Minneapolis, Jan. 12.-There Is
more interest in University of Min
nesota basketball this year than
there has been in many years. 1t is
not all enthusiastic interest. Some
of it is intensely critical interest.
This situation Is explained by
two facts. Coach Dave MacMillan's
record through nine years has plac-
ed him definitely on the spot. Stu
dents and alumni believe the time
has come when he must deliver or
retire. Consequently they are watch
ing his work with keen interest.
Secondly, the material and the style
of play the Gophers have revealed
this year indicate Macmillan has at
least a chance to confound his crit
les by delivering in a generous way.
His squad has as much speed as
any he had had at Minnesota and
it has more accurate and danger
Gus scorers than any Minnesota
squad in years. Moreover, the play
ing ability runs deeper than the
first five men. 1t runs down to the
fifth and sixth substitute, including
some sophomore lads who may de-
ve)op amazingly as the season adj
vances.
1t has been the contention of
MacMillan's supporters i. and he
has a good many that he knows
as much basketball as any coach in
the country, but that he had not
had the material capable of play
ing his style. Strangely enough
MacMillan's detractors say approx
inately the same thing, but they
put it this way: We'll grant he
knows basketball, but his style OF
play suits only a certain polished
type of material that is not usually
available at Minnesota. The point
is he can't change his style to suit
the normal type of material that
comes out of our high schools. So
let's get a coach with style that
will work right here"
You see, both sides agree Mac
MILAN knows basketball. He Is one
of the soundest defensive coaches
in the game and his scoring plays
are beautifully conceived. The crit
icism is that they require a dexter
ity of ball handling that can be
found only in the professional game
or at such universities as Indiana
and Purdue where prep school ma
terial is highly polished.
It is strange but true that Mac
MILAN has changed the style of
play in nearly every University in
the Conference. Other coaches have
adopted his ideas and have won
with them; but Macmillan, himself,
has not been able to win. In nine
years his teams have twice tied for
second place, but usually have fin
ished in the second division. The
record of his complete tenure has
not been good.
Now, however, at the time when
critisicm is sharpest he seems to
have had the good fortune to find
players of the type that fit his style

of play. They are fast and tricky
and many of them are deadly shots.
If he wins with this team his de-
tractors will continue to say, lit is
still true he doesn't belong at Min
nesota because, year in and year
out, Minnesota material can't play
that style of basketball. Why do we
have to wait ten years for the lucky
accident which assemblies squad
that happens to suit the coach?
Why not get a coaching style which
suits Minnesota material most of
the time. just as we have done in
football?
just the same, Macmillan will be
safe in his job If he does send a
strong squad through the Confer
ence race this year. It's hard ar
guing against success, while 1t Is in
the process of succeeding.
MacMillan's stronger supporters
assert, however, that the turning
point has been reached and that
this years team will be followed by
other strong teams, because the i'm
provement in high school basket
ball throughout the state is per
manent.

The seconds in their shooting
trailed the locals by very little.
Their team average was 20.8 in the
last game. Fish was high with so
percent, and Ethun followed with
1873. In foul shooting they fell
down a little ranking 1873. Deziel
counted so percent of his free
throws, and the rest of the boys
missed all of their gift shots.
Totals in games to date show
a lad, Donald Kringea, second
stringer, in the lead with high per-
centage for shooting. He's high man
over the varsity string as well. His
percentage for field shooting is 66.6
and his nearest competitors are
Fish and Bellinger with so percent
The varsity team average is 2O.5,
slightly lower than Mr.. Harvey be-
lieves should be normal. He sets
the norm at Is per cent. The sec
onds have made the grade with
team field average of 25.3. Arvig
and Reble rank low in the field
percentages. Arvig with 1913 and
Reble with 10.5. But both of these
boys have been shooting strong.
Arvig has taken total of GA shots,
some of the boys list here with
high percentages have taken as
low as 3 shots in the four games.
They'll connect one of these days.
While Bellinger ranks highest with
100 percent on free throws he has
had only one. Arvig with IL has
cracked 9 of those shots, and Reble
has taken out of II. Ethun has so
percent, and Kringen is in the 60
bracket again on gift shots. The
seconds are way low on free shoot
ing, missing the normal of 80 with
35.2. The varsity has not deviated
so far with 45.1.

wouldn't even shoot off his

1t was a lucky stroke when a
hurriedly scheduled game with st.
Johns Props led to a Sank Centre
victory. 1t gave the boys some
needed experience for the Tuesday
night tilt with Alexandria. And 1t
worked the Christmas candy out of
them. Leading over the Johnnies
IS to II at the close of the game,
the second win of the season was
chalked up for the locals. Harvey
affirmed that the boys are in good
shape, their shooting average has
gone up, and their passing and de-
fensive games are much improved.
In this matter of shooting
some quite complete records
are being kept by the team
managers. There they list the
points scored against each play
or denOting who is q bit slow on
defense. Listings are also kept
of number of shots taken, and
the position player is in when
taking shot, and how many he
converted. Averages are kept
for each game. Starting with a
team percentage of about IL
In the St Cloud game the lads
have stepped that average up to
more than Is per cent In the
recent st. Johns game. In fact
the actual team percentage was
1914. Walker. Hoffman, and
Brendon averaged 40 percent In
shots made from the field.
while Bellinger ranked high
man with a game percentage of
IS. Arvig ranked low in the last
game with 8.3. He took IL
pl0ps at the basket and for his
own amazement he connected
with one. He and Reble, led
with q 100 percent average ON
free throw tossing. Hoffman
took 30 percent, and Walker
1873. Free throw percentages
for the team ranked at 55.5.
Which Is better than average.

either Pittsburgh or Washington,
Bowl competitors. 1t was evident in
the first three or four minutes Of
the game that Pitt was keyed to
win, and that Washington was
dead on its feet" And the people
Of California were clamoring for
Minnesota instead of Pitt. In fact
the California press, Stub said, was
50 down on the Pitt crew that they
razzed Washington on their selec-
ton. The Bronx cheer eminating
from California was so rasping
that Phelan and his Washington
Huskies are still suffering from
ringing ears.

Assembly Memorial For
Horace Mann Centennial.

In keeping with the Horace Mann
Centennial, the Junior High School
presented an assembly program in the
Washington auditorium on Tuesday,
Nov. 9, of American Education Week
The superintendent, Mr.. Stanley Ad-
kinS, discussed a letter to school
children written in 1916, by Horace
Mann, in which character building was
stressed as one of the great aims of
education.
Other numbers of the program in
cluded several extracts from Horace
Mann's writings, given by Leonard Cor
don, Robert Abbanat, Bruce Carlson,
Andrew Spolarich, Thomas Murn, Jr.,
and Clarice Carlson.
Verse readings were rendered so that
the pattern, the meaning, and the mood
of the poems were given as if the group
were one voice. Thirty-six girls, guided
by Miss Fowler, read the selections
The girls glee club, under the direc-
ton of Miss Slogan, sang two numbers;
the boys glee club number was omitted
for lack of time, as was also, another
song by the girls glee club
We think that our educational and
social conditions are peculiar to our
times; that our problems are new and
different. Horace Mann, were he here
today would not find them so strange,
and how much in common he would
have with those who are struggling to
solve them!-A. J.F.

Minneapolis, Nov. 11-Alice BURROWS
Vogue's associate editor has been spend
ing the week in Minneapolis and she
has given me her view of the years
fashion picture. She believes black to
be of first Importance but not black
alone, rather black accented by a
touch of color such as a bit of blue or
red on the hat, Or better still, CHINA
mon brown. The combination of black
and brown is super smart this season
A plain black dress worn with spice
brown gloves and hat is high fashion
The dark and extremely simple basic
dress is fashion leader. If you have
any of grandmother's trinkets, do get
them out and wear them, especially if
they are gold. Heavy gold bracelets,
chains, rings and pins are worn with
everything from sweaters and skirts to
best bibs and fuckers. In New York
the women are wearing so much gold
jewelry they fairly clank as they walk.
Hosiery is similar in color, but
lighter than that worn last winter. An
amber gold shade is the most popular.
Suits go everywhere in pieces of two
or three. Suit fabrics are dressy and
smooth, or tweedy and British.
Sweaters and skirts worn with bright
and contrasting colored suede jackets
are extremely important. Sweaters and
skirts are not only meant for school
girls, but all women are wearing them
to their more youthful glory.

CanteIOupe Shell
Saves Man $500.

Luverne-Harold Jordahl, a local
man, has piece of canteloupe and the
United States Treasury department to
thank for saving him $4,000. Some time
ago Harold inadvertently set fire to a
wad OF currency and had it not been
for a piece of canteloupe, the s42O0
would have gone UP in smoke. The
charred bills have just been redeemed
by the treasury department The in
c1dent came about when one evening
Jordahl, who runs service station at
the edge of Luverne, left the place in
charge OF an attendant, cautioning rim
to put all money in the waste basket
when he closed up, instead of locking
1t in the cash register The station
had previously been looted and since
that time the owner had been hiding
money in secret places. When the
attendant locked up for the night he
did as he had been told, secreting $40
in currency in the waste basket. The
next morning Harold emptied the bas-
ket into the garbage can and set fire
to it. When the refuse was blazing
merrily, he suddenly thought of the
money. Hastily extinguishing the blaze
he found the bills at the bottom of the
can, partially covered with the shell
OF canteloupe. The bills were charred
one one end and where they had been
covered and few were reduced to
ashes. Jordahl cautiously recovered the
money and the ashes and took it to a
local bank, from where it was sent to
Washington.

Sees First Picture
of Father When as

Chaska-An experience which sounds
more like an excerpt fro a story book
than an actual happening was the lot
recently of local man, Ernest r.
Thomas, who at the age of 46 years,
learned for the first time how his
father had looked. Having been
brought up by foster parents, Thomas
did not learn to know his father, and
it was only last week that he saw the
first picture he had ever seen of him.
Mr.. Thomas father taught school in
Chaska 48 years ago. He and his wife
then moved to Saltwater, where Ernest
Thomas was born. When he was IA
months old his mother died and a
family in this community took the
child into its home. The elder Thomas
remarked and moved to another section
of the country. Thirty-four years ago
a Step-brother, Harry c. Thomas, ap-
peared in Chaska. He left, however,
and no one heard from him until few
weeks ago when he wrote to inquire
about his brother. Learning that he
lives here the out-of-town man wrote
a long letter about the family and en-
closed photograph of the father, who
died in 1925.
