Twin Victory
By Two Sank
Centre Elves
Varsity Game Ended With
Score of 81 to ID
Seconds 26 to 10
End. CONFERENCE WIN
Both Teams Show Wonderful
Representatives To
Be District Threat

Like the old gang fights down at
the gas house, the ball game Fri
day evening was rough and
ready. Osakis was rough, and the
Harveymen were no angels-but
the Sank Centre lads were evident
ly the only team of the two ready,
for they handed the potato to Osa-
kis, q to IA.
A double header loss last week,
when Alexandria's two teams top
pied the Main Street quints, was
transformed into a Siamese twin
victory with the seconds paving the
way for the varsity. The seconds
paved the way-partly because they
played first and partly because of
the fact that they played superb
ly offensive type of ball. They
downed their Osakis rivals 26 to
10.
Leading all the way the Sank
Centre club displayed a magnifi-
cent offensive. Alert on the defen-
sive they stayed off Osakis' attacks
that might have told. Never once
did the Osakis quint approach a
score that might have swung them
into the lead in that rough ball
game. Osakis might have been able
to score better If they could make
baskets. Harsh, playing at center,
dashed out at the basket 16 times,
and connected only once for a
score. In all Osakis took forty
shots at the basket and converted
five of those for marked goals.
Considering that Osakis was on
their own floor, that fact displays
effectively that the defensive of
the local club was too much for
them and their shots were far out
on the court.
Arvig and Brendon were scoring
aces in this ball game. Together
they pooled II Of the u points with
Arvig taking 8 and Brendon taking
8 points. The boys hoisted their
shooting average considerably dur
ing this game to a percentage Of
25.6 for field goals, and 58.3 for
foul throws. This Is better than the
average. Brendon with three con-
nected out of five tries averaged
60 percent, and Arug converting 4
out Of IL counted 1913.
Fouling was rampant in this ball
game Of spills and thrills. Totals
that approach the figure Of the ma
tional debt chalk off the personal
fouls. On the local club Brendon
and Walker each fouled three
times, and on the Osakis club L.
Blume committed three. That this
ball game was real scrap for the
ball, the figure telling that the ball
was brought to jump 45 times por-
trays the story. Offensive maneuv-
ers were .hucked aside many times
by anxious players that tied up the
ball. But Extensively and defensive
ly the locals predominaceo wTtn IT.

Representatives of Stearns
County Unit Met With
REA Director
ABOUT 925 SICNERS
Number of Users and Whole
sale Rate Primary Fac
tor of Organization

Officers OF the SIeaIuS county
Cooperative Electric and members
of the Melrose Light and Power
Commission met with Boyd Fisch-
er, development engineer Of the
REA of Washington, at st. Paul on
Tuesday, january II. From the
electric cooperative ]. M. Miller, of
Sauk Centre, president, and George
Determan, Melrose, secretary, at
tended the conference. e. G. LEM
meier, county agent, was also pre-
sent. The Melrose Light and Power
Commission was represented by
Mr.. Hoffman, Mr.. Schlicht, and Mr..
Plmpl.
Mr.. Fischer met with the above
committee at the st. Francis Hotel
in st. Paul and the material was
reviewed for the rural electrified
ton project for Stearns county. He
was very we'll impressed with the
number Of users on the proposed
lines and made a statement that
the Stearns county project looked
like very feasible project and
would undoubtedly receive the ap-
prevail of his administration at
Washington when 1t is finally pre-
scented to them in a few days.
For the committee it was of con-
siderable interest to know just
what factors are considered by the
REA at Washington in passing on
a project for a county. It was, of
course, definitely known that the
number of users per mile and the
wholesale rate that Is charged for
the current are the primary fac
tors. In talking to the committee
Mr.. Fischer dug into the statistics
for Stearns county and .Mas--Mell
impressed with the fact that "a
per cent Of the income Of the far
mers of the county was from dairy
ing. This he felt was of considerable
advantage in making the project a
feasible one not only from the
standpoint of finding more users
for current on the farms but also
to enable regular payments of the
bills which the electric as
sociation will collect from its mem
bers. It was brought out in Mr..
Fischer's statistics that the average
farm income in the county is some
what over $500 per year, This Is
not as high as some of the south
ern Minnesota farms but he felt it
was ample to make it possible for
the various farmers to take advan-
tage of the rural Identification
program and for the electric asso-
citation to operate on a paying bas-
Is.
The wholesale cost of electric cur
rent, as offered by the city Of Mel
rose, was discussed by Mr.. Fischer
with the Melrose committee. While
REA expects a little lower rate
than that which the city Of Melrose
offered at that time he felt that the
figure presented was not far out of
line. At the present time more than
900 farmers of the county are sign
ell up to participate in this rural
identification program. AS time
goes on more will be added to this
When the project applica-
ton goes in in a few days there will
probably be about 925 Farmers on
the survey sheets required. In other
of Minnesota a large addi-
tional number were added after the
project was approved. This will
likewise probably happen in
Stearns county.

Local Team To Play
At Long Prairie Fri.
Game VIII BE Played Friday Even
ing-Swanville Here Next
Tuesday Eve.

Coach Gene Harvey's narauding
Main Streeters on Friday evening
Of this week will swoop into the
camp Of Coach Siminski's Long
Prairie squad and attempt to add
daurels to their district rating, and
to take another game from the
Prairie boys.
1t seems it's been something like
four or five years since a Long
Prairie outfit has tasted the sweet
nectar Of victory over the Centre
lads. And they have their claws out
for this game. Although the Long
Prairie team barely nosed out a
fighting Osakis outfit in an over
time period 26 to 24-an outfit that
the locals took easily enough-it is
not to be assumed that this game
Is a run away. Long Prairie has
most Of the men that played with
last years quint and who made the
going tough for the Streeters last
season.
On Tuesday evening Of next week
the lads from across the way,
Swanville, win invade the local ma
plewoods in the first local game
since the Alexandria classic. Swan
vile plays the locals only a single
game series because Of certain con-
ditions In the schedule, but those
Swans have a peculiar way Of hay
ing a tough ball team. For years
they have threatened the district
with their easy style of play, and
Tuesday nights bill should be in
teresting.
Probable lineups for the Long
Prairie-Sauk Centre tilt will in
clude for the former: Elver,
Adams, Huyink, Chyba, and Mar
tin; and for the locals: Walker, Re
BILE, Arvig, Brendon, and Hoffman.

This spring, if shipping conditions allow us to get our necessary materials in time, We plan to experiment with differ ent programs that will enable us to work all the year around, em- ploying a steady, rather than sea- sonal, crew.

URGES SALMON PACT BETWEEN

Memorial to Congress h. troduced, Washington
 State Legislature

OLYMPIA, Wash, Jan. Is. - State senator Kieron Reardon, of Snohomish County, has introduced in the State Legislature, memor- ial to Congress urging the Secretary of State to negotiate a salmon treaty with Japan to protect sal mon runs in Alaska.
 Fish constitutes a major DOT ton of the Japanese diet and they are going to get their fish in any way. even if they have to operate in the waters off the Alaska coast" said Senator Reardon. Continuing, he said: Already they have made surveys Of salmon runs in the Bris- tol Bay area. There is nothing to prevent them from fishing outside of the three mile limit unless some agreement is reached etween the United States and Japan. A heavy Japanese take would decimate the salmon in the Alaska area. It is to our interest as well as to Alaska that some sort of a pact be reached to protect the great industry
