Sank Centre Youth
Experiences Quake
Evan Wruclx, of Lawing, Alaska, In
Forest Ranger Service, Tells
OF Adventure

When a Minnesota boy goes
through an earthquake, it's rare
experience. Evan Wruck, in the for
est ranger service at Lawing, Alas
ka, related his experiences during
the quake there on October %, in
letter to his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. John Wruck. His letter was
sent on the last boat before the
longshoremen's strike virtually par
alyzed all Alaskan ports.
1t was while he was playing
chess with the cook that the huge
tremor came that shook the build
ings. Suddenly tables and chairs
careened wildly around the room
and the floor waved like a flag in
the breeze, said Evan. Then all was
still. Small tremors followed
throughout the night; and Friday,
the next day, tremors followed at
intervals Of from five minutes to an
hour. The longest shock lasted for
half a minute and came to a halt
with violent jerk. Despite the
fact that the ground was sent into
ocean-like waves, Evan observed
the next day that the ground show
ed no signs of the upheaval. No
cracked or broken places could be
found in the earth. In Anchorage,
some miles away, damage was done
though none Of the buildings were
felled. It is the consensus Of opinion
in Alaska that had the buildings
been tall, none of them would have
withstod the shock.
Evan stated that it was a great
experience-nOtt to be repeated. In
the winter months he expects to be
transferred to Juneau. At this time
of the year it rains continually
though snow Is expected at any
time.

Season Will Open December
18th With st. Cloud
Here

Coach Harvey will trot his bask-
eteers- some thirty strong-onto
the floor this weekend. From this
aggregation will the basketball
machine of the '37 season be built.
Immediately work will begin to get
the boys in shape to make the an
nounced schedule as attractive as
possible to local fans.
With the announcement of a
fourteen game schedule-thirteen
games are on the roster already
home fans will be able to witness
the local machine in action against
eight different teams. AS has been
the custom in late years st. Cloud
Tech opens the local season. In the
last two years they have nosed out
the locals by one point and then
proceeded to stardom in their own
district. Benson and Little Falls
throughout the sched-
ule offer other non-district en-
counters for the boys.
Eleven district games put the 10
Gals in the running with some
tough competition. A two-game
schedule with each of Alexandria,
Glenwood, Osakis, Long Prairie,
and Melrose, and a single tilt with
Swanville comprises the district
roster.
Coach Harvey has a record to
make and hold this year, for his
teams of the past two years have
been playing ball. In 1895 the out
fit hit their stride in early season,
and started up the ladder of vic
tory to take ten games straight.
Last season the team went into dis
trict tourney play, handicapped
with losses through sickness, but
with a district rating of 1886. So
they're pointing to those records to
beat this year and with the return
of four regular lettermen 1t ap-
pears that Coach Harvey has at
least something to go on.
The schedule completed to date:

Walker Cup Golf

Matches
BY DAVIS J, WALSH

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. lit
started out 16 years ago as a con-
test of skill and determination be-
tween the amateur golfers Of
America and Great Britain, with
the Walker Cup as it's symbol, and
though so many things have
changed in the meantime, this
hasn't. We have insisted upon
keeping the skill and they have
the determination.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be re-
Stunning the series tomorrow and
Thursday down at Pine Valley, a
spot so deep in the Jersey hinter-
land that harsh words have been
uttered about the chosen site of
the 1886 series. But I think the
golf people are acting in a very
sensible way.
After 16 years, they've found
out what to do with the Walker
Cup matches. They're hiding
them.
Haven't Much Chance
That's about all you can do
with this straw man of interna-
tional sport, which has seen Amer
lea march to eight successive vic
tories and now apparently is on
its way to the ninth. I really
would like to see the British win
this one, because under this Gym
ical exterior there beats the heart
of a child, and besides, if the
British don't know when they're
beaten, I do. They haven't much
of a chance here.

course. It's tighter than a hand.
cuff, with tiny fairwayS hacked
out Of virgin forest and appalling
snares fronting each green.
They've been shooting TBS upward
here, but that's not under the lash
with the pressure on.
Moreover, we've even given
them the wrong opponents. Some
have been inclined to hold the
American team lightly but, for
purposes of this event, I think
they're first rate. Men like George
Dunlap, Scotty Campbell, Charley
Yates, Johnny Goodman, Johnny
Fischer, Walter Emery and Rey-
nolds Smith are excellent match
players. Dunlap, with his iron

Babes Team Will Tell
Looking at it on paper, it's hard
to conceive how any Of these ace
performers can be left off the old
Babes team. But we do not know
what Babes team will be or how
he's ranked the boys this year.
However, we'll continue to contend
the above men have been "tops"
this year in their performances
and deserve all-star recognition.
The daily letters continue to
show an uncertainty on the part
of fans to name a third baSeman.
Every selection has had different
player, which has kept anybody
from taking the lead
Jimmy Foxx, of the Red Sox,
managed to take a slight lead
early in the contest, but Odell
Hale, Of the Cleveland Indians,
came strong shortly after, followed
Dy FRANK higgins, OF Cne AS, Mar
vim Owen, of the Tigers, and Pep
per Martin, of the Cardinals.
Deadline Saturday
AS to the pitchers, there hasn't
been any doubt over the leaders.
Dizzy Dean, of the Cards, and
Carl Hubbell. of the Giants, have
led the list by far. Lefty Grove
has been next in line. Bill Dickey
and Gabby Hartnett, the latter of
the Cubs, have shared honorS for
catching duties.
Well, Saturday at midnight the
contest closes. Sometime next
week We'll know the worst. In the
meanwhile there's still chance to
get into the contest. A letter will
do the trick.

He's almost certain Lou Gehrig,
of the Yanks, will get the call at
first base. But the remainder Of
positions offer their problems.
Thus far in the contest, spon-
sored by The Washington Times,
the old favoriteS have polled the
greatest number of votes.
For example, including Gehrig,
fellows like Charley Gehringer, Of
the Tigers, has gained many vote
for second base. Earl Averill, of

"AnAC ~ 10 GIue CLldC FeTTy de-
feated him at Wimbledon, Bulge
has since turned the tables on
Perry by winning from the
EngliShman in the BritiSh-Ameri-
can team matches in England last
month. This victory-hiS first
over Perry-should give Bulge not
only added confidence against
Perry the next time, but should
also help him in all his matches.
'TwOuId Be Grand Battle
If these two men come through
to the finalS-and there appears
no reason why they Shouldn't-it
will be grand battle to the finish
with the breaks most likely decid-
ing the outcome. Perry won't be
able to stampede Bulge into hur-
rying his shots, while Budge's deep
forehand drives to Perry's back
hand corner, may cause the
EngliShman plenty of grief.
The other players in the tourney
line up about even. Bobby Riggs,
a newcomer and latest winner of
the Newport singles title, should
come out to the semifinals where
he would play Perry.
This, too, would be a good
match, as Riggs is fighter as we'll
as a clever SHOEMAKER. However,
against Perry, Riggs would need
more speed than he has shown
this year. Perry has repeatedly
demonstrated that he can out-re-
trieve retriever when it comes
to keeping the ball in play. Perry
also knows he has the needed
speed to kill an easy shot.
Frankie Parker, a sensation two
years ago, a flop to certain ex-
tents last year, and now better
than ever before, is still the me
chanical player, with set plays to
follow out and a beautiful Stroker
on every stroke except his fore
hand drive. He was shown vast
improvement this year on that
particular shot, but not enough to
be claSSed with Perry or Bulge.
Calls Wood Dangerous
Not much is expected this year
from Sidney Wood, last years
runner-up for the title. Wood has
been recovering from an appendi-
citiS operation and is still shy on
tournament tennis. However,
with his stroke equipment and ex-
perience in international cham
pionShipS, ne will be dangerous.
It's entirely within the realm of
possibility that Wood may pull
the biggest upset of the tourna-
ment. If I were playing, I'd hate
to have to play against him in the
early stages of the tournament, or
for that matter, at any time.
Bitsy Grant, of course, is the
greatest upset man of them all,
and he'll be out for the title with
might and main. He hasn't done
much upsetting this year so he'll
most likely make up for lost time
in the nationals. Bulge was his
unfortunate victim last year.
Then there is young Joe Hunt,
runner-up at Seabright, who, if
he's on his game, will cause the
higher-ranked players some diff
ficulty. Hunt is remarkably &C.
curate with his shots.
Gregory Mangin IS one of the
old crowd who always plays well
in the nationals. Whether he can
get his mind away from business
and back on tennis is a question,
but he is always a dangerous COM
petitor.

A Terrible Thing

Whereas I have never seen

that lasted less than a round with
LevinSky sitting supinely on the
lower strand of the ropes in a
neutral corner, hands down, beg
ging the referee to protect him
from the further fury of one JOS
eph Barrow Louis.
From such extremities, one
might almost expect anything to-
night. I hope it will be a good,
Stand-up fight, for we need more
of such around here to make the
boxing industry what it should
be.
If it is as good a bout as the
Gallagher-Tow affair, it will be
worth those advanced ringside
prices which have been put in
vogue. Or if it is even as good
as the Gallagher alento meet
ing, no rebates should be in order.

has a sort of double incentive to
win.
In the first place he owes it to

pride, to knock his blatant an
