Season Tickets Sale
For Seven Home Games
Now Being Conducted


Indicating he wanted mo stars
or champions" on his team, Coach
]. N. Toftness was busy this week
picking up the weak spots that pro-
truded in the Upsala- Grey Eagle
games last week, sent his cagers in
to drills designed to put them in
fine edge when st. Cloud Tech
meets the locals here tomorrow eve
ming, Friday. -sSS1
Coach Tommy Anti, Tech men
tor, was having his troubles too as
the two teams prepared to open
seasons for the fifth consecutive
time. His trouble is a lack of let
termen-in fact veritable drouth.
But reserves from the second string
and the selection from one hundred
candidates, have helped the cause.
For four years Gene Harvey
coached Sank Centre teams made
going rough for st. Cloud, but al
ways they lost marginally. Once
IS to II, another time q to 20, and
those scores in years when the
horn of plenty was pouring over
Tech. This year the same team.
who last year played smooth ball
as a bunch of green boys, only to
lose 20 to IL, are pointing toward
what may be their first victory OF
the Tech lads.
AS unit the Toftness cagers are
pretty well defined, but the coach
indicated he would be buster than a
housewife on Tuesday, ironing out
individual difficulties. "They all
need polish and speed" he said.
Their shooting was completely
off," was the major fault he could
find. Records kept for the loft
ness perusal showed Sank Centre
in the Upsala game converting on
ly 8 goals out of Al tries. The re-
serves dumped 43 ties at the Grey
Eagle basket for only 8 goals. But
the record showed an offensive that
was boring deep for most of the
scoring was under the basket.
"Defensively they went lazy when
they had Upsala in a ten point
lead" Toftness said. And further
work was in store for the boys on
that score.
Most interested is he in team
play. He indicated that individual
stars, who can find no open receiv-
err, who dribble needlessly, have no
place on well-balanced unit.
Move it," is what he wants to get
his team to speed pitch that can't
be stopped. eff can't get it with
one group Of players I'll get it with
another" was his terse comment.
There's every indication that
from eight to ten men may see SER
vice Friday. Those who will prob
ably get the call included Conkey,
Kringen, Larson, Jackson, Pang-
burn, Ethun, Deziel and Brown.
Or other possibilities include Sic
ben, Hunt, Hildebrand, as a reserve
combination. Reserves, Toftness
felt, hit a new high Tuesday eve
ming when they narrowly downed
one Of the best Grey Eagle teams
in years.
AS the team warmed to its sub
ject with overhauling drills, Prin-
cipal e. w. Olson announced the
sale Of season tickets, students
started a canvass to sell the seven
game ducats. Tickets are available
at either drug store, he announced.
