SPORTS
One game lost and one game
won is the data on the basketball
season SO far. Travelling to st.
Cloud the local high school team
lost by an eight point margin /;
staying at home for the second
game the team won by fourteen
points. st. Cloud met Minneapolis
West in their second game Of the
season and won by only ten point
margin. Melrose, whom we meet
after Christmas, has been unde-
feated SO far this season. Benson
has had a fair year and Glenwood
has won majority Of their games.
Do you know what Americas ia
vorite sport is? Nope, your wrong.
It's basketball. Attendance records
show that more Americans witness
basketball than they do football or
even baseball. The high number of
different basketball teams account
for this.
Coach Toftness has ten men, call
ed the first team-or the A-squad,
out of which combinations Of any
five can be used for starting
teams. Each one is drilled and
whipped into first class playing
shape so that not one OF the ten
will show a deficiency when he is
called upon to take his part in that
particular combination. This way
there is always someone to substi-
tute without the fear Of breaking
up a Clicking" quint.
The team showed great improve
ment over the game with st. Cloud
Tech in the game with Swanville;
but Toftness Is not yet satisfied and
Justly so. Because Swanville did not
represent the type Of better teams
that the high school is to meet be-
fore the end OF the basketball sea-
son.
Am the basketball clashes this
year will be low score games. They
will display a highly defensive sort
Of play with snappy, accurate pass
es. This is the new system OF the
new coach, which he accentuates
with his favorite, barking order,
Move IT,!
I speak for many Of the young
people Of this community. We want
to heartily thank those responsible
for the excellent skating rink at
forded us this year. Heavy SHOWS,
excessive cold and the lack OF a
proper rink hindered skating in the
past years. Skating, popular win
ter sport, will share the spotlight
here in Sank Centre along with the
high school athletics.
I'd like to be the government
over 100000 fans witnessed one
football game last season; over
hundreds OF thousands of fans
went to all the football games; 3d.
600 fans saw the battle for high
school championship Of Chicago;
unnumbered fans will see the var
ious Bowls classics before and on
January 1st, 1888. Just think of all
the taxes the government will col
lect on just these events.
George Conkey, center on the To-
cal basketball team, Is a potential
22nd district star. If he improves
rather than declines. He Is an easy
style ball handler and man In
whom Coach Toftness has placed
many hopes. Donnie Egan is fast
and a man who can make basket
fairly often but is a little short.
Donald Kringen, when he improves
his passes will be known as a
steady.
I have made q prediction that
many do not agree with. admit
that It may be a bit far-fetched but
then it is still logical. My predic-
ton: Sank Centre will be District
% winners in 1888. (I1l warrant
you that my forecast will be true
within a very few points.)
THIS AND THAT ABOUT
SENIOR HIGH,
A group Of Junior and Senior
high students have been organized
into a cheering section under the
supervision Of Miss Wilson and Mr..
Olson. The group has met several
times the past week and several
new yeals have been planned, while
many of the old yells have been i'm
proved upon. This Is a new way to
cheer the boys on, and we hope 1t
will help the boys fight and bring
in the scores.
A pep band is also being organ
lied to furnish entertainment dur
ing the halves.
