ALL-STARS DEFEAT
ARLINGTON, 1919

Holding their opponents to five
points in the second half after close
first period, the Provident Life ALL
Stars swamped an Arlington, Mime
sofa, quintet 1913 Sunday afternoon
on the latter's floor.
The All-Stars, made up of former
college players, showed uncanny eyes
for the basket and played good floor
game although they were playing to-
gether for the first time.
They led at the half by only a
three point margin, 17-14. but at the
start of the second half they dropped
in three baskets in short order and
after that it was only matter of how
many points they could pile up. Chet
Raasch and Otto Rortvedt, six foot six
inch center, led the scoring with 10
points each closely followed by Art
Egge who sunk four baskets for eight
points. Dick Lundquist led Arlington
with eight scores.
Sunday the AH-Stars will play at
Franklin and then will be set to give
battle to the Harlem Globe Trotters,
in what should prove a first class
contest, December 26 in the armory.
Don Peterson of Redwood Falls, all
state forward at Gustavus Adolphus
college and Bart Corcoran of Green
Isle, completed the starting lineup
and did their share of the point
gathering. Others who saw action
were Speed Corbett, Snob Arnett,
Beryl Bethke and Henry Davis.

CARDS DROP THRILL
PACKED GAME 1918
Shooting Has Improved But
Pass Game Continues Errat-
ic; Tenney High Scorer

The Redwood Falls High school
cage team will journey to Marshall
Thursday night to play the Tigers in
what is expected to be a traditional
nip and tuck battle. Neither aggre-
cation has met with much success so
far, the Tigers having been soundly
trounced by Cottonwood, so the
chances should be fairly even.
The Cardinals showed much i'm
provement over their opening game
against Hutchinson, when they held
Springfield to a one point decision
and with two games under their belts
should be still further advanced for
the Marshall tilt. The probable line
up will find Raph Tenney and Cubby
Thomson at the forwards, Steve Ing
lis at center, and Hoddy Melges and
Bill Finn at the guards, with Russ
Lauterbach expected to see consider
able service.
In heated battle which was any,
body's ball game until the final whistle
the Springfield High cage team eked
out 1918 decision Friday night
over Redwood Falls for the Cardin-
ais second defeat.
The contest had the fans, who
packed the Lincoln school auditorium,
sitting on the edge of the seats
throughout the second half as one
team and then the other forged into
the lead.
The Cardinals displayed consider
able improvement over a week ago,
when they lost to Hutchinson, in hit
ting the basket, connecting for five
field goals and nine gift shots, but
their passing game was little rag
ged especially in the closing minutes
when they had control of the ball
most of the time and when success
full shot would have meant the game.
The half ended in one point, 81
advantage for the visitors but with
Steve Inglis dropping in bucket and
two free shots and Cubby Thomson
and Ralph Tenney one free throw
each the Cardinals went into IL to
9 lead midway in the third quarter,
the first time they were ever in the
lead of their opponents this young
season. However, their lead was
short lived as Larson, Springfeld's
center, connected for three consecu-
tive field goals, two of them from
behind the free throw circle.
The fourth quarter, into which
were packed all the thrills Of the
game, began with Springfield in
1912 lead. Larson increased it to 18
with another long shot but Tenney
and Paffrath each slipped in basket
and Inglis free throw to bring the

CUNMEN GET $67
FROM 2 CRAINMEN
Elevators at SeafOrth and Wa.
bassO Entered by ''Stickup"
Men Last Week

In what Sheriff L. j. Kise asserted
appears to be new racket, two
bandits held up the Henry Goblirsch
Elevator company at Wabasso and
the Seaforth Farmers Elevator be-
tween $50 and 6:15 p. m. December
IL and escaped with a total loot of
SGT.
Mr.. Goblirsch was in his Office
when the two men entered about $50
both displaying pistols, and COM
manded him to "stick 'em up" The
gunmen relieved Mr.. Goblirsch of
his wallet containing SAT. They ran
sacked the safe but found no money.
Forcing Mr.. Goblirsch to lie on the
floor next to gasoline engine, the
bandits broke the telephone wires and
left. Mr.. Goblirsch lay on the floor
for about Is minutes after the gun
men had departed, then got up, con-
nected the broken telephone wires
and called Sheriff Kise.
Shortly after 6:15 when the
Sheriff and his deputy, Harry Beatty,
were about to leave for Wabasso a
call was received from Charles Hend-
rickson, manager Of the Seaforth
Farmers Elevator.
Hendrickson reported that two
men had entered the elevators offices
about 6:15 asked the price of corn
and then one of them pulled out a
pistol commanding him to turn
around and face the wall. AS with
Mr.. Goblirsch, the robbers took Hend-
rickson's wallet containing $40 and
told him to open the safe but the
time lock had been set there. Taking
the manager outside they forced him
to stand behind large gas tank and
fled on foot.
According to their victims one of
the gunmen wore overalls and rain
coat while the other was well dressed
and wore a black overcoat. Both had
hats.
Mr.. Goblirsch stated that he heard
an automobile start up after the two
thieves left his office. Later on the
road midway between Wabasso and
Seaforth, acheck book and political
campaign cards belonging to Mr..
Goblirsch were found.
Two men held up the Farmers Ex-
change elevator at Nicollet Decem-
ber and obtained $50 and theory
was advanced that these men might
have been the same two who COM
mitted the forays Wednesday. The
Milroy Farmers Elevator has been
entered twice within a month but
whether these "jobs" were done by
the same two men, is not known.

score to 1917 with three minutes to
play. Larson was fouled and made
good his one attempt to boost the
visitors advantage one point. Both
teams became excited and threw the
ball away numerous times during the
last three minutes and although the
Cardinals tried their best to connect
with the hoop the breaks were
against them. Two shots popped out
after they appeared to be going in
while two baskets were made after
the referee had blown his whistle.
AS the final whistle blew with the
count 1917 Tenney was fouled for
pushing. If Tenney had been given
two shots and had made them both
the game would have been sent into
overtime but the foul committed was
not of the two shot variety. With
the fans crowding onto the floor Ten
ney sunk his free throw ending the
game with the Cardinals tagging one
point behind.
Scoring honors for the Cardinals
went to Ralph Tenney, who appears
to have reached his form. Tenney
connected for three field goals and
two gift shots for total of eight
points. Steve Inglis was next in line
with six points as result of one
basket and four free throws, while
Paffrath followed with a basket and
a free shot for three counters.
For Springfield, Larson, who scor-
ed all Of his teams points in the Sec
ond half except two was high point
man of the game with four field goals
and one free throw for nine points.
Nelson tied Tenney for second place
in the scoring column with three
baskets and two gift shots for eight
points.
In preliminary contest the Jun
ior Highs took their second straight
by defeating the Springfield B team
1910. The Juniors displayed some
clever ball handling and good eye
for the basket and led throughout
most of the game. Clarence Discher
was the leading point getter.

2 BOYS, 4 GIRLS IN
6TOWNS AWARDED
DOLLAR FOR NOTES
Quality of Santa's Mail is Credit
to Schools and Parents
of County

After careful consideration by COM
petent judges, six letters entered in
the Gazette's Santa Claus CORES
pondence contest were picked as
prize winners and their writers will
receive one silver dollar each.
Prize winners are: Kenneth Kast-
ner 10 years old, Lamberton; Grace
Brinker, eight, Redwood Falls; Irene
Wagner, nine, Morgan; Ernest Mas,
eight, Walnut Grove; Charlotte Sch
eunert, nine, North Redwood and
Mary Jean Beckendorf, Delhi. The
number Of awards was increased by
one because Of the unusually large
number of entries.
The calibre Of the letters received
was remarkable and the ability Of
present day children to think, spell
and write is a splendid endorsement
of our schools. The number of let
ters showing unselfshness and con-
sideration for brothers and sisters,
parents and friends as well as self
indicates careful upbringing.
We are proud of the number and
quality of the letters received and
grateful for the cooperation of par
ents and teachers as well as the
youngsters. We hope every child TAX
ing part will find his wishes fulfilled
on Christmas morning.
HOW THE LETTERS WERE
JUDGED: All entries were first set
in type and the proofs given to the
judges. They selected two dozen of
the best, taking into consideration
originality, unselfshness, thoughtful
ness of others and other commend
able traits as we'll as the age of the
writer and grade in school. Then the
two dozen original letters We're CIV
en- the judges and further elimina-
tions were made by separating the
neatest, again giving consideration to
age and place in school. Letters bear
ing evidence of too much coaching by
teacher or parent were disqualified
and several good ones lost out by
failing to include all the facts re-
quested in the rules. Other things be-
ing equal, the first to arrive were Civ
en- preference.
Four winners are on this page. The
other two were published last week.
Here are several late arrivals.

published compilations will be
available shortly.
The compilation is of unusual
interest in view of recent indica
tions of a recpening of capital
sources for real estate financing,
following a four-year dearth OF
mortgage money. Statements OF
the companies are expected to be
given very general study as indl'
eating the loan attitude, under
changed general conditions, OF
this highly important group OF
institutional lenders in the real
estate field.
Compiled data will include-be'
sides the name of the chief loan
officer of each company-the
type of property on which the
company makes loans; length OF
term and general type OF loan
with regard to amortization,
maximum percentage of the value
of the property securing the loan;
territory in which the individual
company will operate and the ap-
praiSal method it follows.
It is considered very probable
that this development will presage
eventual alteration in the lending
methods of many of the largest
life insurance companies which
have been loaning on real estate
security, due mainly to the adap.
ton of the buildiny loan method
of long-term mortgages by the
Government in its housing relief
and financing agencies.
