GOPHERS WIN CITY
BASKETBALL TITLE
F. Freshmen, Gopher Forward,
Clinches Title Game With
Italians on Nifty Shot.

The city basketball league was given
a story book climax Tuesday night in
the final game of the championship
playoffs when Frank Freshmen, Gopher
forward, uncorked last second, one
handed long shot to break 10-all
deadlock and give the Gophers the city
championship in II to 10 victory over
the Italians.
Preshiren's winning goal was made
just seconds before the final gun and
was one Of those typical desperate last
second tries made in an attempt to
garner the winning goal. The success
of his shot as the ball swished through
the net left the players of both teams
and the large crowd in state of as
founded surprise as the game ended be-
fore another play could be started
1t was the best game seen in the
league this season with both teams
stressing defensive play which held
scoring at a minimum. The Gophers
started out to hold a 5 to lead at the
close of the first period but fell be-

came up to take an edge of to 6 al
the half. Each team scored one free
throw in the third stanza with the
Italians hanging on to their slim one
point margin with a score of 8 to
going into the Ilnal heat. With the
score tied at 10 all, Preshiren's last
second shot ended the game just wher
it seemed that an overtime period OF
play to decide the champion was newt
able.
Freshmen was the high scorer of the
game with six points. Frank Glavan
team mate got four points and Ed
ward Porthan led the Italians with q
similar count.
In the preliminary round of the play
offs Monday evening, the Italians
downed the Rangers, 80 to 20, and the
Gophers took the measure of the Hawk
eyes, II to 81. The Italians were fav-
orites to cop the play-off series anc
win the city championship by reason
of having finished at the top Of the
leagues schedule of play in which they
won twelve games and lost two. The
Hawkeyes finished second with clever
victories as against three defeats anc
the Gophers tied for third place with
the Rangers, each having won nine
contests and lost five.

Timely warnings and appeals may
not always be needed. They should be.
1t is much better to do that than to
later on play on sympathy.
A workman invites trouble by ignor-
ing nail protruding out of board
He steps on the nail, gets serious in
lection and is laid up in a hospital for
a long time.
/ Instead of sympathizing with him and
sending him flowers and otherwise
Showing our feelings, it would be much
better to write him brief note calling
attention to his carelessneSs.
This might not be such a gracious
gesture, but it is a very practical one
Let him think about his careleSsness
while he is lying on a cot in a hospital
and meditating the loss of time and
money.
Less sympathy-more practical COM
mon sense.

Duluth Herald Governor Elmer A.
Benson is lobbying in favor of an anti
lobbying bill. This is well enough if
its effect will be to put an end to
corrupt lobbying, if such there be. But
usually anti-lobbying bills amount to
little because of the many exceptions
deemed proper and necessary. Under
all American law, the right of petition
has always been revered and upheld.
Hence such bills must respect that right
There is, to be sure, a way to put an
end ito corrupt lobbying and that is to
elect citizens to the legislature who are
incorruptible. But all laws which the
governor may think of will never
change corrupt legislators to honest
ones.
There is proposed a registration law
for lobbyists. That is well enough.
There will be book somewhere in the
state capitol where all those intending
to argue for or against bill must in
scribe their names. It is so easy that
no one should object.
The governor is a Farmer-Laborite
Will the clubs of his party in country
or city have right to send delegates
to st. Paul to promote or object to
legislation? And if these have such a
right, how deny that right to Demo-
Gratis? And if Farmer-Laborites and
Democrats have the right, how deny it
to Republicans? If lobbying is to be
abolished utterly, will not freedom of
speech and petition be interfered with?
Are there not laws in plenty now max
ing any legislative corruption felony?
Why not enforce such laws?

WHAT OTHERS SAY

Murray County Herald-A man in a
Minnesota city sent away from his
home town to have his daughters we'd
ding invitations printed. He then took
a column story of the event to the local
editor. The editor published it. After
publication the man wanted hundred
copies to mail to his friends. The edi-
tor told him he could get them for five
dollars The citizen made great kick.
81 always thought you were my friend"
he said. The editor asked him: did
the caterer furnish the dinner free just
because you and he were great friends?"
That is commonplace occurrence.
No one expects the grocer to give away
his cabbages and flour, or the furniture
man to give away his couches. But
everybody apparently expects the poor
editor to give away his stock in trade,
the one thing he has to live by. It's
a strange world. Maybe the editor is
to blame by so often falling for the
plea of ''be home booster" playing
the sucker act for those who never
boost the home town.

COMMUNICATED
Notice to All Truck Drivers and Other
Personnel Driving Automobiles:
Portage River Camp F-8,

Ely, Mimi, Feb. "a, 1881.
In the past several weeks numerous
deer have been injured on and near the
Ely-Buyck road. In several instances
the injuries were caused by the deer at
tempting to get out of the way OF fast
moving automobile or truck. Due to
the slippery condition of the road the
deer, in running at a fast rate OF speed,
slip or either hit a rock or other OBJ
struction in jumping off the road, re-
sulting in broken leg or other injury.
In order that our conservation policy
can be adhered to, it will be greatly ap-
preciated if everyone who drives on this
road give the deer as much conSidera-
ton as possible. Anyone encountering
deer while driving an automobile or
truck should decrease his speed and
stop if necessary, in order that deer may
have good footing in getting off the
road. A few minutes lost may save the
lives of numerous deer.
The deep snow and scarcity Of food
has proved a great handicap to the
deer and in order that this may be COM
penSated for in some degree every con-
sideration should be given them when
they are encountered on the road.
It will be considered our duty to in
form drivers who are not aware of this
condition at every possible chance.

Consecutive Victory.

Joseph Pryatel, Ely, gained another
first place in ski jumping Sunday when
he beat out classy field of riders at

straight tournament victory and right
fully stamps him as the peer of Glass
B riders in the Arrowhead. He has
won first honors in his division in

meets he has also made the longest
standing Jump in his division and has
been the most graceful rider in his
class.
