DISTRICT GAMES
MARcH7,8,s,10|
Ely Plays Mountain Iron in the
First Round Wednesday,
March 7th.

The 9th District basket ball tourna-
ment takes place at Virginia next week
with the dates of play being Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, March
7, 8, 9, and 10. Drawings for the tour
ney give Mountain Iron as Elys OPP
ponent in the first round of play We'd
nesday evening at p. M. A win for
the Ely team will put them into the
semi final round of play Friday even
ing.
The entire schedule of play for the
tournament is as follows:
Wednesday, 7:O0-Eveleth VS.. Inter-
national Fails; s8:O0--Aurora VS.. Tower;
9:00-Ely VS.. Mountain Iron.
Thursday. S:00-Biwabik VS.. winner
of the Eveleth- International Falls
game; Gilbert vs. Virginia.
Friday, 8;OO-Winner of Ely-Moum-
tain Iron game VS.. winner of Aurora
Tower game; 9:O0-Winner of Gilbert
Virginia game VS. winner of Biwabik-
Falls-Eveleth game.
Saturday, 600 Finals between VIM
ners of Friday night games; 8:00-losers
of Friday games play for consolation
award.
The Ely team has a fine chance to
come through to the finals of the dis
trict game and possibly win the champi-
onship. In order to accomplish this
the locals will have to play their best
brand of ball throughout the tourna-
ment. The locals at times this season
have not played the best bali that is in
them, seemingly to play poor game
against weak opponents. They should
not be too confident of taking Noun
tain Iron in the first round of the
tourney even though they recently gave
the Mesabi range team a thorough
drubbing. We understand that in the
game last week the Mountain Iron
quint was without the services of their
star center, who was out of the lineup
because of a bad knee. The injured
player is expected to be ready for the
Ely game at the tournament.
Gilbert is the pre-tourney favorite to
come through all opposition in the
tournament due to their having the
best record of the teams during the
seasons schedule just completed Ely
is rated next to Gilbert. Biwabik,
Aurora and Virginia have fine chance
of upSetting the dope and coming
through with the district title. The
competition all through the season has
been close between the above teams and
all of them will have to be reckoned
with before any championship honors
are tucked away.
A large band of 'rooters will make the
trip to Virginia from this city to lend
support to the local qtfirit. $50 -

Here at least the two races meet in

for her mistress's children but not for
her own.
After the reconstruction period the
white South took upon itself to edu-

showing the black man as sullen, un-

What the railroads ean to the
American people was well expressed
in a recent statement by A. J.. Coun-

ewn railroad securities themselves or
o1n them indirectly through insur-

The railroads give employment to
about 100000 people whose jobs are
imperiled when the lines operate at
