The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1936-02-27

Before we get ahead OF the
story let's look over the card
for Thursday and Friday of
this week. First off some of
these teams have to be gotten
rid of, SO they will be eliminat-
ed I'm the sub-district here this
week. There Is always plenty
of thrills even II Sank Centre
doesn't furnish the local touch
for the spectators. Those boys
are fighting for q place in the
district tourney, and boy they
are I'm for some real scraps.
Looks from where we sit like
SwanvilIe will be one team Sc
lected for district competition
unless they've slipped since
this corner has seen them. The
race for the other place will
center around MelrOse and
Osalxis with the former given
the edge for durability. From
there on we won't talk.
From our looker-outer down Kan
sas way, Bob Rudolph, who spends
his summers in this community,
comes word that be is doing all
right on the basketball quint at
Baker u. Bob wasn't looking for
publicity but for his friends up
"hyar in the Nawth Countree" we
submit that Baker is on it's way to
it's eighth conference victory. Bob
said seven, but they beat Kansas
Wesleyan AZ to IT early in the sea-
son, so we concede it another vic
tory. While Bob doesn't play as q
regular, he gets in and on the pin
ches is okay on the buckets.

With his personal epistle Bob en-
closed clipping from the Witchi-
ia Beacon-Kansas' greatest news
paper-of the invincible Wilfred
Hetzel. The article is a modest ac-
count of his exploits during his
career, and the picture accompany
ing shows the Champ on a ladder
putting the ball through the hoop
the easy way which has been our
idea all along. Hetzel has been
transforming around Kansas and
Oklahoma for some time enjoy
ing his chosen career and tapping
up publicity.
But what is this? Ye gods,
we're besieged with Hetzel clip
pings. Clarence Nathe gently
tapped us on the shoulder and
handed us another, and with a
knowing smile also letter from
the Darb. Ouch! We asked for
fan mail, but please turn off
the heat. Complaint day won't
be for two weeks. We didn't get
this direct but we got tin the
neck. Pipe this from our in
jured friend, Hetzel. The ex-
cerpt from his letter reads: Il
am enclosing the excerpt from
the Wichita Beacon and as it
will cost me too much to have
copies sent to every individual
in Sank Centre whom 1 would
like to have it seen by, I'm go
ing to ask you to show it to
Chuck Rattle and the Gopher
Prairie hangouts in particular.
/ won't bother to send the Her
aid a single line of my achieve
ments on the tour since they
have never done my ability
justice in their columns where
it counts. It's sure a distinct
relief to perform where aud
fences look upon you with awe
instead of jeering you and act
ing Indifferent like they have
done at home. In spite of all
this Lack of publicity in my be-
half in the home town paper,
I'm giving the city in which 1
live several thousand dollars
worth of advertising when 1
could just as well give 1t to
MelrOse or Alexandria. Alex
will at least give me front
page writeups." Wilfred, we be-
wall our negligences and ignOr-
ances, but Sank Centre can't
forget your sighting prO-Mel-
rose attitude when you first
came to our fair city. AS for
