Ely Young Man Makes
Journal Washington Trip

Walter Jones, son of Mr.. and Mrs
William Jones of 38 East Harvey street,
was among the 200 lucky Minneapolis
Journal carriers who were awarded
full weeks all-expense trip to Wash
ington, D. c., aboard a private train.
The youngsters left Minneapolis for
Washington, Monday night, Feb. %, on
board train all of their own, carrying
two diners and 10 private coaches.
Among the attendants provided by The
Journal to care for their well-being
were Is adult escorts and a trained
nurse, in addition to the full train
crew.
After Tuesday morning breakfast in
Chicago, the Journal party headed east
again and Wednesday morning were
housed in especially reserved rooms in
the beautiful Annapolis hotel
Almost everything of interest that
there is to see in the national capitol
was scheduled among the busy days
there. The Washington Monument,
Congress in Session, the White House.
Congressional Library, Lincoln Mem
orial, Arlington Cemetery, Bureau of
Engraving, Federal Bureau of Investi-
cation and even Mount Vernon were
on the list.
Wednesday and Thursday were one
continuous round of entertainment and
education for the Journal carrier from
Ely before he entrained again Friday
morning for the trip home.
According to available records, this
is one of the greatest carrier ventures
ever undertaken by an American news
paper, and Walter has asked The Miner
to express his appreciation to the folks
here who made this trip possible for
him. He returned the fore part of the
week and reports wonderful time with
new and interesting sights for every
day, going and coming, and the week

Virginia grabbed lead of II to be-
fore the first period closed but dropped
behind in the second canto as the local
team forged ahead on the brilliant play
of John Stukel, center, who scored 10
points during the first half Ely led 20
to Is at the half. The offense of the
locals failed to function in the last two
periods being good for only two points
in the third session which ended % to
% for Virginia. Virginia employed
stalling tactics in the session after they
had gained the lead with the Ely de-
fense laying back. The Greyhounds
tailed twelve points in the final heat
when they unleashed a fast scoring at
tack while Ely made one gift shot.
The play of John Stukel, Ely's all
conference center in 1886, was out
standing during the first half in which
he scored 10 points. He got two more
in the last period and held the opposing
center, Nelson, without field goal for
the entire game. Stukel was taken sick
in the dressing room between halves
and was not effective in scoring during
the last two periods. His play in the
game was outstanding as 1t has been
in other games this season, which
makes him the leading pivot man in
the conference and the probable choice
for center on the all-conference quint
