SPORTS
OF THE WEEK

tire outfits work out last FRIDAY.
Though Benson won, IS to II, it
was nobody's game until the final
whistle. Benson had a smooth
passing offensive and a defense
that set tighter than a wet drum
head. They passed we'll and cane
through in the pinches. The locals
employed an offense with three
men back passing crosswise paral-
lei to the basket. When the mom-
ent broke, they cut fast into the
basket for short shot. Fouling was
light in this clearly fought game
even when the pace is considered.
Keldahl provided the locals with
distinct advantage by getting the
tip off consistently. Arvig with the
highest point margin played
whale of a game. There wasn't a
man that didn't do his job, and
that Brandon-Harvey's find for
this seasons working out fine in
the guard position. He plays nice
ly on offensive and is a consistent
defensive man.
What q whale of a difference
free throw can make. 1t was
the difference between win
ming and losing last Friday.
The locals scored field goals
to 6 for Benson. Benson on the
other hand scored 6 free
throws out Of possible 10, and
the locals capitalized on only
8 out of 10. Brush up on those
free shots, boys. They mean
ball games won!
Tonight, Thursday, in the local
gym Glenwood tangles with the To-
Gals in a pre-holiday game that will
wind up basketball until 1886. Glen
wood dropped their opener to Osa-
kis without a field goal, but
against Elbow Lake they played a
better brand of ball. They lost IS
to 10. Tonight it's matching of
two teams, who have won none, and
the set up looks pretty lively for
this evening.
The Independents have an
offering for their patrons dur
ing the holiday season. Fri
day evening, December 27th,
Brooten will meet them local
ly. Another game, perhaps with
Starbuck, will probably en-
nance the holiday bill.
| Doc Spears has a way of keeping
himself in the limelight-and his
position in hot water! He's forever
breaking into the head lines of the
sports world with threatenings OF
being booted out of the old Alma
Mater he serves. Right now he's in
a rumpus at Wisconsin. From his
past coaching records and this
years bill of fare he had to offer
this corner adjudges him a good
polititian.
Pleading looks to the referee
are about all the opposition
Joe Louis gets in return for his
punches. Bet 1t would be graft
flying for Joe to stand toe to toe
with some real man and swap
punches. The other night Paul

Maybe that's the way he saved
himself-sitting on the canvas

DOGGY man of the fight world,
Joe Louis.
