The Sauk Centre herald., 1938-12-29

darn good free throw artist-bu
all the stunt shots I've seen hav'
gone sour. Well, Hetzel doe
everything with the ball excep
cook, our spies informs us. :. Ant
that yellow uniform will 60 SIX,
larbing over half the continent thi!
basketball time. 49,.
BY the by, a few short weeks agt
Hetzel was given q picture serie:
in the Collegiate Digest showing
some of his trick shots at work.
Additional copies Of the number
may be secured at 1645 Hennepir
Ave-, Faukes Building, Minneapol
is. =. A brand new list of donors
was turned In who helped to pur'
chase the Hetzel uniform: Jersey
Dairy, Wiener Shoe company, Sor.
enson shoe shop, Pioneer garage
Paul Telling, Borgmann Dairy
Minnesota Cafe. Hetzel thanks
you, gentlemen. -.
May we add that Johnny Du-
Bois is probably the hottest
piece of basketball flesh this
hamlet has seen In many
snow time. Thank you. Wen
say it anyway. But that
Johnny must be wrapped In
asbestos or he's gonna scorch
something. He's been throwing
in the buckets SO fast that for
eign teams are gonna forbid his
appearance on the court unless
he brings his own nets. 'Sa
fact. Willard held him TO 10
points-an on night Against
Bertha he got % out of 5S. The
tally grows anyway you look at
IL. The other day when a
correspondent said something
nice Of Johnny, he said, II will
buy him something" I can't
pass up opportunities like that,
can i? -.

From Coach Bill Williams, up
Alex way, comes word that Mime
apolis Edison will play Alex Sat-
urday, December 81, at $3.50.
Edison comes from Minot on the
trip. Edison, you know, are the
boys who in '3S were twin cities
runner up, state champs in '37, city
champs in '36 and 81. . Quoting
Williams, about Alex: "Our record
to date hasn't been too good, but
I do think we can give them a fair
game" So take gander up
there, If you like. -.
Reminds us that Alex Is q
cute kid-but she's been mess
ing around In pretty fast COM
pany. In the conference she
belongs, she can scarcely keep
the old bObber above water.
See where Brainerd busted her
off 6O-some to 20-sOme. Well,
luck against Edison, Alex. -.
The thought has dawdled in the
old bean, that if South represents
the type of basketball played in
Minneapolis, will take mine coun-
try style with a dash of the small
town. . For it was apparent to
me that Sauk Centre had just a
finer performing ball club-in spite
of a four point defeat. Per,
haps, I'm wrong, but most around
here felt that without that third
quarter getting so out Of hand, the
lads might have won. :. But wat
er under the bridge. -. The point
I'm interested in Is that in the Min
neapolis league dog fight the lads
don't get a chance to show basket
ball handling-speed, and toughness
are their meat. Last year from
Cleve himself Thief River Falls
had the best real ball club in the
tournament race. :. So perhaps
the country has something to offer
to basketball, bless it. >.
There is perhaps a reason behind
that too. When South hit Sauk
Centre she had plenty Of reserves
No need to worry about fouling out
Now Sauk Centre happens to have
more reserve strength than the av'
erage team in a town this size
but even then must reserve Its
original combination or its strength
is impaired. ). Minneapolis schools
reverse with reserve strength their
power thrusts. Which accounts
for the dog fight, we believe, that
came about in that thriller some
time ago. -.
Hmm, here we are again. At
the end Of the space allotted our
nififul effOrfS-and the end of
