Everytime the whistle blew, got
out my napkin. Thot It was sup
per time. Then discovered / was
at a basketball game. Doggone
football has me all crossed up.
Kringen stormed up to the basket
once and I gave him a first down.
49,. And say that cheering section
has gone jitterbug. The leaders are
out there truckin' and dom a shag

for standout cheer leader in recent
years: Billy Kaufman. =.

Here's one: In that Grey Eagle
game the first three pops at the
basket were buckets definitely. :.
Ethun and Brown were the two
lads who dumped two. And Grey
Eagles Eldred followed. (. In the
Upsala game, the regulars, tossed
something like % at the basket and
made two during the first half. :.
But no foolin' that Grey Eagle
team was as sweet little team as
I've seen from that hamlet. They
had polish and class that would do
well in a larger school. None
Of that willy-nilly stuff. They play
| ed good ball. Which all adds
up to the fact that these reserve
boys looked plenty sweet to drib-
BILE out "a to % victory. And
let me say that this was one of the
best opening games I've seen.
There's Ethun, Brown, Hildebrand,
Hunt, Sieben, Deziel-and If those
guys on the regulars get out of
whack-then they'll be able to step
into shoes that aren't too big. :.
I'll make this remark and
then duck the vegetables-if
this Sank Centre crew, MAIN
tanning its defense, can score
20 to 80 points In q game
they've tucked 1t away for fut-
ure reference. -.
This was apparent: That loft
ness this year wants a measure of
speed but he wants it done with
class. /. He's teaching them to
keep their eyes open for the breaks.
When they get one they're suppos-
ed to make the best of it quicker
than you can say: antidisestablish-
mentarianism-or if you prefer
oske WOW wow. -.
One factor was decidedly in
dicative of the maneuvering
genius of Coach Toftness. Right
In the middle of the fray his
teams-against both Grey Eag-
lie and Upsala-slipped from a
zone defense to man-to-man
counter offensive. :. And were
they crossed up-the opposition,
I mean. It's fact too that
the superior stamina Of the
TOfhess men - and greater
pOise-was a contributing fact
or In that Upsala game. -.
Let's look at that game. Here
was Upsala-a new team and small
but holding its own to the half
time. In fact leading 6 to s at the
half. !. . All this time the Sank
Centre attack had been moving in
many times. But perfectly abom-
Unable shooting stymied their eff
forts. But suddenly in the second
half Conkey, jackson, Pangburn,
Kringen, Deziel scored to run that
score to plenty points to win easily
by five buckets. .. There was Just
this much about it. The fact they
couldn't hit their shooting didn't
despair this Sank Centre crew.
They swung into their offensive
with deathly drives in the last half.
49,. They outlasted Upsala.
Captain C0nkey moved into
high scoring place in this game,
but II he'd connected on the
shots he missed the total would
have staggered even the present
administration. Gawge is a
nice ball handler. If he gets
that spin of the ball, he'll make
some buckets. ;. Kringen, I'd
say Offhand, showed most drive
In this opening game. One
Lad on that UpsaIa team looked
good. He's q sophomore, by
name Hagstrom, who wore the
number 10. He played a grand
defensive game at guard with
out committing a foul during
the entire game. He whack-
ed that ball time and again. -.

Good only for the games listed on
