293 Arrests For Game Violations In
October
October, with it's small game
seasons, saw 293 arrests for game
law violations, according to the
monthly report of Harry e. Speak
es, Director of Game and Fish.
Small game violations were in
the majority with 212 reported.
There were "a big game violation
arrests made, most Of them for
spotlighting deer and taking them
out Of season.
Twenty-one arrests were made
for having guns set up in their
cars, while six were for carrying
guns in game refugees. Illegal fish
ing, netting, taking fur bearing an
imals out of season, illegal trapping
and other miscellaneous charges
made up the remainder of the ar
rests.
Record Blast Rocks Mesaba Range
Mine
Thirty-five tons of dynamite in
one blast is what might be called
big Shot" Nearly four carloads of
the explosive recently loosened
about 10000 tons Of rock in the
Hill Annex mine near Calumet.
The shot was timed to the frac-
ton of a second, and every safety
precaution was taken to make it a
safe explosion. The tremendous pile
of rock, a small mountain in itself,
covered good ore that will be mined
next year.
The big blast came near the close
of 1896 operations, which marked
up a new record in shipments from
state owned mines. Nearly twelve
and q half million tons of ore were
produced in these mines this year
as compared with about eleven and
three-quarters million tons in 1929,
which was the highest until this
year, according to Ray Nolan, Dir
ector of Lands and Minerals.
While final shipping figures for
all Minnesota mines are not yet
available, the total for the state
may exceed that of 1929. The figure
will be very nearly the same, how
ever, with about so million tons
shipped.

TITS getting harder and harder
all the dme,~ II the comment
Of the boys. yet they seem TO
like IL.
Initial cuts have been made in
the squad with general exodus Of
all seniors with the exception Of
five. The reason? Toftness has an
eye to the future with an-ear to
the ground. He's building not alone
for this year but for the next and
the next. His hardest work this
year Is with the Juniors, and he's
doing 1t at the possible expense OF
forfeiting a better than average
season this year. We say possibly
because this younger team may de-
velop faster than anticipated and
turn in some really fine perform
ances this year.
The fact that the schedule, the
most ambitious offering in some
years, Is long may contribute to the
well being of this team. In this
manner. There are several non-con-
ference games with teams such as
st. Cloud, Benson, st. Johns early
in the season. These games will be
the indicator by which the coach
will map his future plans. Once
those plans are formulated and the
faults and weaknesses of the team
are discovered it may be an easier
development from this point on
There is the factor that the sched-
ule bursts upon the boys so soon
that for the first game or two they
will not be ready. The first game
comes on December Bird when the
crew goes to st. Cloud to play
Tech. Toftness frankly admits that
his squad may not be in readiness
for this first encounter. There has
been little or no work on defense
nor offense thus far save for the
practice game with Upsala. It takes
several weeks Of defensive drill

No May Baskets-That may not
be exactly according to Hoyle-no
baskets until May, but 1t conveys
the proper idea this corner wants
to get across. Under Coach loft
ness, basketball has undergone q
complete reversal of form. For two
weeks the squad has been working
at feverish pitch, faster and faster
goes that old apple, and they have
not taken a shot. It's a fact. The
baskets weren't even up. That Is
until last Saturday when the boys
went through a short scrimmage
practice featuring the defensive
angles Of the game. Toftness Is q
firm believer that winning basket
ball means handling the ball, fast
accurately, and timed properly
Shooting will follow once the bal
is wormed into position. It's 9
sound theory, too, and one that ev
cry coach strives for.
Thus far the entire practice
was pass, pivot and dribble,
with an occasional prayer toss
ed for good measure. The sharp
smack of passes ON bare hands
echoed about the gym for an
hour On end without q let up.
When q man gets tired and
slows up, he Is fastened along
by the sharp bark of the coach.
TOftness wants men who can 60
full thirty-two minutes Of full
speed gaming. TIN be the boys
who can handle the old apple
that will be out there for the
local high school this year.
