Ii sumpn :. Over y0nder Ii q
woman knitting something In
blue. and another, toed-in, IL
reading . book Why can't
women just sit and hook. =.
Over my shoulder: eff I was a
bettin' man I'd lay about . to 1
on that team" Better be
careful, son, thinks 1 to myself
=. About the time I was get
ting nicely interested the guy
behind me topped an overcoat
over my head, and whilst i
struggled with that he put his
foot In my pocket Now I've
been enuf Of q camper to over
hook OvercOats waving I'm the
breeze shutting out my vision,
but when guy puts his foot in
my pocket says L: there's dirty
work at the cross stitches
And another thing There
was a little cutie down the row
Always from Deer Creek who did
her darndest 10 get my mind off
the game But i was impreg-
nable-like the Bastille L Then
all the guys on the team were
fighting about her, and I could
not have that !. Dissension in
the ranks and all that stuff,
you know There's one at
every tournament: The home
town kid (from Alex this time)
who feels he must-simply
must-make everyone feel at
home and makes faces and
turns antics for the customers.
All I got to say is they can't do
his to me. Here I &c and work my
fingers to the bone to pick the
winners of the sub-district, and
what thanks do I get? Absolutely
none. Now in the first bracket I
those Melrose, so what do they do?
They get beat. Can va tie that
hey get beat. And by whom? Bro
of all things. You know,
Melrose was the choice for the nod
rom a number Of corners. They
lad a good season, and were ad-
judged one of the best teams Baum
,artner has had in recent years.
But how was I to know Johnny
Neber was going to get into the
Golden Gloves and get his cussed
numb broken And right there
vent Melrose chances, for he was
he mainstay of their attack. And
light there went my foretelling
On this next one I used the crystal
had any faith in it. Now
we thrown it out for the last time.
The ball said that Upsala would
win, but my better judgment said
Bertha. But who am I to let my
,etter judgment rule the ball. So I
those Upsala first and Bertha sec
md. Well, Bertha won, so I get
lbout 35 percent :. Here Is one I
would be a cinch for
Brandon. What did they do. They
ct me down like a cold shirt. And
Deer Creek went on to take 1t /.
But here my chest expands with
bride until I am painting like an
liredale in July. Boy, was I smart.
was so smart I nearly got beat.
But Parkers Prairie came through
,dging out Osakis in the final
ound. Whats my score? It's as
rood as those teams that got beat.
p. ST. have just learned that
defeating Melrose, Is
erroneous. Melrcse did win. She
will play the district. And yours
rulys score goes up.
So here are the district pair
ings: Melrose to meet Alexan-
dria; Bertha to meet Long
Prairie; Deer Creek to joust
with Glenwood; and Parkers-
good OIL Parkers-will take on
the locals. And you can believe
me, although by the time you
read this you will know IL, this
Is going to be one of the mad
dest scrambles for q district t.
tie that Alex has ever defended.
There isn't q single outstanding
team, but there are a half dozen
of the bunch who have wallOp-
ed each other and look pretty
fair.
I want to outline the chances for
