H. S. Loses to Virginia;
Itasca Defeats Jaysees
Bluedevils Play Unbeatable
Ball; Hand Ely Small End
of 26 to 6 Score.

Coach Archie Skalbek's Virginia high
school basketball team flashed some of
the real Mccoy, Friday evening on the
Queen City court, with disastrous re-
suits for the Ely high quintet. The
game ended with Ely on the wee end
of a Is to score as Virginia fans
again talked about sending team to
the regional tournament.
The bogeyman that kept the ball
out of Ely'S basket at the Eveleth game
brought along his relatives to the Queen
City tussle. Coach Edward Buckley's
charges fired away repeatedly but the
ball refused to go through the hoop.
They had plenty of chances at the bas-
ket, although they experienced some
trouble during the first half in pene-
trating the Bluedevil's tight defense,
but the right stuff wasn't on the ball.
Not until the game was well into the
second quarter did Albin Grahek, Ely
forward, break through and put his
team in the scoring column for two
points The half ended soon after with
Virginia in the van, 17-2.
During the second canto, GraheK
again slipped in field goal, with Paul
Prola, center, following suit to account
for ElyS total scoring.
Even the free throws couldn't be
made. Ely missed all nine of its
chances from the free throw line, with
Virginia putting through two out OF
five attempts.
The Queen City made it clear
sweep when its second team whipped
the local reserves, 20 to 10.

athletes, as well as the coaching staff,

The Ely high school team, but two
jumps out of the cellar position in
| the district 81 standings, will have an
opportunity to show what kind of a
wallop it packs when it tangles with
Aurora. Ely has lost both its games,
playing Eveleth and Virginia on foreign
courts, but not because they didn't try
or because they didn't have chances to
make baskets. You can't win basket
ball games unless you make baskets
getting close doesn't count-and that's
what has happened so far.
Lack of confidence in their own
ability has also contributed to their
defeats. If and when the boys find
themselves and start clicking, some
ones going to get whipped and it isn't
going to be Ely.
Virginia defeated Aurora, 1921, in
the initial game of the season for both
and then last week turned the tables
on Ely, 1856. The only comparisons
that might be made between these
games are that Ely has a better defense

Summing Meet Up

Coach Herseth's paddlers, fresh and
enthusiastic from their victory over
Eveleth, are out to do big things when
they engage Chisholm, Saturday after
noon. On paper it looks like Ely may
have Chisholm's scalp before the day is
over.
Last Friday, Virginia took the CHS
holm paddlers into camp, 46 to 20, while
the week before the most the Bluedevil
navigators could do to Ely was 40 tc
26 in the initial meet for both. That
makes Ely just six points better than
Chisholm-on paper, of course.
Ely has gained considerable valuable
experience since then, however, which
might provide the margin of victory
here Saturday afternoon.

MERMAIDS TO
face virginia
Expect Tough Competition in
Engaging State Champs
in Home Waters.

Members of the Ely high school girls
swimming team will figuratively be
swimming for their lives when they
clash with the state championship girls
team at Virginia, Saturday afternoon.
Not only will they be engaging the
title holders but they will be par
ticipating in their first meet of the
season.
The Queen City paddlerS have already
seen competition, easily defeating CHS
holm in the home pool last Saturday.
No statements as to the proves of
the Ely mermaids were Forthcoming
from Coach Madelynne Grevich, but
she did admit that they were in for
plenty of trouble in their initial baptism
of the year.
From the Queen City comes the re-
port that Coach Jean Healey "is having
difficulty in developing championship
squad, with but six emblem winners
from last year on hand" Evidently
Virginia is already cunning for the
1899 state crown.
Coach Grevich has also been having
her difficulties. Agnes Alar, breast
stroker; Mary BONNER, free styler;
Marion Hall, back stroker; Mabel
Lamp, diver, and Helen Slogan, another
free styler, veterans from last year
will serve as a nucleus for the team
Emily Debeltz, free styler; Ruth Erick-
son, back stroker, and Angela Poljanec
breast stroker, saw some service a year
ago. Ruth Markovich, who swims the
back stroke; Peggy Lambert, a diver
and Waynetta Hill, a free styler, new
corners, have yet to win their Aquatic
spurs.
These girls will make the trip to Vir-
ginia, but Coach Grevich has yet tt
decide in what events they will par
ticipate. The teams will vie for honor:
in the 1O0-yard breast, back, and free.
style events, 40-yard breast, back anc
free style, 80-yard relay and 120-yare
medley relay.

neck, with an apparent tie at the
finish line But the judge ruled Eve
leth had won.
The 4O-yard and 1OO-yard free style
had the gallery on its feet as Eveleth
took both by narrow margins.
At Hibbing, Friday night, Ely wasn't
so fortunate, falling by the wayside be-
fore a powerful team that has its eye
on the national championship, So to A.
They've got everything" Coach Max
Herseth said, commenting upon the
proves of the Hibbing team. That
covers the situation completely. The
best Ely could do was to garner two
second places and four thirds in the
individual events.

Lose Heartbreaker by Single
Point; Joe Novak Goes on
Scoring Spree.

BY the narrow margin of one point,
the Ely Junior College basketball team
kept out of the win column when it
lost to Itasca, % to 81, on the Coleraine
floor.
Even the Herculean efforts of Joe
Novak, forward, who forced the score
keepers to take to an adding machine as
he ran up a total of II points, were
to no avail.
With seconds to go, Novak tossed in
his final basket of the game to cut
Itasca's three-point lead to one point,
and an unidentified teammate fired
from long range as the gun sounded but
the ball dropped short of the hoop.
The lead alternated throughout the
game, although Ely enjoyed a slight
margin, 10 to 10, at the half. Ely, who
had good success on pot shots during
the initial half, was foiled during the
final canto as ItaSca pulled its defense
close in, leaving few opportunities for
setupS. AS a result, Ely scored but
eight points during the last two periods
as compared to 10 for the first two.
The winners slipped in 10, which over
came the losers one-point lead at the
half and provided the margin of vic
tory.
Ely had tough luck on charity losses,
which ultimately brought about defeat
They connected with five out of 13
tries, while Itasca made II out of II
attempts. The local quintet was way
ahead on baskets, sinking II to eight
for ItaSca.
! The squad played without the SER
vices of Paul Dowler, John Miklaucich
and Leonard johnson, who ran into
scholastic difficulties following the
quarterly examinations last week.
A big, tall boy by the name of Rise
center for Itasca, figured prominently
in Ely's downfall. He garnered 16
points himself and did a swell job dur
ing the game in batting the ball away
from Ely's basket.
