Because of the abundance of
splendid forwards the race for
first team positions was the keen

three forwards on the all-star
aggregation, Werring of Spring
field would have been accorded the
third spot. Tenney impressed the
tournament fans all during the
play-off with his deadly eye for
the basket, good share of his
field goals coming from far out

were unable to penetrate their OPP

reach fitted in well with Sleepy

in "A scores in three games while
Werring counted % in four.

CAPITOL
SLANTS
BY John nj. Zwach

threaten and demand, in no mel

what they termed proper consid-
Grafton"
Coming close on the heels of an
orderly and reasonable Farm
Holiday association group, the in
vaders assumed control of the
house chambers and in a number
of frey speeches accused the leg
islators of all charges which were
anything but fiattering, even go
ing to the extreme of stating they
would much prefer to tear the
members to pieces, limb from
limb.
A j. Rockne, Zumbrota senator,
chairman of the powerful finance
committee in the senate, was not
excused from receiving his share
of the oratorical blast. Besides
stating in vociferous tones that
hanging was too good for him, the
huge crowd took up the cry
"Down with Rockne" which rever-
berated through the halls of the
house and corridors.
Crowds Jam Halls
While various spokesman talked
to a jammed house others brought
reports of proceedings to the
thousands gathered in the rotun-
da. aisles and stairways and to
those who had gathered on the
capitol steps because of no more
available indoor space.

Auto License Fees
Payable April Is

The state legislature Tuesday
afternoon extended the deadline
for payment of automobile license
taxes to April is. The vote was
109 to 60.
Legislative action was taken
pending further consideration OF
proposals to retain the low license
fees in effect for the last two
years.
Originally the deadline was
February Is. As controversy de-
veloped over various proposals for
changing the fee schedule the leg
islature temporarily extended the
time for payments without penal
ty to March Is. With the deadline
only three days away and legis-
lative factions seemingly no near
er agreement on the basic ques-
tion, a new extension Of time was
voted by the house in concurrence
with previous senate action.

the past week in remodeling the
former Stensvad garage, which
was leased last week by Rayburn

by Mr.. Burris, although he has
several prospective tenants. The
part of the building just west of

nothing for sure has been decide
for it either. The gasoline pumps
of the Bonded Oil station which
are in front of the center of the
building will be moved to the east
in front of the part that Mr.. Bur-
ris will keep for himself, with Of
fees in that part.
The eastern part and the back
will be used as a driveway and for
storage space, with the back shop
as the work shop of the Burris
Body and Paint shop. A side en-
trance and driveway also leads to
the work shop.
The building which Mr.. Burris
has vacated, owned by Mrs. Sar-
Chef of Portownsend, Washington,

Falls minister, has been rented by
the Dittbenner and Gluth Imple-
ment company. Mr.. Dittbenner

tend to move in as soon as the
building can be reprinted and
several improvements made, prob
ably about April l. The building
