SPORTS

CroSby-lronton did not have the
excellent ball-handling team which
is usually the chief characteristic
Of a good ball club and a regional
winner. They beat Mcorhead only
after a last minute scoring streak
which was a bit Of luck in itself.
The score was 21-all with min
utes to go when Crosby's stocky
guard sank two long shots to put
them on the winning path. Moor
head kept the score tied or within
enc basket all during the game and
had slight edge, 1918, at the third
quarter. Both teams were on an
even basis but Moorhead had a
much better ball-handling and pass
ing team and out-shined Crosby in
this line. So Crosby beat Moorhead
in score only.
My choice for the state tourna-
ment winner this week would eth
er be Virginia, Thief River Falls,
or Luverne. OF course my predic-
ton of last week was blasted to
nothingness in the Region 6 tour
nament But did say that Crosby
Ironton would not run away with
any team which they didn't do. AL
SO out of all the region winners
missed only two. And I apologize
for being so sure of Sank Centres
winning.
There's a bit of a story connect
ed with this big Martin, Crosh!
guard. He is just big moose of a
fellow, muscles and all that sort of
stuff. Their coach-who is not
mite CT a man-and Martin got in
to difference of opinion at a prac-
tice session one night. They say 1t
took the coach As minutes to sun
due the big fellow. The integrity OF
the statement should not be promp-
ted by me. guess that is the way
they have to handle these big guys
up there.
In the afternoon of Saturday last
week up at Morris the coaches,
principals, superintendents and
other officials held q conference to
discuss the tournament, etc. They
decided to pick an all-regional
team. That night when the final
team came out four Crosby-Ircnton
men and one Breckenridge man
made the LIST team. It seems that
both the Sank Centre and Brecken-
ridge coaches pickings did not
count. Four Crosby guys couldn't
make a regional team if this was
the worst region in the state, when
there are good. Moorhead men to
use.
At this conference the men, of
course, talked mostly about the in
dividual playing and showing Of
the teams and players. Mr.. loft
ness was much flattered by the
compliments he received on the
playing of Ray Walker. This is not
surprising. Ray made most of the
district teams picked by the lex
perts" at the high school.
Both Ray Walker and Rich Hoff-
man bow out of the basketball pic
ture through graduation. Their
playing and positions on the team
will be missed. But next year We
old graduation will take away sew
en- of the first ten men beside sew
eral Of the scrubs.
Baseball is in the air and so Is
spring. 1t won't be long before reg
ular practice will commence. Bud
Soltau will be back to operate on
the mound for Sank Centre. Most
of last years players are back and
state their willingness to play.
Baseball was started anew in the
high school last year. The first ses-
son was disappointing but this year
will show much Improvement.

Missing Chickens
Traced to PredatOr

Worthington-The disappearance of
chickens from the Tom Willis farm
from time to time has long been a
mystery but has just been solved. For
sometime Mr.. Willis suspected one of
his dogs of being the thief. Recently
he spotted an animal in the yard and
realized it was wild life on the prowl
instead of his dog. A long range blast
from his ancient shotgun wounded it in
a fore-leg and the crippled wolf dis
appeared in a patch Of brush. Ollie
Greenwood, climbed a windmill tower
hastily and from that perch he followed
the VOLTS course through the brush
signalling to Willis who fired at short
range and dropped the animal. One
hind leg showed evidence of a bullet
nick of several years standing.

viewer feels it? How about a pic

frozen-over water trough? Icicle'
hanging from a faucet or pump
spout? Frost on the kitchen window
pane? Passersby, bending into tn
wind, snuggled deep into the collar
of their overcoats? Someone sea-
tering cinders on an icy pavement
A small boy, rubbing his frosty care
with mittened hands? An old aute-
mobile with radiator spoutins
steam? A stretch Of open countrs
with snow clouds dark above ft'
These are good pictures-they tel
the story of winter.
Again, indoors. Warm pictures, to
contrast with the cold outside. Have
you tried Preside pictures? Pictures
of the family toasting marshmal-
lows, or telling stories before the
fire? Reading, under the warm glow
of a lamp? These are good-and
easy to make, with fast X-type film
and two or three photo bulbs.
Pictures such as these are inter
esting because they tell a story
They have something to say" And
they are the snapshots you should
be getting now.

1899 is just before us. Many people
who started out in 1888, who paid little
attention to their driving habits or were
reckless and careless in their conduct
on the highways, were unable to see
the end of '38.
Do not let this happen to you in
1889. Face the year with the deter
mined effort to drive safely, to drive
carefully, and to drive courteously.
A resolution such as this will not only
stimulate your own interest in safe
driving, but will be an example to your
associates and friends.
Make 1899 the safest year!

NOTED WRITER
TELLS OF ELY
Guy Housley, Sports Writer
of Chicago Daily News Tells
of Canoe Trails.

Guy HouSley, sports writer on the
Chicago Daily News, who spent several
days heer last summer on vacation
visit with Peter Beck at Eagles Nest
and other lakes, took occasion to write
seevral articles to his paper in which he
paid many compliments to Ely. In one
of his articles he said:
ely, prosperous iron range city, is
headquarters for wilderness outfitterS
and the jumping off place into the vast
ness of the wildS that surround it. OF
course there are scores of lodges and
cabin towns in which vacationiStS gam
Dol, but the dyed-in-the- wool tourist
is forsaking these for the canoe trails.
Ely marks the starting place for the
last faStnesS in which real canoeing
can be enjoyed in the United States.
There are other places Of course where
river floats are possible and where a
chain of lakes forms links over which
canoeiSts may travel at leisure. But
about Ely are wide open spaces where
the canoeist is not restricted to eStab-
lished routes. With good woodsman-
pass route he may travel at will.
In the vicinity of Ely alone are some
500 navigable lakes, while stretching
across the borders into Canada are
thousand smore. The country is of pre-
Cambrian origin, very much like Lake
of the Woods, Canada, except that the
glaciers covered it once molten rocks
with a deeper carpet of silt.
The beautiful little city, situated on
hills overlooking chains of lakes, IS one
of the headquarters for hay fever SUI
ferers and for that reason early fall and
late summer find the tourist population
doubled.
/ The fish in its lakes, too, are at
tractive. The ever present great nor
thern pike forms the backbone Of the
finney population, but each lake has its
individual lure. For instance, pound
blue gills were found in Lake Everett
yesterday. They are q rarity in this
country.
Backing up the great northerns, too
are wan-eyed pike (pike perch), which
are second to no fish when filleted TO.
the table. Many of the lakes contain
bass. The bass of the vicinity are o.
the large mouth or Yarmouth varieties
This is probably due to early paintings
For instance, south and east Of here
small mouth bass are native and il
the north smallmouth have obtained :
good stand through paintings. How
ever, most of the bass lakes of Mime
sofa contain large mouth fighters.
