Starr Lost to
Cards for Tilt
at SleepyEye
2 NEW MEN LIKELY TO
SEE ACTION FRIDAY
AT SLEEPY EYE

Still beng fOuleQ by nara luck,
the Redwood Falls Cardinals this
week lost Noble Starr, regular
center, for their important game
with Sleepy Eye Friday night and
faced the possibility of losing
Clark Thomson to bring the list
of missing regulars for the con-
test to three, Russ Lauterbach
continuing to nurse a sprained
ankle.
Chicken poX called the four
fouls on Noble and while he is
not sick, he has that tell-tale rash
with which he broke out follow
ing a cold and Coach Earle Ober-
meyer was just getting accustom-
ed to the thought of a revamped
lineup when it was learned that
STAIRS roommate, as well as
teammate, Clark Thomson had to
be vaccinated and possibly wont
be in top form if allowed to play
at all
With Lauterbach also missing,
Obermeyer has Paffrath, ASleson
and FarVer as experienced men
and Ross LusSenhop who played
a good game al$LambertOn despite
ireXperience. Neale Serkland be-
came eligible with the new semes-
ter starting this week and he is
likely to break into the play at
once as a result of the casualties.
Fortunately, Sleepy Eye hasn't
the strong team of last season and
was rather reconciled to losing the
game as it has several until the
news of RedWood's bad turn of
luck reached the Indian camp.
Sleepy Eye lost to Marshall Il
to 18 at Sleepy Eye Tuesday night
and was beaten at New Ulm Fri
day night 25 to 18.
In what turned out to be a
rough and tumble battle, the Red
wood Falls Cardinals defeated
Lamberton at Lamberotn 20 to
16 Friday night. Playing without
the services of Russ Lauterbach,
veteran guard, throughout the
game and with Bobby Paffrath
missing in the last half, the
rest of the first team and the subs
made a surprising showing.
A direct reversal of last weeks
game, the contest was marked
with numerous fouls on both
sides, due partly to the small
floor. The Lambs counted first
with a gift shot by Ringstad,
fiashy forward and captain. Noble
Starr put Redwood ahead shortly
afterwards with two free throws.
Displaying classy team work,
the Cards ran the score to 9 to 5
at the end of the first quarter.
An Sin the hole" shot by Starr, a
pretty running shot directly I'M
derneath the ring by Asleson, a
one-handed overland shot by
Cagey Thomson and another free
throw by Starr made up the nine
counters while field goal and
two gift shots were all the Lam
berton team could garner.
The second quarter was all
Redwood's. Holding their oppon-
ents scoreless, the Cards succeed
ed in marking up eight points,
working the ball up and down
the floor with ease. They were
leading at half time IT'S.
Bobby Paffrath who had been
playing a heads-up game espe-
cially on defense was elected on
personals and Ross Lussenhop
went into the contest in his place
shortly after the second half
opened. A free throw by Rong-
stad and long goal by Meats
made the count 1873. Another
long shot by Rongstad found the
count ITO at the end of the
third quarter.
Rongstad's two baskets brought
the count to II and IA in few
seconds. Then Thomson dropped
in a free throw making it 1914.
Meats went out on personals at
this point and Van Duzee took
his place. Starr finished the scor-
ing for Redwood Falls by drop
ping in two gift shots and Roth,
Lamb center, finished the scoring
for the game with field goal
from the middle of the floor. Iver-
son, Lamberton guard, was put
out of the game on personals a
