ference and District 10 will also
have to take a backseat to the

ward stopping Tracy and halting
a losing streak that has now ex-
tended through four games. The
game will be played on the Scrap
pers' floor and the Redwood Falls

things off with the Tracy Junior
High aggregation.
Coach Earle Obermeyer receiv-
ed a good slice of encouragement
Monday with the announcement
that Bob Paffrath regular guard
last year, is eligible for this
weeks game after being out of
action all season. Paffrath, a
driving type of player, will prob
ably not start the contest, but
will be inserted soon after the
game gets underway. This will
mean a shift in the lineup with
Russ Lauterbach going to forward
and Paul Asleson and Cubby
Thomson fighting it out for the
otrer forward post.

success, winning three games and
dropping four. It's victories were

feats were handed down by Hend-
