A football player carries a lot of
excess weight around with him.
Checking items he has a helmet.
shoulder pads, pants padded,
heavy shoes with cleats, and
sweaters and the total weight is,
we would judge, nearly fifteen
pounds or more. So this week,
since the lads are tired of carrying
all that stuff around, they will don
the scanty costume of the basket
ball court. In the several pounds of
the basketball uniform, there Is a
small variance in weight. Accord
ing to the size of the shoe worn.

stance. His shoe is small and cut a
pound off his uniform. But there
are others (please do not request
names, our mailing department is
too busy to cater to those trivial
requests) whose feet are encased in
suitcases that put them to a handi-
cap. We are firmly convinced that
civilization today has softened too
many people. The feet as well as
the head. So we advocate that
basketball players wear a specially
treated sock. The Greek athletes
years ago ran with a lot less on
than a pair of shoes. They were
hailed as mighty men. Think of
the toughness the pedal extremit-
les could enjoy if the boys went
without shoes. OF course, there's
always another side to every sug-
gestion. You can see we are very
broad-minded. Tacks and other ex-
traneous matter will not be thrown
by the spectators. 1t may be per-
Missile in those corners that the
referee hangs out. Stepping on the
toes will be a personal foul It
would be interesting to watch a
referee on all fours checking the
procedure. Goodness, we're getting
nowhere.
Elsewhere in this paper the
announcement of the local
basketball schedule will be
found. Expecting a fourteen
game schedule, the roster is
now complete to the 18th game.
Coach Harvey has his Watsons
at work digging up another
team. Local fans may see
games in the local gym, with
six of them conference games.
That is teams in District %. In
circumference games include
the opener on December 4th
with st. Cloud which Is becom-
ing habit on the local sched-
ule and a good one, if we may
say so. Thank you. Benson is
the second game and is also
without this district. Last year
we lost both of these games by
a marginal point. Incidentally
st. Cloud had one of the top
notch clubs in the lower dis
trict Little Falls, third out of
conference opponent, plays the
game here this year. Last year
they beat the boys 80 to 18. We
are looking for things this year.
With two seasons of great ball to
uphold, Coach Harvey finds a good
seasons work for him and the
boys. In '35 the lads took a winning
streak of ten games before they
dropped a non-conference tilt to |
Little Falls. In 1886 they went into |
the district meet with a rating of |
1886. You know, measles are awful |
things, and this is not irrevelant |
and immaterial. For in 1895 the
lads lost the district tournament, or
at least the first game, to a case of
the measles. Kelly came down with
them several days before the Alex
game, and necessary arrangements
followed. They dropped the game
to Alexandria "a to 20 in as thrill
ing a ball game as this corner has
seen. So Harvey has asked to be
delivered from the scourge of the
Great Plague.
