is the first for Sleepy Eye since
the annual tournament was inau-
gurated but the team rates as one
of the strongest in the meet and
the only one of the eight entrants
with an undefeated record. With
the addition of five victories in
district and regional play the In
dians have piled up Is wins.
Albert Lea, region one and Be-
midi, region eight, will clash in
opening tilt at 3 p. M, while Red
Wing, region four winner and Luz
verne representing region two,
meet in the second afternoon
game. Sleepy Eye plays Wadena,
the latter region six champion, in
the first evening contest, while
Minneapolis Edison, region five
and Bull Of region seven, play in
the final first round engagement.
The semi-finals will be played Fri
day night and the finals and con-
ISOLATION Saturday night. Four Of
the quints Bull, Luverne, Bemid-
il and Edison are repeaters from
last year.
Sleepy Eye put its vise-like de-
tense into operation in the fourth
quarter of the Hutchinson fray
blanking its opponents in that
period while scoring its six point
winning margin.
The Indians had an easy time
Friday night with Appleton de-
spite a four foul disadvantage
caused by the persistent booing Of
the Appleton team before the
start of the game, winning 25 to
