SPORTS

Sank Centre ended their hectic sea-
sen triumphantly by winning the
district % championship, just as
this person said they would do. And
one of my favorites Thief River
Falls, won the state championship.
Outside of these two achievements
this corner has no more to speak
of.
Last week the inter-mural bask-
etball tournament was run off.
Preceding this tournament the
Junior class team met the Senior
class team and, much to the sur
prise Of many, the Seniors dumped
the Juniors overheard by the score
Of 23-16. The seniors dominated the
play all through the game and led
at the half IA. The senior team
consisted CT three men who played
on the squad during the year and
only two Of the tournament squad.
The junior team, however, consist
ed of all tournament members.
That does not make prospects for
next year seem toe bright. Hoffman
tailed eight points and Bellinger,
not a tournament man, Tailed also
eight points. Meanwhile the junior
class stars" were held to eight
points all totaled. What's wrong?
This is another peculiar twist in
basketball events which marked
this season as one of the most
excite but still most colorful which
has been undergone by the Sank
Centre high school team. Do you
remember when the "All Star
Scribes" downed the second team
'tBombers" when the 'iBombers
were in their prime? And when
Sank Centre was losing game after
game then defeated Little Falls
then fairly strong team?
In the inter-mural tournament
last week, more upsets were scored.
A strong team, captained by Ray
Walker, won their first game then
lost to team captained by Donnie
Ethun. Pangburn's team beat Jack
sons team then lost to Kringen's
team which was sort of a surprise.
Therefore, Kringen and Ethun met
for the championship.
In the game when Pangburn's
team and Kringen's followers met,
George Conkey, Kringen man, real
ly cut loose and did some "hot"
playing. Madly dribbling down the
floor he would pull a fast fake
shifting his man out of position
and then swish in q one-hander
from the far side-line, time after
time. His passes were fast and
clean. He scored something like IA
points. Then he would shift back to
defense and hold the main threat
of the ether team, Jim Pangburn,
who showed up so well in the dis
trist % tournament, took a very
few points. Pangburn's team made
8 points in all while Kringen's
team nabbed IS.
While Conkey was cutting loose
on the floor Coaches Tcftness and
Harvey sat on the side-line and af-
ter each exhibition would gaze at
each other awed and speeches..
What got into him." they wonder
ed. For the first time he showed
more drive than the whole years
efforts showed. Just watch him
next year!
This was one Of the best games
of the tournament although the

"On May 8, 1888, Camp Gegoka F-2
was established some Is odd miles
southeast of Ely and marked the advent
of the CCC program on the Superior

tablished in rapid order until by the
winter of 1888, II companies of Goes

the program, the number of camps
reached total of %. This number was
gradually decreased by consolidation
and transfer of companies down to
nine, the present number. Camp Sea-

the most isolated camp on the forest
It is located at the end of the famous

SPEAKER FOR
old SETTLERS
Former Congressman to Ad-
dress Tower Gathering
Thursday, July Fl.

John Tregear, in charge of the speak
ing for the annual reunion of the YER
million Range Old Settlers Association
on July 81, announces that he has ar
ranged with j. Adam Bede to make the
address on that day.
Former Congressman j. Adam is
probably the best known old settler in
this section. He was a resident of
Tower when he was named United
States Marshal for Minnesota and who
resigned his position because the party
under which he was named desired
favors in political line from Mr.. Bede
that did not set well.
He has been in demand the country
over as an arator of outstanding abil-
ity. Owing to his advanced years, Mr.
Bede has been compelled to forego
many speaking dates. He still is in
demand as a POSTMASTER and master
Of ceremonies. The old timers are for
tunate in having secured this noted
speaker and lecturer to address them.
The executive committee has made
several new appointments on committees
since the first announcement was made
week ago. On the new member COM
mittee the names of Clifford Nelson,
John Dragavon, Richard Chinn, Ar
thur Limstrum and A. 0. Knutson of
this city and Jack Kehus and John
NORM of Tower have been named. Ed.
G. Jones was added to the Booyah COM
mittee. Mr.. Jones will act with Bruce

ant committee working for the Oliver

HOME CONTEST
CLOSES JULY 20
$40 Per Word Offered for Best
Thoughts on What the
Word Home Means.

Forty dollars per word is high pay,
but someone in Ely has the opportunity
of being paid at that rate not only for
one word, but for $50 of them or a
total of $4,000, according to Mr.. Nc
Mahan of the McMahan Lumber COM
pany.
This, he said, is the amount that will
go to the person who expresses the
simplest, most sincere thoughts on
what the Word Home Means to Me-
in nationwide contest being con-
Quoted by Johns-Manville.
The $40 figure tops by a great deal
the per word price of the most famous
authors, Mr.. McMahan said. At the
height of his career, Rudyard Kipling
received a dollar a word from his
publishers, and O. Henry, one of the
greatest stort story writer's of ell times
never got more than ten cents WORD
for his immortal tales. The highest
paid fiction writer's of today receive
only about so cents word for theil
stories, he said.
Even the second prize of $4,000 would
be good pay, Mr.. McMahan believes anc
any of the 10 cash prizes are wei
worth trying for. Third prize $1,000
fourth prize, $500; fifth prize, 500
sixth prize, $50; seventh to tenth prizes
$25 each; fifty prizes of $40 each, anc
fifty prizes of SIS each. In addition, HI
pointed out, the winner will have hi
sentiments featured in Johns Manvill'
display at the New York Worlds Fair
Mr.. McMahan also stressed the poin
that the letters will be judged upor
simple and sincere expressions rathe
than on fine and fancy writing. "N'
creative aptitude is necessary" he de
clared. 1.-The winning letter will be on
from the heart and not from the pei
alone"
Local headquarters for the contest
which closes July 20, are at the Nc
