ECHO PLACES TWO
ON CLASS A MEET
ALL-STAR QUINTET
Gibb0n, Morgan, Gaylord also
Represented on Gazette
Mythical Five

Although Gibbon walked away
with the Class A tournament
championship, Echo won individ-
ual honors by placing two players
on the all-tourney team selected
by the Gazette. The mythical five
was chosen with the aid of tour
nament officials and coaches of
other schools who attended the
meet as onlookers.
Besides Echo the other schools
represented on the all star aggre-
cation are Gibbon, Morgan and
Gaylord.
Following is the final selection:
Forwards, Ralph Whitcomb,
Morgan and Floyd Gugisburg,
Gibbon.
Center, Marvin Pehling, Echo.
Guards, George Pehling, Echo
and George Fisher, Gaylord.
The selection of the forwards
and center was an easy task as
three players stood head and
shoulders above most of the 9th
ers in those positions. Gugisberg,
stocky and fast as lightning, was
high scorer of the tournament
with 80 points. He was a hard
player and most of his points
were made on drives into the bas-
ket. The same can be said of
Whitcomb, Morgan's dark-haired
flash, who scored % points during
the tourney. Duane Syverud of
Echo was another contender for
a forward position, while mention
should also be made of Edmund
Kelly of Morgan, John Vogland of
Delhi and Donald Freidl of Glib
bon.
Marvin Pehling at center gives
the all star roster a pivotman
who bowed to no one during the
tourney in controlling the tipoff
Pehling was also a fine ball hand
Ter and the main spring of the
Echo attack. Howard Hunerberg
of Gibbon and Victor Sather OF
Franklin, the latter a guard on
last years all star five, were 9TH
er outstanding centers.
Versatile guards were absent
from the tourney, the two chosen
being picked more for their defen-
sive power than scoring ability
The selection of George Pehling
made it a family affair for Echo
as George is brother of the GEN.
ter. Pehling broke up more than
one fast break and batted the ball
out of the hands of his opponents
on several occasions as they were
about to shoot. Fisher, Gaylord's
contribution, was particularly
strong on his blackboard play. He
dropped in two baskets from fal
out in the Echo game.

by Beating Echo 28-2l in Finals

and three gift shots, two of
his baskets coming in the last
quarter when Echo became too
familiar. Donald Fried, who team
ed with Gugisberg at the other
forward post, flashed some of his
last years form by Tipping in a
trio of buckets, seasoned with a
free throw, for seven points. With
Pehling receiving first aid assist
ance, Dyane Syverud, blond for
ward, had to carry the Echo scor-
ing burden and responded with
seven points.
Two field goals and a gift shot
by Gugisberg and another free
shot by Howard Hunerberg gave
Gibbon a 6 to 0 lead in the open
ing session, Echo failing on five
free throw attempts. Gugisberg
and Fried helped with four points
each, while Burton THEM added a
basket to make Gibbons total 16
and Syverud, Anderson and Rus
sell Radach broke the ice for
Echo but only for four points, at
the end of the half.
Rally Falls Short
Scoring was evenly distributed
between the two aggregations
during the third quarter each con-
verting five and with Gibbon in
possession of Fl to 9 margin to
begin the home stretch. Echo's
valiant comeback made Gibbon
stretch but the champions were
too far out in front and still able
to shoot baskets to permit Echo's
II points, more that it was able
to make in three quarters, to
cause enough damage.
Morgan had little difficulty with
Delhi, holding the latter to three
points during the entire first half,
while garnering II points on three
field goals each by Edmund Kelly
and Ralph Whitcomb, two by Nor
man Hansen and a free throw by
Don Nielsen. Mainly through the
efforts of John Vogland and Char
les Marsh, Delhi drew the count
to % to 13 but fell behind again
/; in the final period as Kelly, Haus-
en- and Nielsen again connected,
while Delhi had to be content
with two free throws. Kelly took
the scoring honors with II points,
while Hausen followed with nine
and Whitcomb with six.

ECHO UPSETS GAYLORD

History repeated itself when
Echo eliminated supposedly
strong Gaylord team, regarded as
a possibility for the finals, % to
16 in a game that turned out to
be the main attraction Friday eve
ming.
Gaylord started out as though
it meant to atone for last years
defeat, leading at the end of the
first period 5 to 0. After that,
however, the situation was re-
versed.
1t required Echo the initial ses-
sion to solve Gaylord's defense
and set up one of it's own. Gay
lords margin was whitfield to 8 to
Z at the end of the half and with
the start of the third quarter
Echo pounced into six point lead,
with Duane Syverud and Marvin
Pehling, forward and center re-
spectively, collecting all of Echo's
Is points during the half. They
tied at 10 points each for high
honors. Gaylord found it almost
impossible to penetrate Echo's
tight guarding and relied for the
most part on shots from well out
or the floor, which, however, fail
ed to find the mark appreciably.

MORGAN GUSTS FRANKLIN

MORGAN GUSTS FRANKLIN
Ralph Whitcomb and the re-
mainder of the Morgan team were
too much for the small Franklin
five, the former ringing up an
easy 20 to 16 triumph in the open
ing game of the tourney.
Whitcomb put on the best indi-
vidual display of scoring of the
evening, the dark haired, slim
built forward dropping in seven
baskets and one free throw for 15
points, more than half of his
teams total. The other Morgan
scores were will distributed.
Morgan assumed six point
lead in the first quarter which
terminated 8 to 2 while Franklin
reduced the margin to five points
in the second quarter, Morgan's
lead at half time being II to Z.
The second half saw Morgan pull
ing away out of reach of any
possible Franklin rally, Whitcomb,
Edmund Kelly, Reuben Friedrich
and Donald Nielsen connecting
for a total of II points to nine by
their opponents. Victor Sather,
center, stood out for the losers
with four field goals. Morgan
concentrated its defense on him
but he was dangerous at all times.

MORGAN DEFEATS
DELHI FOR THIRD
WabassO and Belview Unable
to Get Here for Meet
Friday, Saturday

A fast breaking, sharp shooting
band of Gibbon cagers unleashed
an attack too potent for tired
Echo basketball team to match
Saturday night and Gibbon left
Redwood Falls with the Class A
championship trophy for the sec
ond straight year by turning IN a
% to Fl triumph in the final game
of the tourney.
Heavily outscored throughout
the first three quarters, Echo
made an Alamo last stand in the
closing period, the only session in
which it seriously threatened, and
for a time revived the hopes OF
rabid Echo fans. However, when
Echo became too serious, the de-
Tending champs eased away. The
closest Echo came to the gold
jerseyed crew, except for the first
quarter, was seven points.
In the consolation tilt, the sur
prising Morgan five doubled the
count over Delhi 80 to Is for its
second victory of the tournament.
Morgan previously extended Echo
in the semi-finals before the lat
ter finally won by a three point
margin.
Echo obviously showed the
strain of the two hard contests it
engaged in before meeting Glib
bon, while the latter had played
but onc game, subduing Delhi
during the morning. Gibbon pre-
sented Echo with enough oppor-
tunities to reverse the final result
for the runner-ups lost 13 possible
points when free throws failed to
find their mark, Echo dropping IN
only nine out of %, six of them
in the fourth quarter.
Center Injured
Echo also suffered considerably
from the loss for nearly half of
the game of its towering, depend
able center, Marvin Pehling, who
received an elbow clip in the nose
early in the second quarter and
did not return to the game until
the start of the last session, after
difficulty was experienced in stop
ping the flow of blood. Gibbon
also played most of the fray with
out it's center, Howard Hunerberg,
usually a heavy scorer, who was
taken out in the initial period af-
ter three fouls had been register
ed against him and came back in
the fourth quarter only few
minutes before he acquired his
limit of rule infractions. Chester
THEM, Gibbon guard, also bagged
his limit as did Ric Anderson,
Echo forward, the game being
marked with a total of 26 fouls.
Floyd Gugisberg, muscular
Gibbon forward, was respon-
sible for 13 of his teams points,
connecting for five field goals

Drive On Obscene Books

Worthington - Alex Jameson,
operator of an oil station on u. S.
Is, west of the Rock Island depot,
was arrested and arranged before
Judge G. B. McMurtry on a char
ge of sale of obscene literature.
He waived examination entered a
plea of guilty, before Judge Geor-
ge P. Gurley in district court, re-
ceiving a Jail centence of six
months at hard labor.
Arrest of Jameson eliminated
two months of work on the part
of the county attorneys office, in
which an alarming permeation of
the younger element was uncover
ed. The booklets being circulated
are unspeakably vile, and the Off
cials are justifably aroused over
their circulation, which they are
determined to halt by the arrest
and prosecution of all persons
whomsoever, without fear or fav-
or.

FARMER LOSES HORSE
IN FREAK ACCIDENT

Proctor-A horse owned by
George Booker, farmer living on
the Ugstad road near Proctor,
was shot recently after meeting
with a freak accident. Booker was
shopping at Proctor and had left
his team tied to a clothespost in

whistle frightened the animals,
and they broke the post at the
base the cross arm falling onto
one horse. As it fell, the hook
caught the animal, tearing a long
cash in its belly. 1t was found
so badly injured that it was shot
to end its suffering.

Postal Service To
Manage Campaign

Washington, June 30 ,(AP)-James
A. Farley's dual role as postmaster
general and chairman of the Demo
cratic National Committeeman the
question whether he may quit the
cabinet post-aroused new interest to-
day as the autumn election campaign
hit it's stride.
Farley was reported by one source
to have sent his resignation to Presi-
dent Roosevelt and from another
came the suggestion that he might
take leave of absence from the Post
Office Department.
In Atlantic City, where he went for
a rest, Farley said last night:
II have not resigned as postmaster
general, and beyond that 1 have no
comment to make"
The New York Times, however, said
in a Washington dispatch that Farley
had sent his resignation from the cab
met to President Roosevelt in order
that he might concentrate on the
duties of his political post. The news
paper added that the resignation
would be accepted and that William
w. Howse. first assistant postmaster,
would become acting postmaster gen
eral. Some Democrats were said by
the newspaper to believe that if MIR.
Roosevelt is reelected Farley would
be re-appointed to the cabinet post.
Opposition to this plan also was re-
ported, along with indications that
the Presidents reelection might
mean a new postmaster general.

Brighter Picture of Nations
Finances Appears as Fis-
cal Year Comes to
Close
BUDGET ESTIMATES
OF RECEIPTS MET
Deficit Will Be One And
Quarter Billion Dollars
Under Morgenthau's Re-
cent Figures; Total Expen-
ditures Nearly Nine Bill
lions for Year

Washington, June 3O-(AP) A
brighter picture of the state of the
nations finances than had been
drawn up in previous official esti-
mates appeared in prospect today as
the Treasury tailed it's books for the
fiscal year ending at midnight.
Secretary Morgenthau will give the
official statement tomorrow night on
a nationwide radio hookup in what
he characterizes as his annual
speech, but in the meantime some in
dication of the final figures may be
gained from the Treasury's daily
statement of conditions, latest of
which is through the close of business
June 26.
For instance, it appears definite
that budgetary estimates of receipts
will be more than fulfilled, erclud-
ing the invalidated processing taxes,
and that Secretary Morgenthau's a
mended forecast of a deficit of s.
966, 100000 on June 80 would not ma
terialize.
President Roosevelts revised bud
get last September called for receipts
of $4,4O6,8OO,OOO during the fiscal
year, including $529,OOO,00O of pro
cessing taxes, which, in the meantime
have been ruled unconstitutional by
the Supreme Court. Through June 26,
and despite receipts of only $4,000, 900
in processing taxes, the governments
total income has been $4,000, 100000
Expenditures through June 26 a.
mounted to $S,793, 900, the largest
in any peace-time year, but the de-
ficit was only $4,712,7 57 900, which is
$1,253, $4,000 short of Morgenthau's
latest estimates, with only four days
to run.
The gross public debt on June 26
amounted to $33,950, 100000, with a
total of $2,931, 900, 900 remaining in the
general fund of the Treasury to meet
this indebtedness.
