CARDS FOURTH
in DISTRICT PLAY:
LAMBERlON End
Indians Eliminate Redwood
Saturday Morning at
New Ulm, 2S-14

ingly over the heads of those who
might dispute their claim to re-
gional honors.
Having emphatically subdued
all other tribes in their territory
the Indians, who make their camp
ing grounds at Sleepy Eye, will
move their tepees to MontevideO
this weekend for the region three
pOw-wow.
However, no malice is held by
the Indians victims, who acknow-
ledge the formers superiority and
their right as the true represen-
tatives of the district and with
them to Montevideo will go the
moral support of the other schools
in the district.
One of the tiashlest aggrega
tons, seemingly equipped with
everything basketball team
needs, Sleepy Eye will, clash with
Appleton, champion of district IL
in the opening round Friday night
of the regional tournament. The
other two competitors are Hutch
inson, which supplants Glencoe,
runnerup in the state tournament
last year, as the representative
of district IL and Ivanhoe, ninth
district title-winner.
Appleton turned the tables on
Correll Wednesday night in a re-
play of Saturday nights protested
game, winning the district cham
pionship 20 to II after having lost
the first tilt 26 to %. Appleton
lodged protest following Satur-
days game claiming that Correll's
twin stars had switched jerseys to
start the second half without re-
porting the change to the referee,
although the official score-keeper
had been notified.
No opponent could stand up UNI
der the whirlwind attack the In
dams unleashed at New Ulm.
Gibbon, which was expected to put
ubra battle and soften Sleepy Eye
for Redwood Falls was massacred
"A to 16 Friday night. Redwood
Falls never had a chance Saturday
morning in the semi-finals but
had the distinction of coming clos
er than any of the other foes, los
ing % to ID. A plucky Lamber-
ton five was showed under in the
finals "a to IA.
Lamberton scored first in the
final game on a free throw by Ar
mold Rongstad, center, but from
then on it was all Sleepy Eye. Del
bert Kuester, giant pivot man,
dropped in four gift shots in sue
cession and Gilbert Theobald, cur
ly-headed guard, connected with a
field goal to increase Sleepy Eyes
total to six. Kuester swished an
other free throw and Howard He
denstad completed the opening
period with basket and a gra-
tbs shot.
16 Points In Quarter
Passing from one end of the
floor to another, employing
lightning fast break and display
ing a superlatlve deftness in ball
handling that held the fans in
awe, the Indians really went to
town in the second quarter piling
up 16 points on seven field goals,
three by Fred Youngman and two
free throws, while Lamberton had
to be content with four points and
the short end of 26 to 6 score
at the half.
The Indians cooled down in the
second half and allowed LANDER
ton to play them on even terms
each team making eight points.
There was just no breaking
through the Sleepy Eye defense
which was impregnable as a
bank vault with a " hour time
lock, as far as short shots
were concerned. Even long shots
were hard to get as the In
dians hawked the ball all over the
court and if a Lamberton player
held onto the ball a second too
long, he was sure to be tied up
in a held ball. To top off the ex-
hibition of polished cage playing,
Sleepy Eye went into a ring
around-the-rosy fourth quarter
stall and kept the ball shutting
back and across the floor and In
to the corners without making any
scoring attempts. Hedenstad and
Kuester took scoring honors with
eight points each.
New Ulm got the jump on Red
wood Falls in the first quarter OF
the consolation tilt and the Car
dinals never recovered sufficient
ly to get back into the running,
losing FL to 16. =,
The Cards drew the count to Ia
to II to start the final session but
New Ulm again spurted away as
If did each time Redwood Falls
approached within striking dis
lance. A field goal and free
throw by Lindemann, New Ulm
captain, in the last few minutes
settled things and Bob Paffrath's
gift shot completed everything.
Lindeman and Paul Vorwerk
noured in two buckets as a begin
ner and Douglas Kusske added
four more points after Steve In
glis had made good free throw
in the first quarter, Dick Coles
basket made the final count to 3.
New Ulm was held to a lone field
GOAL while the Cardinals were
making four gift shots in the
second period, which ended with
the home team still in the lead 10
to Z. Each team made four
points in dull third quarter. In
glis was high point man of the
