.BELVIEW, OILERS
I'm CONTROVERSY

All was not quiet on the west
ern front of the Redwood County
Amateur Basketball league this
week, by any means. as members
of the Belview basketball team,
supported by fans, engaged in a
verbal rough and tumble with
members of the Standard Oil team
from Redwood Falls.
Both groups admit that a game
scheduled between them last
Thursday night was only half
played but beyond that reports
are entirely conflicting, even to
such statistical data as to the
score at halftime and the baskets
credited to various players.
Clark Sponaugle, league presi-
dent, was investigating the mat
ter this week and will make no
decision until he has heard both
sides. In the interests of good
craftsmanship it is hoped that his
decision will settle the matter and
not lead to further quarrels be-
tween teams in a league which,
while thriving on friendly rivalry
cannot survive many such diff
culties.
According to Standard Oil
players, they protested on the Of

under protest although this was
misunderstood and Belview thou

argument developed between hal

to continue and by the time the
mess was Strengthened out, some
of the Belview players had dress

An account in the Redwood
County Sun based undoubtedly on
Information obtained locally, drew
fire from Belview players in a let
ter to The Gazette which, in the
hope that it will throw oil on
troubled waters and not fuel on
flames, we are publishing below.
The letter:

L ilC 4lCoWOOo 1dZctI6,
Redwood Falls, MINI.
Dear Sirs:
Belview fans and the Belview
Independents Basketball team,
members of the Redwood County
Amateur basketball league were
very much surprised at the un-
sportmanship like attitude of the
Standard Oil team of Redwood
Falls. Especially after reading the
write up in The Redwood County
Sun. That article is false from
start to finish.
In that article headed 'Belview,
Standards Don't Play Nice" the
Belview team is accused of walk
ing off the floor at the beginning
of the first half with the score ID
to 10.
The article also credits Byram
and Keefe as high point men.
The >"walkout," according to
the article, was a protest against
alleged favoritism by Referee,
Earl Fish. 10
In the first place, it was at the
end of the first half, instead of the
beginning of the second. In the
second place it was the Standard
Oil team that walked off the floor
to the locker room instead of Bel
view because of alleged favoritism
of the referee. In the third place
the score was IA to Is, at the time
the Standard Oil team walked off
