Grahek Retains Diue Title
at State Meet in Virginia

Winning the state high school boys
fancy diving title for the second con-
secutive year when he COPIED the
championship in the state meet held
at Virginia Saturday Joseph Grahek,
Ely, made it the fifth consecutive that
the title has been won by pupil of
Coach Max Herseth, local tank mentor.
In the state meet, Grahek success
fully defended the title honorS which
he won at Minneapolis last year by
scoring a point total of 1855 to top his
nearest rival, Carlson of Virginia, by
more than 16 points. Carlson scored
57O5 points in the event.
Leonard Klun, now diving for the
University of Minnesota tank squad
started the string of diving victories
for Coach Herseth and the Ely high
school when he copied the title in 1888
and followed with triumphS in 1884 and
1885, thereby hanging up record Of
three consecutive titles Grahek, a
freshman in 1885, took third place in
the state meet that year, but in 1886
took up where Klun left off and with
his 1887 title won Saturday, brought
the dive title to Ely for the fifth
straight year. With another year of
competition left, Grahek has a chance
to emulate Klun's triple title feat by
winning in 1888.

Virginia high school boys tank squad

the state swimming meet at Virginia

Drub Chisholm Jubileers to
Gain State Crown in
Finals Sunday.
ELY TEAMS STRONG
HaWkeyes Win Third With
Gophers Garnering the
Consolation Event.

Combining an accurate shooting at
tack with ball handling and passing
offense that completely bewildered their
opponents, the Ely Rangers, repreSen-
tativeS of Cyrille and MethodiuS Lodge
No. l, captured the Minnesota state
South Slavonic Catholic Union basket
ball championship by drubbing the
Chisholm JubileerS with a score of 38
to IA in the finals of the championship
play-offS here Sunday night.
The Rangers had things very much
their own way throughout the contest
setting the pace in the first quarter to
lead 7 to as the period closed and
continued in the second frame to hold
a II to 2 margin at halftime. A stiff
defense kept Chisholm from making
any serious offensive bid. Still domin-
ating the play in the third canto, the
champions continued in high gear to
run their advantage to % to going
into the last quarter. Chisholm came
through to score nine points in the
final canto when a team of substitutes
carried on for the Rangers.
Lawrence Golobich was the big punch
in the scoring attack of the Rangers
counting IA points but it was the all
around play of the entire quint which
made the scores possible. Ignatz
Musich led the Chisholm five, account
ing for half of his teams IA points.
The game was the second in one day
for the Rangers who defeated the Ely
HawkeyeS in the Semi-final round
played Sunday afternoon with a score
of % to 70. The Rangers Hawkeye
tilt was the best played contest of the
tournament with the winners held on
even terms through the first half but
coming through in the final period for
a twelve point advantage which was
protected through the final period
when the HawkeyeS made a serious
threat to overtake the Rangers.
In the first round games Saturday
night, the Rangers defeated the Ely
Arrowheads % to II; the Chisholm
Jubileers edged out the Ely Gophers in
a close game "a to 81, and the Ely
HawkeyeS won over the Gilbert Gill
Minis, 33 to 16. In the draw following
first round contests, Chisholm drew a
bye to go through the semi-final round
and into the championship bracket
against the winner of the Ranger
Hawkeye semi-final tilt.
In consolation games, the Ely Gophers
won two contests defeating the Gilbert
entry, AZ to 25, Sunday afternoon, and

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

Some people are big hearted;
work for the community; spend
their money for the benefit of
the town they are living in;
serve as heads for charitable
organizations to help others;
perform their duties faithfully
on committees of civic clubs;
cheerfully take unpaid jobs in
volving hard work which is
beneficial to all but the person
doing the work and a thousand
other things good American
is called on to do. Occasion
ally such community builders
are recognized with a testi-
monial such as badge or a
loving cup. Along comes a
chance for an appointment to
a position with enough salary
in it to exist and up pops some
politician with a pull in the
councils of the powers that be
and gets the job away from the
public spirited fellow who has
gone broke in his efforts to help
others.
One of the most fragrant
cases showing the thanklesness
of the general public, is the

Winslow, Ariz., April 6--(UP)- Searching parties struck out at dawn on the trail of 8 lost Douglas transport plane that vanished three days ago with eight persons aboard over the snow-banked Arizonia mountains. Hope waned as news of the mystery spread to isolated vest ern settlements and outposts and none could report clue. The search centered in this area because sey- eral persons believed they had seen the plane Saturday afternoon, fly ing low and of its route from Bur- bank, Calif., to Albuquerque. It was q new -motored ship, built for the Dutch KIM airlines and ei1route to New York via Albuquerque and Kansas City for shipment to Europe. Glen Moser, 90, chief pilot for Douglas Airlines, and Joe Wolfk, 32, co-pilot and navigator, were at the controls. They carried six pass engers; Mir. and Mrs. Merl Estey, q Douglas engineer and his wife: Mrs. D, B. Brunderlin, mother of 6 Douglas engineer; E. B. MoseF, 55, the pilots father; Bernard Tray, Santa Monica parking station Op- erator and George Kent.

Mc- Daniel. forest rangers wife. said she saw the plane headed in that direction. It circled five times over her cabin, she said. as if the pilot were groping for bearings.
 Airmen frankly believed the plane had crashed, probably to contribute the ninth aviation disaster in the United States in three months and raising the death toll in that time to 66. There was only slight hope that Pilot Moser had been able to land safely in some smooth stretch of ground where he was unable to communicate with headquarters. The plane carried no radio trans hitter and there are isolated places in this country that are removed by several days of travel from the nearest telephone because of snow.
 A large posse was organized at Epringeryille by Sheriff John Nunp and the men started toward the mountains at daybreak. Some rode burrows and all carried snow shoes. Here at Wilson, two Douglas sc0ut- ing planes were ready tu take oil Joining the search. The pilots searched yesterday to no avail.

With photographs and . thumbnail des scription of Irwin, all of the cityis 1900 detectives were told to cOri- centrate on the case to the exclu~ sion of all but essential duties.

 Valentine said that despite many reports of Irwin having been seen in various other cities in the east that he was certain the suspect still was within the New York city limits. The commissioner and other rank ing police heads charged the crime against Irwin, advancing as the mo- tive the fact that Miss Gedeon and her mother broke up a romance be- tween Irwin and Mrs. Kudner be- fore the latter married Joseph Kud- ner.
 The two women were Strangleds and Byrnes was stabbed to deeath.

 SESSION SPLIT


 Washington. April 6-( (UP) Dis agreement over establishment of an international 40-hosir week in the textile industry today split the world textile conference. Spokes- men for British mill owners and their government indicated they would vigorously oppose adopting recommendation for such q limita- ton. Japan already is committed against the proposal.
 It became apparent that the United States would lead the group advocating the shorter week. France, Belgium and possibly Sweden were expected to join forces in the movement.
 The subject was first introduced at yesterdays session in speeches by workers representatives. John Muir head, British government delegate, tried to smother the question but provoked a strong speech in favor of the 40-hour week by Emil Rieve, representative of U. s. workers.
