weeks session was held for the

Church in this country and its
theme was the town and country
ministry. One of the interesting dis
courses of the session was that of
DR.. Carl Taylor, government so
biologist, who spoke from the angle
of his profession regarding the
Church. Speaking in the light of
the sociologist (not a socialist) DR..
Taylor said that the Church, speak
ing generally, must take more de-
cisive action in the problems today
If she is to maintain a prominent
place in the social world.
Rev. Mott visited such important
sights as Mount Vernon and Lees
home at Arlington. A side trip to
Philadelphia was an interesting
journey. Under leadership Of the
curate, the group of clergymen
were taken to the Washington
Cathedral, now about one-third
completed, conducted through the
crypt, the lower chapels, and even
to the part above the vaulting and
out onto the roof where they could
look out upon the parapets and fly
ing buttresses that make up the
architecture of the building.
During his stay in Washington
Mrs. Mott visited with her parents,
Rev. and Mrs. P. s. Hyde, in Leroy,
Ohio. Rev. Mott joined her there on

Pairings Made
For District
Tournament
Sank Centre May Meet Park
ers Prairie In First
Tilt
WILL BE HELD IN MARCH
Competitive Teams To Be
Selected In Sub
District

It Is not entirely improbable that
Sank Centre will meet Parkers
Prairie when the District % mad
cap basketball tournament rolls
around early in March according to
pairings made Saturday when
coaches met and threshed out the
problems of the tournament race.
That item may mean trouble unto
elimination for the locals, for the
Parkers lads are the only quint. in
the district that have defeated
Alexandria twice. But Coach J. N.
Toftness looks at it in this light:
IF we're going to win the race, we
will play them sooner or later; 1t
might as well be sooner" But be-
fore the tourney has gone that far,
Parkers has the additional strain
of playing sub-district engage
ments, which the locals as a seeded
team do not have. There Is pos
sibility that any Of the other three
in the bracket which includes Hen
ming, Evansville, and Osakis might
nose out the Parkers crew.
AS usual the four larger schools,
to prevent their being eliminated in
the first rounds, are seeded to first
round matches in the district,
thereby eliminating their participa-
ton in sub-district events. Long
Prairie, Sank Centre, Glenwood and
Alexandria are the four.
from the list OF pairings 1t Is
cleaned that Sank Centre will def
initely not meet either Glenwood or
Alexandria in the first round.
Sub-district meets will function
the last week end in February at
Alexandria and Eagle Bend. From
that melee four teams will emerge
to enter the district paired against
the four seeded schools. The eight
will battle it out in as mad a tour
nament as any this district has
seen. Few teams have been able to
down opponents twice, and the list
10 strewn with a number Of possi-
bilities who may clear the decks
and man the guns for action.
Frankly the whole situation Is a
headache to coaches who have been
studying the dope.
Added to this angle Is the fact
that this year marks the first tour
nament under the new rules elm
mating the center jump. District %
became a pioneer in the field when
they boosted the tournament play
ing number on each team from the
usual eight to ten men.
Here are the pairings:
1. Browerville VS.. Clarissa.
Eagle Bend VS.. Melrose.
Winner VS.. Y.
2. Grey Eagle VS.. Upsala.
Swanville VS.. Bertha.
Winner VS.. x.
8. Brandon VS.. Bye.
Willard VS.. Deer Creek.
Winner VS.. A.
4. Henning VS.. Osakis.
Evansville VS.. Parkers Prairie.
Winner VS.. B.
The above are the pairings for
the sub-district meets. From each
of the four brackets one team only
will last the elimination and enter
the district meet.
Seeded teams are indicated by
letters. Glenwood (A) will meet the
winner of group 81, Sank Centre,
OBJ will play the winner OF group
(B), Long Prairie (X) will meet
the winner of group (2), and Alex
andria (Y) will match with the
winner of bracket a..

Ice Carnival
Had Large
Attendance
King Foo /, Uncrowned Snow
King, Ruled For Short
Time
INTERESTING EVENTS
Moorhead Youngsters Enter
tanned With Fancy Skat-
ing Events

King Foo I, the snow lord Of the
carnival, might have felt tug at
his icy heart Sunday, but in truly
paternal style he gazed down on a
scene painted in crystal by the icy
hand Of Winter, his chief council
or, smiled benignly on his neglectful
children when an estimated crowd
of 500 kibitzers looked on at Sank
Centres first ice carnival.
His Majesty, red-eyed, sat-or
was he standing-and through his
troubles smiled at the gay scene
below as skaters flashed across the
Ice in races and exhibitions. You
see, his troubles were that the cor
onation and unveiling ceremony Of
the king Of the carnival, the snow
man, was completely overlooked. So
with his hands folded lovingly
around his protruding tummy he
watched the scene below. And so he
reigned for a regal hour and half
king Foo I, the uncrowned king
OF the carnival.
while cold wind whipped out
Of the west and CLASSY surfaces
kept pedestrians on their guard, the
crowd saw some races that sport
ed thrills, and saw the final Of the
event, hockey game.
Heading the exhibition skating
was a group from NIoorhead. Two
13-year-old twin boys and their sis
ter, an 11-year-old pocket size Son.
ia Henie, put on routines Of their
own fashioning. Roy and Ray
Schram and their sister, Enola,
were the trio, and they delighted
the crowds with their fanciful skat-
ing. Other exhibitionists scheduled
to appear from st. Cloud were nee
essarily omitted when slippery
roads prevented them from attend
ing.
Here are the list Of winners that
flashed across the line to grab the
ribbon awards:

Though modest in its program
and hampered when weather condi-
lions threatened to call off the
event, this first Ice carnival prom
ised that the event had sufficient
interest to warrant continuing it.
Sponsoring the event were commit
tee members Of the Rotary Club,
WPA recreational directors, Ray
Eteir and Clarence Dickson, and
others interested in community
skating.
Monday morning the king was
dead. Assassins stole in the wee
hours Of the morning, decapitated
the fatherly old King Foo I to end
his short-lived reign.
