Ouint has First Loss.


Seriously hampered by the loss of
their two tallest men, Sexton and
Breitbach, the Kerrick quint suffered
it's first loss when it was defeated by
Pine City at the Pine City armory
Friday night by a score of 26 to 80.
The absence of Breitbach, the six
foot-three center, who has been one
of the main cogs in the Kerrick ma
chine, lost the tip-off plays which
would have netted number of coun-
tiers, and gave Pine City a decided
advantage under the basket. Their
superior height proved of great bene-
fit in recovering the ball from the
blackboard. In spite of the handicap,
however, the local team put up good
scrap, holding the southern team down
throughout the entire game.
The tilt started off with Kerrick
looping the hoop for the first counter,
and from there on each team strove
hard, matching basket for basket,
with the Pine City quint leading at
the end of the first quarter II to 9
and by 10 to Is at the half. The
final whistle gave them the strong
end of a &c to 80 count.
This was Kerrick's first loss in 10
starts for the season. A return game
will probably be played at Kerrick
within a few weeks.

The amateur contest held at the
schoolhouse Friday evening was a
novel event and brought out some real
talent. The broadcasting outfit failed
to work as well as Major Bowes' but
on the whole it was a successful af-
fair. Mr.. Morrish of Hinckley, who
furnished the broadcasting facilities,
was so pleased with the voice of
Yvonne Lussenden that she is to go
to Hinckley for an addition in the
near future and will be heard by
scouts from WCCO and KSTP.

Potatoes are high and the demand
is good. 1t might be very wise to re-
member that in other years potatoes
went down after reaching satisfactory
prices. Some times it does not pay
to hold too long.
A veterinarian from Barnum has
been in the territory fixing horses
teeth. A large number were in need
Of treatment. Poor teeth do more
damage to horses than is generally
believed. Worms, also, should be
looked after. If these are not ex-
PEELED from the horse it will con-
sumo lots more feed and feed is too
high to waste.
