Walnut Grove nosed out Delhi

Franklin 33 to II in the finals Of
the subdistrict tournament Satur-
day evening at the Lincoln school
gym, winning the championships
of brackets A and B respectively
and the right to compete in the
district tournament at Springfield
starting today.
Delhi, playing its third game in
as many nights, looked haggard as
it went up against the Walnut
Grove five in. the first game. Civ
en- far more scoring opportunities,
they failed consistently to find the
hoop.
Masterson, fast Walnut forward
scored first and Marsh, Delhi
guard, knotted the score with two
gift shots only to have the Grove
boys take the lead which they
never relinquished. Walnut led at
half-time, 10-7.
Both teams scored FIVE markers
in the third frame and the last
quarter was practically scoreless,
Walnut garnering but one free
throw and Delhi, two free losses.
No score was made in the last six
minutes of play.
Masterson and Egge, Walnut
forwards, each scored five points
while Vogland of Delhi was high
point man with eight.

More Funds For
Transient Camp

The New Ulm transient camp,
abandoned recently and then re-
occupied, has received still anoth-
er lease on life. Additional ap-
preparations assure continuance of
the camp until April 80, according
to camp officials.
Word from area headquarters
at Omaha, Nebraska, indicates
that more funds will be supplied,
so that the camp may possibly be
maintained until June 80.
More than 40 men are now
employed by the national park
service on the Cottonwood lake
dam. OF these, 35 are New Ulm
residents, while the others are
members of the transient camp.

Gaylord had an easy time win
ming from Franklin.
The first quarter was closely
fought ending with the score tied
at four. Gaylord forged ahead to
command a five point lead at
half-time and held the Franklin
boys scoreless in the third period
while they garnered eight points
making the score 81 to 8 as the
final stanza started. The last
quarter was again all Gaylords
making IL points while holding
the Franklin lads to three. Gay
lord employed very effectively
zone defense which proved i'm
pregnable to the Renville county
team. Tom McGraw and Fred
Thiede were the stars on the Sib-
ley county team and Zachow was
"hot'' on shots in the last half, to
lead his teams scoring with five
field goals and three free shots
For the losers, Arnie Ryland was
the outstanding player because of
clever handling of the ball while
R. Johnson was high point man
with six, followed by Ryland with
five.

DELHI ELIMINATES
WINTHROP QUINT

Delhi, proving the sensation of
the tournament, came through to
defeat Winthrop in the second
game by IL points. Play in the
first half was very close. Winth-
rop led in the first minute of play
4 to 0 but Vogland tied the count
with two neat baskets. The count
was knotted again at six, as the
first quarter ended. In the sec
ond quarter each team made a
free toss to again tie the score at
seven, but another free shot by R.
Siegfried, who also made field
goal, placed Delhi in the lead 10

Making Is points in the last
half to Winthrop's 10, Delhi out
played and outfought the boys
from the east to gradually pull
ahead. Vogland starred again for
the victors with his f1ashy floor
work ard accurate eye, making
three field goals to tie his team
mates Chroup and Starr with six
points each. Marsh's guarding
stood out.

the third game Friday evening.
Holding Morton scoreless the
first five minutes and making a

team got off to a good lead only
to have Bidinger drop through
two goals. The second quarter
found the count knotted at six

time IL to 10.
In the third frame, the score

score was knotted at 20 and again

Browning put Franklin ahead

Jorges, still fighting his heart out,
came through in the closing Sec
onds with a bucket to miss VIC
tory by two mighty points as the
gun sounded.
For the winners, Silas Larson,
lanky forward and Arne Ryland,
were outstanding. Larson was
high point man with nine points
while Ryland played a whale"

points.
Jorges was again the class of

Coaches Capture
Tourney Tickets
in Guess Contest

only four OF Il persons submit
ting gueSSeS on the outcome of
the sub-diStrict basketball tour
nament here last week picked
Walnut Grove as the "a" bracket
winner while only two foresaw
Gayiord'S ability to come through
in the CD" bracket.
TopheaVy favorite, on the basis
of contest predictions, was Echo,
the team which Gaylord elimin-
ated the first round. Gaylord and
Echo were undoubtedly two of
the best in the meet.
Every team entered except Wa
basso was chosen by one or more
OF the guessers as a bracket win
ner. Thirteen named Echo,
eight favored Winthrop (also
beaten in the first round), five
liked Delhi, three chose Morton
while Franklin, Morgan and Bel
view had two votes and one
picked Gibbon, defending champ.
Earle Obermeyer, coach of the
Redwood Falls team, had the best
record of the entrants. His score
was SO while E. " Miller, also of
the faculty here, was second with
70. o. A. Knudson had 30, Bill
Inglis IS and Dale Byram, who
had splendid chance the first
day but fell down on later esti-
mates of scores, finished with sc.
Other scores ranged to 141, scor-
ed by comparing suggested scores
with actual results.
The distinction of being the
only person among the 81 en-
trants who picked both Gaylord
and Walnut to win goes to Floyd
Routhe, who missed winning one
of the district tourney ticket
prizes by wide margin because
his guesseS on the first and second
round winners, other than the
champions, were wide OF the
mark. His score was 1O5.

70 ATHLETES COMPETE
FOR PLACES ON
MYTHICAL

Players from five of the II
teams which competed in the SUBJ
district basketball tournament
here last weekend earned berths
on the all-tourney team selected
by the Gazette with the help of
several fans and two other teams
placed men on the second combin-
alton. Gaylord, Delhi and Walnut
Grove each have two men among
the two all-star aggregations.
Picking ten stars from list of
70 ambitious youngsters who gave
their best for the old school in
tournament play is precarious
occupation and the margin be-
tween a player who landed and
one who almost made the selec-
ton is often SO close as to require
considerable head-scratching be-
fore a decision is made. Some
players looked brilliant in one
game and then slid back to OBJ
security as teammates and oppon-
entS took the limelight The fact
that the champion teams did not
meet either in the tourney or dur
ing the season made the task
more difficult as one could only
guess as to the outcome if the
fiashy Gaylord five were matched
with the less snowy but effective
Walnut Grove aggregation.
Here are the two high scoring
all-tourney aggregations who
would be joy to any coach:
FIRST TEAM
Fred Thiede, Gaylord, forward.
John vogIund, Delhi, forward.
Duane Syverud, Echo, center.
Henry Jorges, Morton, guard. ,
Austin MaSterson, Walnut Grove.
guard.
SECOND TEAM
Martin Zachow, Gaylord, forward.
G. Olson, Walnut Grove, forward.
Sam Wittwer, Wabasso, celter.

die Allen, Morton; John McGraw,

lord; Donald Hunerberg, Gibbon;
Virgil Dahrnes, Wabasso; Walter |
Grundemann, Morgan; Arnie Ry- |
land, Franklin; Silas Larson,
Franklin; Lester Kamholz, Nor
gan.
Martin Zachow of Gaylord was
high point man for the tourney
with 20 points and his team-mate
Fred Thiede was right on his |
heels with 10. Thiede played con-
sistent ball during the two games
in which the Sibley county lads
took part and by his floor game |
earned place on the honor roll.

Cards Battle
Springfield in
First Round
LAMBERTON TO MEET
SLEEPY EYE IN
SAME BRACKET

Redwood Falls High school Gag.
ers will launch their campaign to.
recover the district ten basketball
crown tonight at 9 p. m. in the
school gym at Springfield.
Their game will be the third on
the evenings program which be-
gins with the Gaylord Ulm
game at z p. I'M. and is followed by
the Walnut Grove-Fairfax con-
test. The first evening round will
be concluded in the fourth game
which matches Lamberton and
Sleepy Eye.
Redwood Falls and New Ulm
are generally favored as finalists
but at least three other teams in
the meet rank better than dark
horses and the remaining three
might come through if they sud-
denly got hot on shots while their
opponent struck an off night.
Gaylord Strong
Easily the class of the sub-dis-
trict meet, Gaylord is looked to as
a possible upsetter of New Ulm,
in which case it would be likely
to reach the finals. Fans who re-
member the Gaylord team Of a
decade ago, which won the dis
trict, regional and state meets and
then went to the quarter-finals in
the national at Chicago, see a re-
semblance to that aggregation in
the 1887 quint which has height
speed and drive as well as several
accurate shots.
New Ulm copied the Little Ten
title by defeating Sleepy Eye Is to
Ia Friday night and has record
of ten wins in IL games. The one
beating was administered by Red
wood Falls here during January,
afterwhich New Ulm beat a Grip
pied Cardinal team there.
That defeat was Redwood's
sole loss within the district where
it played also Lamberton, Morton,
Sprir gfield and Sleepy Eye. Red
wood lost, however, to Marshall
and Tracy in Little Ten engage
ments.
Springfield Wins
Springfield defeated Lamberton
at Springfield Friday night "a to
Is which indicates they are in
form for the Redwood encounter.
Both Lamberton and Springfield
have had up and down seasons
but should they strike "up" nights
the rest of this week, they are
dangerous foes.
Sleepy Eyes championship
team of last year largely disband-
ed with the distribution Of diplo-
mas last spring and the 1897 edi-
ton has been more or less kicked
around all season. Perhaps its
hardest blow was two defeats by
Fairfax which this year has de-
veloped a better team than usual.
Fairfax will be favored over WAL
nut Grove, the team which upset
tourney dope by beat
ing Wabasso and then Delhi af-
ter drawing first round bye. ,
New in basketball this year, the
Grove boys have attained
a surprising efficiency in game
which takes years of development.
With tourney experience gained
asst week, the Walnut team may
ret have surprises in store for op-
oonents.
The Redwood Falls team will be
1T full strength although Russ
.auterbach is still having ankle
hold-over from foot
ball season. Captain Clark "Ca-
icy" Thomson, Lauterbach, Noble
Starr, Bob Paffrath, Paul Asleson,
Harvey Farver, Neale Serkland
md Ross Lussenhop are the eight
nen who will carry the Cardinal
,anner to the meet.
