There was little to excite fans In
the first round matches Tuesday
evening of the District % basket
ball tournament held in Glenwood's
new spacious gym when Long
Prairie were sent hurting over the
boards of elimination and Sank
Centre and Alexandria went on to
meet each other in second round
contests tonight, Thursday. Sank
Centre dominated a Deer Creek
club to win 81 to q, and Alexandria
battled it out with a scrappy Long
Prairie crew % to II.
Many are agreed that the pair
ing of Alexandria and Sank Centre
by reason Of the fact Of their first
round victories, in the second
round of the District tourney to-
night, Thursday, will put the finger
on the district champ. Touted the
strongest teams in the district,
these two, meeting twice before
with Alexandria winner both times,
will battle at Glenwood, the seat Of
the tourney, beginning at 8 o'clock.
It is the consensus of opinion of
fans who travelled to the tourna-
ment seat that Alexandria and
Sank Centre made rather pathetic
efforts in humbling two of the les
ser lights in the first round
matches.
Fans who followed their respect
i've teams from both Alexandria ant
Sank Centre had already struck uI
, private feud and will give ful

followers were ardent in their sup
port of Long Prairie Tuesday even
