Two Main Street offensives Fri
day night pulled tasty chestnuts out
OF the fire for Coach Toftness to
nibble on. and he discovered they
were edible.
The chestnut the second team
handed the coach was red hottie
handled it with gloves. II you think
the race across the Kansas line
back in the days when the boys
were opening the west was a
scramble, and II the melee that pre-
cedes at the mess table sometimes
gets you down, you haven't seen
anything. That Is If you didn't see
the seconds trim Willard to 26 to
II victory.
More easily to handle-without
the benefit Of gloves-and certainly
more digestible to coach's weak
stomach was the easy victory the
varsity squad snatched from q be-
wildered Swanville club % to 8.
Before q good opening crowd of
townsfoak and a whole host OF par
ents OF the boys who were on the
court in the two games, the loft
ness regulars held Swanville score
less while they rolled UP a ten
point lead, snuffed them OFF allow
ing only two field goals the entire
game. That just about tells the
story in offensive and defensive
work that the locals rolled up Fri
day night.
Singular was the game in another
instance. For it marked the first
time local fans have had chance
to see the new speedier brand Of
ball promoted by the elimination OF
the center jump. While 1t was con-
fusing to some OF the old timers
who knew the game when 1t was
generally hailed as being decided
step in the advancement OF basket
ball science.
Amid the steady slap of passes,
that constituted the greater part of
the local attack, it was Denny
Ethun who was the pacemaker for
local scoring. Lobbing in three
buckets on a peculiar cross court
play when he took the pass against
his line of flight, he stood as high
score man for the locals. To Con-
key, in the center slot, goes the dis
tinction of converting the first
bucket of tine game.
In the first quarter led by the
buckets scored by Carlson, Hoff-
man and Conkey the locals traipsed
into an 8 and then a 10 point lead.
And that before Swanville took a
single shot.
Somewhat weakened by gradua-
ton last year, Swanville team was
swept completely Off its feet during
that first quarter never to regain
its equilibrium. Right off the bat
the locals monopolized possession
OF the ball, settled into a steady
routine OF passing the ball in and
out threading like a shuttle, punct-
uring the defense of the Swans to

War In
War Clouds
DR.. Ingvoldstad Lectured On
War Probabilities To
Rotary Club
WILL SPEAK TONIGHT
Noted Lecturer To Be At Sen
ior High School
Assembly

In spite of widespread fears that
Europe will be plunged into an
other war, there are strong forces
at work to deter the allegedly in
evitable concourse OF events, Dr.
Fred w. Ingvoldstad. noted teacher,
editor, author, told members OF
Rotary Club Tuesday noon.
DR.. Involdstad, who travels ex-
tensively each year in Is nations,
is to appear in this city this even
ing, Thursday, in a second lecture.
He appears in this section under an
educational program sponsored by
the State Educational Committee OF
the FarmerILabor Party. Previously
scheduled to speak here last Friday
at the Community Club Rooms, DR..
Ingvoldstad will speak this even
ing in the senior high school as
sembly in the public school. With q
valuable background Of study in
human relations and on the inter
national scene, DR.. Ingvoldstad Is a
compelling speaker whose wide
spread experience leads him to
speak aptly on nearly forty differ
emit subjects. DR.. Ingvoldstad will
speak at $50 p. m.
Unprecedented piling up of
current incidents and unparalleled
military preparedness stack up IA
voring war in Europe on one hand;
but ON the other the undercurrents
OF European affairs and the human
revulsion toward another war are
powerful deterrents Of another
great war;" was the theme Of DR..
Ingvoldstag's talk to Rotary.
AS prime among his reasons TOR
no war in the war clouds Of Europe,
he pointed out that two years ago
everyone thought that war would
be a quick thrust, over with in 80
days. The Spanish civil war, dron-
ing on for two years, has disproved
that theory, and no European ma
ton can finance a war OF longer
Duration he said.
Many have pointed to Germany
as the possible aggressor in case
of war. DR.. Ingvoldstad expressed
the opinion that Germany, because
Of her financial distress, the bitter
ness of the prosecuted Christian
and Semitic groups toward Hitler,
would not dare to begin war. This
bitterness, he said, would lead to
civil war in a short time should
Germany be the aggressor. Despite
popular rumors Of a rift between
Germany and Russia the most pow
erful trade agreement that Ger
many has is with the Soviet Union,
and DR.. Ingvolstad said, 'They
love their customers"
Briefly stated he pointed out that
England could not be the aggressor
because Of the threat of Imperial
dissolution that faces them. Canada,
Australia, and India have all init
mated that they would not fight
European battles again. and the
failure Of the colonies to support
the Mother Country would slide
England, he said, to a 10th rate
power in sixteen months.
DR.. Ingvolstad referred con-
stantly to the young gang" in
Europe, who are looking with long,
ing eyes at the Scandinavia with
their 12S year record Of peace, and
who he said are psychologically less
attuned to war than at any time
during the last century.
~So nations" he concluded"
will continue thumbing their noses
at one another and sending notes.
but underneath there is no war in
the war clouds Of Europe"

I walk along the beach's white strand
thousand Zephyrs kiss my hand
And whispered longings speak to me
To hush this boist'rous swelling sea-
What ships are those by cloudland's port?
They hasten on to Genius court
Where passion laughs amid the spray
And LIES own ships must meet some day.
Up in the town the elm trees meet,
Above my head, along the street,
And bluebirds call me from above
The rush Of men to Mammon's love-
I can not know the hope that brings
The rainbow with its azure wings;
But this know. that hope must live
And to the worlds great voices give.

Come forth and dwell with the human kind;
Come forth and crown your ship Of rhyme,
And make each thought hope divine.
