cal boys proceeded too cautiously,
seemingly playing as If they were
afraid they would not do 1t right.
They were rigidity in their efforts
that was finally oiled up and spark
ed intermittently In the last half.
Walker, who played before, said.
TITS pretty hard to get used to a
new system" We believe that &C
counted for the absence Of ease in
their handling.
It's singular that foul shoot
ing was a negligible factor. Not
only were there few fouls, the
percentage of points gained by
the free route was minute
quantity. Tech was awarded 8
such shots, missed every one.
Sank Centre connected with two
out of =. Throughout three
quarters Kringen made the only
free shot, and Walker made the
second In the final frame.
Flash-There might have been a
second team game only the squad
had a little trouble along the way
Avery had to skin under the
bus to fix a fiat tire. In fact there
were two Of them Il wasn't the
other) ;. Met the st. Cloud report
ers up in the press box. So a hail
to them from this corner. Met r. A.
Lofstrom, the Times Upper, and
Appert, Sage Of the Sentinel. And
thanks boys for spotting for this
corner. Aside to Lofstrom: Thanks
for keeping track OF the shots when
this columnist,s eyes strayed around
the hall. Was talking with Jr. high
coach, Harold Rasmussen, and he
offered some dope on this basket
ball business. You can take it from
him, he played three years with
Joe Hutton,s Hamline cagers and
was with the outfit that boasted
Wally Zimmerman. He says basket
ball has got down to a science now
so that it's all figured out. Firm
stance, If an offensive player plays
perfect game theoretically, he
cannot be stopped from scoring.
And conversely if defensive play
er plays the game right, the often
sive man cannot possibly score.
Now it's a lucky thing that humans
instead of robots play the game.
Or there'd be sweet stallup about
mid floor that would go on for four
quarters and the game would end
in a goose egg. So it's the human
element, like everything else, that
makes it interesting. That's what
coaches have to do. Break down
the human in the boys, which Is
merely another way to say weak
ness, and perfect as closely as he
can a machine that will play the
game to the best of their ability.
The coach with the best machine
wins. Simple, isn't It!
Mice, Men, and M0Ose-Or
am 1 crazy? But 1 hate to leave
the untold tales of the north
woods slip by. But Joe Frank
was so doggone disguised, not
having had a shot all day in the
woods, that a mouse he spied in
the road excited his gaze. Shall
L blow you to bits" Joe said to
the little animal. But he spared
the little fellows life. But dog
gone he still didn't get shot :.
You might ask Sam Olson how
to blaze a trail in the woods.
Seemed he is quite experienced
in the ways Of woodland lore
now. Will perhaps open school
for those who wish to learn
The land of the Big Snow is the
title of Minnesota in the winter.
When cold settled down and the
SHOWS come, the Land of the Sky
Blue Water fades before our eyes.
Jerry Daniels brought back this
tidbit in regard to the deer season,
and it's probably partly an explana-
ton why there was shortage OF
deer this wear. Jerry says around
