Mr.. Knutson had this point to

Third Cage Meet May Be Held Here
Redwood Falls High Players
Disregard Calendar, Triumph
Thrice on Friday, Thirteenth

The Redwood Falls Cardinals
succeeded in throwing off the
jinx that has bounded them three
games and squeezed out 40 to
38 victory over the defending dis
trict champions from New Ulnl
on that night of nights, Friday
the thirteenth, at the high school
auditorium here.
1t was thriller for 80 minutes
of fast play. The Eagles started
strong running up an eight point
lead in the first four minutes of
play. Calling time out, the Cards
claimed down and quarter time
found them trailing Is to 6. Duea
and Lang found the mesh in the
second stanza, while Steele and
Lauterbach succeeded in keeping
the Eagles at distance. The
Cards were closing the gap be-
fore half-time when the score was
20 to II.
Maintaining the marked i'm
provement shown in the secor.d
quarter, the Cards took a point
lead with buckets by Lauterbach
and Diekmeier as the third quar-
ter opened. The lead see-sawed,
being tied at 81 midway during
the period. Then New Ulm got
hot just before the end of the
third quarter to lead 33 to %.
The Eagles managed to keep a
few points lead while both sides
were dropping them in consistent
ly until Lang and Duea connect
ed to tie the count at 81 with
two minutes remaining. Then
Lang came through with three
free shots and the Cards kept the
ball away from the Eagles until
the final whistle.
Lang played the best game of
his career, both defensively and
in shooting, leading the scorers
with II points. Duea followed
with eight points and Diekmeier
and Lauterbach were outstanding
on defense. Temple ard Ochs led
the Eagles with nine points each.
Improvement in making free
throws helped as Redwood sank
10 of IS tries. New Ulm made six
of nine tries.
The Redwood Juniors had an
easy time defeating the New Ulm
Frosh, 81 to II in the prelim con-
test. The little Cards led 1910 at
the half and ID to 10 at the third
quarter. Finn, Ingiis, Cuff and
especially Chuck Young showed
promise.
Coach Wallblom's Victory Five
made it three wins in one night
for Cardinal teams defeating the
Morgan High school regulars %
to Is in a game played there. 1t
was close going the first half and
the Victory Five led only IL to
II at half-time. Hustad, Slocum
and Kohler were strong for Wall
blom's squad while Carity, Les
Christensen, Neuschwander, Nor
man Otto and Byram gave good
accounts of themselves.

OF SCHOOL HEADS
IN DISTRICT TEN
-

Redwood Falls may entertain
three high school basketball tour
neys in March, the district as
we'll as the sub-district and re-
gional already scheduled here, it
developed this week when school
authorities at New Ulm notified
district officials that their new
high school auditorium, a WPA
project, will not be ready in time
for the district meet.
New Ulm issued a counter in
vitation that the games be played
at the armory there and l.. s.
Graves, Morton superintendent
and district chairman, is putting
the matter to a vote of schools in
the district. He advised Reede
Gray, superintendent here, of the
development Tuesday.
The tourney was tentatively
scheduled for New Ulm several
months ago when prospects were
good for completion of the school
by March 8. Since the district
meet draws the largest attendance
of the three-2,250 paid admis-
sions the first night here last
year-Mr. Gray believes a major
ity of the schools may vote for
Redwood Falls in spite of the fact
that the city has already been
generously treated. Besides hav-
ing the largest auditorium avail
able, the city is more convenient
to most district towns. Tourney
profits are divided among district
schools.
The tourney season will get I'M
der way here March 2 when the
three day sub-district opens. The
district meet is March 9, 10 and

matches four district winners, is
a two night affair, March II and
