The Morris-Little Falls branch OF

some time on account of the heavy
snow fall. There has been an oc-
casional train from Little Falls to
Sauk Centre, but none going west
from here. Snow plows are working
east from Morris and west from
Little Falls. This Thursday morn
ing there was still drift about
twenty feet high and fifteen miles
long between Glenwood and Cyrus,
and to add to all this, the snow
plow and engine working out of
Morris tipped over just east of Cyr-
us.

SPORTS
Well, Harvs lads certainly show
ed Melrose where to get off. The
final gun found the score 18 to 13.
This score gives an unfair view of
the game. Not that we want to dis
count any credit from Melrose.
they were in there scrapping all
the time. The Main Streeters miss
ed an amazing number of in shots,
right under the net. These came
mostly in the first quarter, due
probably to over-anxiousnesS on the
part of the team. The boys stead
led down somewhat but were rath-
er lax on the matter of finding me
basket. Melrose Gagged only one
field goal in the first half, and
were held to very few for the rest
of the game. Ray Walker went out
on personals for the first time this
year. Although Red plays a slash
ing type Of game, he seldom goes
out on fouls. Buck" Brendon, who
averages three fouls a game, was
only called for one infraction. Late
In the fourth quarter, Pangburn,
substitute forward, Gagged honey
on a tip-in. Reble missed free
throw and he leaped high into the
atmosphere to pop the ball in. The
team displayed wonderful ball
handling and coordination. At
times, the passing was a bit erron-
eolls, but on the whole, the game
was well played from the Maroon
standpoint Also Friday eve, Little
Falls cagers took a fall from the
mighty Alexandrians, 20 to IL. AS
we play Little Falls later on, it will
be interesting to note the outcome,
as both teams have played Alex.
Little Falls has the better record,
but Harveys lads are known far
and wide as dope bucket upsetters.
Osakis comes here Friday night in
a conference engagement. Every
body should be out to watch the
Main Streeters go to town. So long!
COLLEGE REVIEW
This week the column will dis

is located in st. Peter, Minnesota
and is situated alongside the Min
nesota River thus giving a wonder
full view of the campus from the
river. There is an auditorium at
this school where many indoor
track fetes and basketball games
are held. For outside games there
is a large athletic field on which
gridiron fueds have been battled
out. There are many private homes
surrounding the college so that
any student who can not afford to
live at the dormitory can stay at
one of these homes.
There is just one hall for women
and that is johnson Hall. 1t Is
