'Wags'
(Chuck Rathe)

While we're In the midst Of
the June primaries and the
residents of this community
have worn their pencils to
stubs marking KS after their
favOrite candidates, IL Is well to
ask them to put their marker
on the several petitions circu-
lated around the city for the
All-Star college team and Ber-
ME Bierman as coach. This
team picked by q national poll
will play the Detroit Lions In
the first football classic of the
'S6 season. Already the Sank
Centre vote Is mounting In fav-
or of the Minnes0tans, but we
want more votes. There seems
to be some misunderstanding.
This Is not q local affair. Dick
Cullum, of the Minneapolis
Journal. Is conducting this poll
throughout Minnesota. And O
nationwide movement Is be-
ing conducted In all sections of
the country for their favorite
teams. So step right up and
ask to be listed among the vot-
ers that will place Bierman on
the coaching staff and some Of
the Gophers on this All-Star
selection.
Alloy there you raquette WELD
ers! You've got another tennis
court. AS we write this, we await
the arrival of the tapes which will
be laid Immediately. The fellas
wish to inform the community
that they didn't sit around and
wait for someone to hand them an
other court, but went out and got
it themselves. This corner wishes
to thank the swell bunch of fellows
who did such dandy job in put
ting the Country Club court in
shape, and also to Clarence Dicki-
son for his able assistance in lay.
ing out the court. We breathe cas-
Ter as we contemplate the fact
that the bills are paid and the
court in readiness. $50 feet of
brand new netting replaced the old
rusted wire on the back stops.
They'll hold even you guys that put
them in there hard.
The cry is going up from the
four corners of the city for u
tennis tournament this sum-
mer. The suggestion has come
that this corner push the pro-
ject q little. No definite ar
rangements have been made,
but 1t would be a swell affair.
The plan suggested to us would
be an elimination play-off prior
to the dates Of the tourney. On
the dates Of the tourney the
winners Of the play offs would
compete and give local fans
some real tenniS in both singles
and doubles. The preliminary
Examinations would be the bet
ter because It would cut the
time of the tourney and give
the crowd only the best In the
competition. To take care OF
prizes-which we hope can be
giyen-there will probably be a
small entry fee. Oughta get q
committee going on this right
away.
In looking over the advance in
formation on the st. Paul open
to be played on July 16
to 10 thought occurred to this
corner. There are to be some of
the Big Shots of Golfing circles in
that play. What occurred to us is
this: Why couldn't the golf club
stage a Main Street day? Invite
golfers of this section Of Minneso-
ia to participate in tourney. Pos
sibly one or two of the higher-up-
pers of golfing could be induced to
Stage an exhibition-if the club
talked fast enough. Introduce Sank
Centre golfing to this section OF
the state. There may be lot OF
"ifs" and "buts" in this little
scheme, and it may be saturated
with the well-known aqua, but a
Main Street golfers convention
would be a dandy affair.
