Sank Centre Won
First In Tournament

for two buckets. The locals inched
their way to to lead over their
lesser rivals at half time 16 to 8.
Off to a numbering start the Har-
veymen, rated to take Deer Creek
with ease, turned IN an uninterest-
ing performance during the first
quarter. But with Walker, Arvig,
and Brendon taking turns on the
buckets the second quarter furnish
ed a few flashes of play that made
the local game look up. Arvig neat
ly hiked a dribble right out from
Andre, Deer Creek guard, nose to
swing around in a wide arc and
dribbling all the way go in short
for a flip shot. Some heat was reg
istered in this game.
Then came the slow come back
of the Deer Creek club as they held
the Main Streeters to three points
during the third period. Beard,
Chase, and Anderson put on a
burst that launched them into their
first offensive drive. They marched
to within three points of tying the
score when the third period final
stood at ID to Is.
Arvig proved he could make them
when the going was tough, and
sailed down the floor with the
whole pack in pursuit to score a
set up. He succeeded himself with
bucket to clinch a seven point
lead. Four free shots for Deer
Creek sneaked their score little
higher and bucket by Chase
closed their scoring at 81 points.
Walker and Arvig took turns on
the next four goals and first one
and then the other marched in to
score and brought the local Of
fensive to a halt at 81 points.
1t was plainly evident that both
Sank Centre and Alexandria were
not playing the type of ball OF
which they are capable. Alexandria
who have defeated Sank Centre
twice, once with no trouble at all,
found Long Prairie pretty tough
opposition for the first round
matches. Sank Centre, rated as one
of the best Of the tournament
teams, found that Deer Creek, I'M
seasoned and younger crew,
could make the road rocky. If
they're both on this evening there
will be a real ball game.
In spite of the fact that many be-
lieve that Alexandria and Sank
Centre will decide the district
champion in their game tonight, at
this writing Parkers Prairie Is to
be reckoned with. For one thing
they have the highest score of any
team in the district when they shot
81 points over Osakis though their
defensive is reported on the weak
order. And a feat Of Upsala Is worth
mentioning when they eliminated
Swanville in the sub-district meet.
Behind II to in the third quarter
they came back, cody, to subdue
Swanville % to 10.

Community Club
Acts On State Roads

The club voted to have a survey
of the city made by the Minnesota
State Fire Prevention Assn, for
the purpose of eliminating fire
hazards within the city, so that
lower insurance rates may be OBJ
tained. There is no monetary con-
sideration for this survey. 1T will
take in only the business places and
churches, and it is entirely volun-
tary on the part Of the insured to
permit the inspection, or not, as he
desires.
A resolution was passed request
ing Thos. Sullivan, w. o. p. Hills
dale and r. e. Hansen to erect
two story buildings on Main Street,

With this final win that the
boys needed desperately to break a
seasons tieup, the Harveymen
edged in front of their opponents
with a game count Of to 7. In
fifteen game schedule. Eleven of
these games were conference en-
counters and they won seven. Their
conference percentage as they go
into the district tournament this
week at Glenwood is 1886, while
their schedule percentage Is only
slightly over the half mark, .533.
Pinning his hopes for a strong
district showing on the outcome of
this final game with Glenwood
Coach Harvey could find no fault
with the first half encounter. Dash
ing in a sustained drive that ad-
vanced them far in front of their
opponents, the Harveymen dashed
their way to a to 8 lead at the
close of the first quarter. Glen
wood looked even worse in the sec
ond frame while the Harveymen
gained momentum. With Walker,

scoring they advanced their lead to

The same storm touched both Kent

WATER TAX CUT
BY TOWN BOARD
Council Makes Cut on First
SpigOt, Hydrant and Bath,
Effective July 1st
OTHER TOWN MATTERS

At a meeting of Smyrna Town
Council Friday evening it was
voted to reduce the water rent
rates on first spigot, hydrant and
bath. The hydrant, first spigot
was reduced from S1.88 to S1.50,
and bath from SLIP to S1.0O, eff
fective at the beginning OF the
next quarter, July /. Council gave
some discussion to the proposed re-
juvenation of the old power plant
to manufacture current for them
selves and already are receiving
propositions on new and modern
equipment. However, it seems
possible if they can get as low as
the lowest rates for outside service,
they may continue buying their
current at wholesale, provided of
course if they can be assured full
and sufficient service. The ques-
ton of extending Market street
thru to South street was also
brought up. If Council can get
State Highway or WPA (Federal)
aid, it will help materially on
Councils willingness to proceed
with the project. Smyrna Town
Council is considering running a
better sewer line from Thornley's
nainsook underwear factory and
will probably run it down Peterson
street to Union and by way of
Union street to connect with the
large main running down Com
merce street. This, it is figured,
will give a better fall and enable
Mr.. Thornley, to get the service he
has long needed.
