There You Go Always-Belitt-

Black Hills of sister state.
South Dakota, Is becoming q
mecca, q winter haven II you
will, for winter sp0rtsters. The
rolling foothills provide thrills
for skiing, and there are broad
expanses for cross country
marches on snow shoes or
skis. It Is further emphasized

An initial cut in the basketball
squad was made this week reduc-
ing a group Of 35 prospects to a
group of "a men. Following prac-
tice game on Friday at Upsals
Coach Harvey will announce q
second and final cut reducing his
squad to a more workable group of
Is or 16. After Friday he will know
more what his team can do. Diff
ferent combinations of players will
be used, different styles of play
will be tested, certain set plays
and breaks will be tried for effect
iveness-and the boys will have to
be on their toes. A practice game
is one in which the game can be
stopped at any point. When things
start to go mussy, the Coach
bounces out on the floor and
straightens his team out. It's real
ly quite interesting, and may be
something of interest If a game
could be played like that sometime
before large crowd.
December 4, two weeks

itial contest. Word comes from
st. Cloud that the Tech team
has been pruned to 20 men in
Guiding three lettermen, and
they're coming to Sank Centre
primed for the fray. The locals
will know better which way
they're going after the practice
game Friday. Until then, we
will hold too many predictions
about seats on the regular
team.
That old Gopher influence is felt
even out here in the sticks. That
razzle dazzle use of laterals by the
Gophers has opened a new field in
the game of football, and these
youngsters are very quick to catch
on. The other day as this writer
passed the library, a group OF
would-be footballers-and it's my
opinion they will be-were playing
the good OF game. The ball carrier
was about to be hit mid-riff, when
another at the side lines yelled
Lateral it," He did as he was
tackled, and the other romped OF
few more yards-on the scale
mind you for the library lawn is
not 100 yards-for a nice gain. II
was a nice play even for high
school kids, and these fellows were
much younger.
