playing of four
second team games, two each with
Osakis and Melrose. There may be
other Junior High School games.
Sank Centres prospects this
year are only fair unless some of
the newer material show unexpect-
ed speed and polish.
The other teams of the district
line up about as follows: With
Homer Lemm as the spark plug
Melrose will give any of the other
teams in the district a hot argu-
ment. The neighbors on the east
are expected to click this year. Os-
axis has veteran team, stronger
than last year. Alexandria is al
ways a tough proposition until it
comes to tournament time. Glen
wood lost their two outstanding
stars OF last year by graduation:
Hanson and Hammond. This
group is always well coached and
they are plenty scrappy. Long
Prairie is always snappy, Parkers
Prairie kept last years team. They
will be fast.
When Coach Olson called the
first practice Monday evening prac-
tically all of the High School foot
ball squad reported.
Some of those considered to have
a good chance of making the local
basketball team are Korf, sub on
last years team; Arvig, sophomore,
who developed fast as end on the
football team; Johnson, Senior, new
man from Grey Eagle; Meztger,
new Senior from st. Paul.
The schedule calls for playing
the first five games of the season
on the home floor. After a limited
practice the Main Streeters" will
open the season with the fiashy
Swanville team Dec. 9. There are
Is regular games on the schedule
