Strong MankatO Team
To Play ALL Staters

Keener competition than in previ-
Gus games can be expected by the
Provident Life All-State basketball
team when it meets the Mankato In
dependents at p. m. Thursday in
the armory.
The Mankato aggregation was A.
A. U. district champion last year and
this season claims itself to be the
strongest club in southern Minnesota.
Fans who have been stunning the
All-State's earlier engagements be-
cause of their one-sided advantage
can be assured of a close battle
Thursday night.
Art Egge, an all state guard at st,
Olaf several years ago, who did not
play last week because of a sprained
ankle, is expected to be ready to
start the Mankato game. Don Pet
erson, Otto Rortvedt and Bart Cor
coran will be in the lineup. A
dance will follow the game.
ALL-STARS SWAMP
GAYLORD so TO 26
Led by lengthy Otto Rortvedt OF
Henderson who controlled the tip-off
and scored 18 points, the Provident
Life All-Stars handled the Gaylord
All-State team with ease Thursday
night, piling up a so to 26 score.
The Providents played without
Raasch and Egge and lost Arnett
comparatively early in the game on
personals but Bethke and Corbett fill
ed in admirably to keep the visitors
always under control. Even in the
last few minutes when Rortvedt also
left the game with personals and the
Riskmen were forced to play with
four men for want Of a sub, the Gay
lord five found it impossible to more
than play Redwood on even terms.
Most Of Rortvedt's scoring was
done in the first half when he was
fed consistently under the hoop
where Gaylord guards found it i'm
possible to control his snakey shots.
Redwood took the lead at once and
increased it consistently until the
four-man finish when Gaylord in
creased its total from 16 to 26 and
the Providents moved up from 40 to
so.
Peterson's contribution was a
splendid floor game and two baskets
and four free shots. Arnett had a
basket and two gifts and Corcoran,
two baskets. Corbett found the hoop
four times from the floor and once
from the foul line and Bethke ac-
counted for two baskets and three
gift shots.
Gaylord shifted its lineup frequent
ly, using several players from it's
state high school championship team
of 1926. High scorer for the guests
was M. Kruger, center, with ten
points.
