ASKOV

Carl Rannum was in Duluth Mon
day with some produce and also to
take a cream testing examination.
After defaulting two years in sue
cession. the community will again
have an opportunity to come in and
enjoy an old time Shrovetide cele-
bration (Fastelavnsgilde) at the D..
b. S. hall Monday evening, Feb. II.
At present the committee plans to
present the entire program Monday
afternoon in dress rehearsal at
which time the school children from
the grades will be invited as a guest
audience. The old committee con-
siSting of ]. G. Jensen, Mrs. H. p.
Rasmussen and Mrs. H. r. Buck, who
have defaulted for two years, resigned
and appointed new committee. The
committee consisting of Harald john
sen, chairman, Mrs. Arnold Sorensen
and Mrs. Adolf Jensen, met Saturday
as we'll as naming subcommittee.
The subcommittee are: entertain
ment-Mrs. Jens Thomson, n. S. Pc
teusen, X. L. Lund and Chris. Fred
eriksen; eats-Mrs. X. l.. Lund, chair
man; decorations-Mrs Svend Peter
sen, chairman; music-Martin Soren-
sen, chairman. Most of the commit
tee members met Sunday evening
at the Adolf Jensen home and
decided among other things to pre-
sent as entertainment a scene
from e Bindstouw" in the DAN
ish language. The committee had a
grand and glorious time preparing
and planning the program, and if the
audience can get to laughing only
half as much as the committee did
then they will more than get their
moneys worth. There is an adver-
tiSement elsewhere in this issue Civ
ing a few particulars, from which
1t will be noted that the admission
Is only 10 cents, and that is all it
needs to cost you. The price is set at
this low figure so as to enable every
one to come in and enjoy the evening.
But then there comes the cost of
lunch-the big argument by the COM
mittee members was: shall that be
free, or shall a charge of cents or
10 cents be made; and it ended like
a congressional filibuster and dead
lock. The story in a nut shell is
this: the committee merely wants to
break even, and if big crowd comes
for the program at 10 cents then
they can serve the lunch for cents
or possibly two for Is cents and come
out even, besides throwing the dance
in free. But if the crowd is small it
might be necessary to charge straight
ten cents for the lunch, but in no
case will it be more than ten cents.
So the most you can possibly spend
Will be ten cents to get in and ten
cents for lunch. and Judging from the
way the committee laughed (at them
selves) you can be sure that you will
have an enjoyable evening. Even at
this low price you do not have to
bring any cake or sandwiches. Oh,
no. the committee is going to have
"Fastelavns Boiler" for you, and they
are going to be good, but you must
eat a good supper before coming in,
otherwise there will not be enough
Boiler" to go around. Remember
the date Monday, Feb. IL, at the D.
B. S. hall at o'clock.

An Explanation.

this column for inaccuracies made
The writer of this column wishes to
take this opportunity to Shcw the
basketball readers how these mistakes
may occur. Every week Superintend-
ent Neutzman of Hinckley. the secre-
tary of this district, sends out a re-
port on games played during that
week. He gathers this from the re-
ports sent in by the different basket
ball coaches. Sometimes the coaches
overlook or neglect to send, in the re-
ports. This mixes everything up. If
the coaches would try to send in the
reports Immediately from now on it
would help Superintendent Neutzman
and the writer of this column very
much.
With makeshift lineup, Nyrud and
Cunningham being sick and Stein in
eligible, Willow River bowed i'm de-
feat to McGrath % to 90 The same
McGrath team which up to this week
had had percentage of three zeros
also scored a win over FinlaysOn
bringing McGrath's percentage up to
an even 500. Moose Lake beat Bruno
in a low score game January 10, the
final score being 13 to 9. January 26
Moose Lake came out in front of Bar
mum 20 to g. The Rush City quintet
continued on its winning ways by
drubbing Pine City 81 to II.
FinlaysOn edged out Bruno again
Jan. 26, by a score of II to s. Brook
Park jumped up into third place in
the standings by defeating Finlayson
35 to 9 and McGrath 20 to 8. Hinck-
ley beat Finlayson II to 9. Moose
Lake sprang an upset by nosing out
Rush City 16 to Is. 1t was the second
loss of the year for the last years
tournament winner.
With the tournament drawing near
the task of picking the winner comes
before us once again. From present
indications the favorites would APP
pear to be Rush City, Willow River,
and Sandstone. Willow River beat
Rush City at the start of the season,
but since then Tom Stein, their bril-
liant guard, has been declared in
eligible. The Brook Park team will
bear watching as it is an aggregation
of rangy boys who have played to-
gether for three years.
ASkOv-BrunO Games.
Before a capacity crowd Askov re-
ceived an even break in the double
header with Bruno Feb. 2, on the
home floor. Not seat was vacant,
so well had the do your bit" cam
paign succeeded. In return for this
the fans were treated to two fast
games and novelty program of sing
ing and other entertainment. The
Askov high school cheering section
took new life and rocked the hall with
old and new yells. All in all it was
an affair worth walking many miles
to see.
The Bruno girls beat the local girls
by score of 33 to "a. This makes it
even as the Askov girls previously
had edged out the invading team.
The Askov boys had control of the
ball for most of the first three quar-
tiers. They intercepted many of the
Bruno passes and converted them into
baskets. In the last quarter Bruno
began clicking but fell short of the
commanding Askov lead. The first
half was characterized by the care
less shooting Of the Askov cagers. Of
the "A shots attempted only IA were
made. The boys tried to shoot when
they we're covered and as result
their shots were batted down by
Bruno. The final score was 33 to 26.

'''BIG THREE" OF
 TRACK WORLD IN
 1900 METER RUN
BOnthrOn, Cunning h a m and Venzke at New
 York Saturday

New York, Feb 19.-(UP)- 1500-meter run, feature event of the National A. A. U. champion ships at Madison Square Garden Saturday night will be a three-man struggle between Bill Bonthron, Glenn Cunningham and Gene Venske, instead of a two-man duel between Bonthrop and Cunning ham as in last weeks thrilling Baxter mile.
 The difference of 120 yards, be- tween a mile and 1900 meters, will make Venzke of Pennsylvania a dangerous rival for Cunningham, the Kansas flyer, and Bonthron of Princeton, who flung himslef into the tape three inches asead of Cunningham Saturday night.
 Not So Bad
 Few gave Venzke any chance in the Baxter mile at the aGrden, but he finished only six feet be- hind Cunningham. He let others set the pace and ran stronger than expected. Venzke holds the in- door records for both the mile. 4:10 and the 1500 distance, 3:53.4. but he is stronger now over the shorter route. His only victory over Cunningham last year was over the 15O0 trail.
 Meanwhile, many track fans who have lost faith in Venzke are di- vided into two camps on the ques- ton of Monthron's ability to nose out Cunningham again, particularly at 1500 meters. Strategy is expect ed to play a major role in this race.

fspecial to the Democrat)

Terryville, Feb 19.-The Terry vile high school basketball team will play its final game of the sea- son, Wednesday evening when they journey to Thomaston to meet the Thomaston high school five in a game that promises to be full or thrills and plenty of action. Terryville high after their sensa- tional 33-32 victory over the pow erful Litchfield high school five, last Friday night is favored to win over the Clock Town five, which have hung up a good record this season, Terryville high is one of the few high schools that can boast of 8 victory over the Litchfieid team this season on their home floor.
 Coach Jablonowski will start his strongest lineup against the Clock Towners with the hopes of adding another victory which would give the locals second place in the league standing, as Watertown high has won the league cham pionship. A defeat for the locals will mean a three-cornered tie for second place, something which the
 locals do not desire to haev hap- pen.
 The contest in Thomaston We'd nesday night will bring to a close one of the greatest races ever waged in the Western Connecticut Interscholastic league.

 Through with Sox
 Eaber planned to return to Chi- cago to-day to get his release III order to dicker with other cluDs. He has definitely made up his mind that he'll never play with the White Sox again, although Vice President Harry Grabiner said. s'We'u take Faber back if he wants to come."
 The. last game Faber pitched Tn. dicates that all the cunning ana power hasn't left the veteran spit- baller's arm. He pitched the sec- ond game of the city series last fail. held the Cubs to five hits and blanked them, 20.
 Faber pitched 86 innings last season, mostly in relief roles, win- ming three games and losing Tour. He ranked fifteenth in earned runs with an average of 3.45. During his 20 year career he won zoz games and lost 21O.
 Profitable
 The White Sox bought Faber for $3,500 from the Des Moines Western league club in 1914, and he became a regular in his first season. In his second year he won 24 games and in 1917, he was a world series hero, pitching three victories over the Giants to help the White Sox win the world championship.
 Faber is the lats survivor of the ill-fated 1919 White Sox club, nine of whom were banished from base- ball in the "Black Sox" scandal the following year. Faber did not pitch in the 1919 series because of 8 sore arm.
