Schoolmen of District % met las
week in this city and ironed out
several rough spots in the basket
ball situation. The district Is going
through another period of transi
ton. Sank Centre held the seat Of
the tournament until Alexandria
built new larger gym. The tour
.ney went naturally to them. Now
Glenwood through fire Is building
a new gym, Zoo capacity, and right
fully gets the seat of the tourney
at least for next year. But the best
development Is the fact that Glen.
wood and Alex will take theiI
chances in drawing along with the
others. Heretofore they were auto
matically placed in separate brack.
cts for obvious reasons. No small
factor was the financial end. And
this corner isn't quoting Local
schoolmen; it's our own idea. Any
one with half wit could see that
1t was good business to help the
home team into higher brackets
and incidentally to drag Glenwood
along with them.

Anyhow, Sank Centre and
Long Prairie have been behind
long enough. They have invar-
iably been matched together or
have drawn either Alex or the
500 team In the first round.
Now the Great Unwashed will
mingle with the Elite on COM
mon grounds in the drawing.
Here's what happened in past
wears. Coaches convened and
slapped each other on the
backs. They decided to proceed
the same as in the previous
years. Eight teams in this half
of the district were thrown In a
hat, joggled up. and the coach
es picked their opposition from
the topper. The same was dealt
for the second eight teams In
the other half of the district.
The four seated teams, Sank
Centre, Long Prairie, Glenwood
and Alexandria, were exempt
from sub-district competition
so they were thrown In the
topper with X, Y, A, and b win
ners in the sub contests, and
went into the drawing act. But
carefully note that Alex and
Glenwood could not draw each
other. How often has the inc
vitable happened? GlenwOOd or
Alex could just as easily draw
one of the sO-called tough
teams. But experience has
taught us that the Streeters
and the Prairieites are the guys
who suffered and met with the
Waterloo. So from now on
things are off the Gold STAN
dard."
Sank Centre did manage t.
wheedle something out of the dis
trict men. They were awarded thu
running of the spring track NEE
of the district on May 18th. If Their
is any spring.
Lights on! The school mole
SINNERS will play football next
season under fIoodlights If they
have to play on the hills and
dales of a plowed field. The
good OF pigskin sport has pro-
crossed to an evening enter
tainment and no high school
without it can, with ease, meet
the tremendous costs 1t in
wolves. The company holding
the lights is awaiting only the
word ego" from the school and
the lights will be dumped with
out further delay into their
very laps.
Coach Harvey opened his Of
fetal worrying season with the
announcement of a partially
completed football schedule for
SO. Keldahl, Graham, Decree,
Dubois, and Poppe-3 nnemen
and Q backfield-will be among
the missing next fall. As he
scans the IS or 40 fellows who
have signed on for spring
workouts, Gene shudders as he
pictures one of them as a pros
pective fullback. And huns fit
fully, give me a Bucker-who"
can melt those lines like Ora
ham did.
