Missed Death by Only Is Min
utes. Half Million Dollar
Reward Is Offered.

Adolf Hitler escaped death by
only IS minutes last Wednesday
night when a famous Nazi shrine
was blown up shortly after the
German dictator had finished an
anniversary speech ...
Many attempts have been made
to assassinate the German ruler,
but this was the narrowest escape
he has encountered thus far. A
time-bomb placed in an empty at
tic above the crowded beer hall
caused the explosion and it went
off Is minutes after Hitler had
cut short his speech and departed.
Six veteran Nazis who faced
bullets with Hitler Is years ago
were killed and so injured
A reward of nearly one-half
million dollars was put up for
identity of the perpetrators and
large number of suspects have
been arrested during the past
week, but as yet no convictions
have been announced.
An odd jobs repairman is the
object of the latest nazi suspi-
cion. 1t is stated that he repaired
the gallery encircling the beer
cellar short time ago.
In his speech that afternoon,
Hitler declared that Germany is
prepared for a five-year war, at
the end of which there could
only be one victor-Germany.
It is expected that Hitler will
launch an extensive offensive
campaign either directly into
France or into Belgium. A mys-
ferrous shooting incident on the
Belgium border last Thursday
has caused considerable debate
relative to his attacking this small
county and a Belgian mobiliza-
ton is now in progress, as near
ly million men have been sent
to the front.

Creek was in town Monday.

Three States Will Celebrate
Old And New Turkey Days
Majority to Stick to Old Date.
North Carolina Included
In This Group.

Washington, Nov. 14.-It looks
as if 1889 may 60 down in history
as the year when a good many
mothers in Mississippi, Texas
and Colorado had to get the cas-
tor oil down three times to pull
their children through the rigors
of holiday feasting.
For boys and girls in those
states face the pleasant prospect
of gorging themselves on not only
one but two Thanksgivings-and
Christmas as we'll, of course, If
the turkeys hold out. The young
sters will be glad to hear, no
doubt, that a bumper crop OF
gobblers is on hand.
The dual legal observance of
Thanksgiving in the three states
is an outgrowth of President
Roosevelt's request that the day
of thanks be moved up one week
from the last Thursday in Nov
ember. Mr.. Roosevelt said many
merchants had requested the
change so that shopping for the
two occasions, especially Christ
mas, would be spread over a Ion
ger period.
twenty-five states went along
with the President and agreed to
give thanks on November %.
Twenty-three others decided to
stick to the traditional date, Nov.

Churchill Says
Allies To Fight
On To Victory
Declares That England And
France Won't Stop Until
Hitler Is Licked.

London, Nov. Is. - Winston
Churchill, first lord of the admir-
city, said tonight that Britain and
France would make war until
the other side have enough OF 1t"
and that "the fate of Holland and
Belgium, like that of Poland,
Czecho-Slovakia and Austria, will
be decided by the victory Of the
British empire and the French re-
public.
Declaring Britain's navy strong
er, her anti-U-boat forces three
times as numerous and her army
and air force growing, Churchill
said in a broadcast eve are far
better prepared to endure the
worst malice of Hitler and his
Huns than we were at the begin
ING of September"
II 90 so far as to say that If we
come through the winter without
any large or important event oc-
curing we shall in fact have
gained the first campaign of the
war;" he added.
Asserting German troops were
concentrating near the Neither
lends and Belgian borders, Chur-
chill said, 81 shall not attempt to
prophesy whether the frenzy of a
cornered maniac will drive Herr
Hitler into the worst of all his
crimes. but this I will say with
out a doubt. that the fate of Hol-
land and Belgium, like that of
Poland, Czecho-Slovakia and
Austria, will be decided by the
victory of the British empire and
the French republic.
"You may take it absolutely
for certain that either all that
Britain and France stand for in
the modern world will 60 down
or that Hitler, the nazi regime
and j" the recurring German oil
Prussian menace will be broker
and destoyed," Churchill said.
eff we are conquered all will
be enslaved and the United State:
will be left alone to guard the
rights of man."

Joe Corbett
is. Champion
Court Fan

Should Redwood Falls fail to
win championship in the forth
coming regional basketball tour
nament, the city can be consoled
by the fact that it already has a
champion in the basketball line.
Joseph M. Corbett hasn't miss
ed home basketball game in 18
years. He's missed very few out
of-town games in that time and
doesn't think there's been a dis
trict or regional tournament which
he hasn't attended.
Sub-district events, too, are
listed in his record. He's taken
tickets at the door of every sub
district game held in Redwood
Falls since the Lincoln school was
built 16 years ago.
Pushing the fire chief for at
tendance honorS are Mrs. Corbett
and Mrs. John Schmid who usual
ly accompanies them to games.
DR.. j. w. Inglis also is veteran
patron and has followed two sons
through Journeys in recent years.
A third is coming up. DR.. Inglis
remembers watching a game at
Marshall in 1922 in which Red
wood boys sometimes shot at the
wrong basket.
Robert Whyte, veteran school
janitor got Mr.. Corbett started.
Mr.. Whyte has been at most of the
games since the city had teams
about 20 years.
"Why don't you watch your boy
play basketball?" he asked one
day in 1921 when the Corbetts'
eldest son, Gilbert, was playing at
the armory. Mr.. Corbett thought
he would, and so he did and he's
been watching his four sons and
other peoples sons ever since.
Gilbert made the high school
team when he was in the eighth
grade, Is years ago. He had five
years of play. Then Joe Jr., Wy
man and Albert Corbett took their
places on the high school team.
The four boys had an aggregate of
about Is years of high school play
to their credit.
There's difference in watching
your own boys play and following
team which doesn't include
members of the family, Mr.. Cor
bett admits.
The nerve strain when you
watch your own son with super
critical eyes is something.
"But I did feel pretty nervous
again at the Redwood Falls New
Ulm game last week." he says.

Marshall Team Has
Lost Only 3 Tits

Marshall Highs strong quintet
has had only three setbacks in a
successful year, all three of which
were revenged either during the
season or in the ninth district
tournament The Tigers won their
tourney cup with comparative
ease, only Tracy furnishing real
opposition in the finals which
were decided 20 to "a. Marshall
beat Lynd, defending champ, a.
to rs and Minneota 33 to Is.
This gave the Tigers a tourney
superiority of LOG points to IS for
opponents and brought their sea-
sons total of points to 500. Their
foes scored 389.
The team had a record of nine
straight wins including 35 to 80
triumph over Redwood Falls,
% to % beating of the strong
Granite Falls team and a 38 to 80
win over Tracy when Pipestone
found the Tigers not invincible
81 to 81. The slump continued the
next week when MinEeota took
its bigger neighbor 81 to Is. Three
games later Tracy got redress 29
to % but in the meantime the
PipeStone trimming had been re-
venged 20 to Is and Clarkfield
had emerged from the jungle with
a 10 to II scratching. The Tigers
closed their regular season with
wins over Balaton and Hendricks.
Although the biggest city in its
district, Marshall has had sur
prising shortage of district
champs. The 1899 team is the first
in Is years to earn the crown held
by the 1923 team which went on
to the state meet where it lost to
Aurora in the first round. Aurora
won the title that year.
Coached by Bernie Cole, the
team has two stars worthy of all

Milan Comes From
Strong Cage Sector

Sub-district as we'll as district
champs up in the eleventh sector,
Milan will send down an octet of
experienced and mostly rangy
lads with a record of Fl victories
in "a season and tournament
starts.
Coming from the area which
includes great basketball towns
like Appleton, Montevideo, Madi-
son, Granite Falls. Clarkfield and
a dozen others, the Milan lads
had to be good to get here. Their
record leaves little doubt but
what they earned their ticket.
Teams defeated during the sea-
son include Boyd, Dawson, Or
tonville, Maynard and Clara City
each twice and Montevideo, Ben
son, Correll and Bellingham once
each while Granite Falls divided
series, Milan winning the first
40 to "a and Granite taking the
return match "a to Is. Clarkfield
alone took both games during the
season, beating Milan the first
time 18 to Is and the second 10
to 9 in an overtime session.
In sub-district games, the
champs took Boyd "a to 10, Clara
City II to 8 and Maynard 20 to
%. The going was tougher in the
district, Milan winning over
Madison 10 to ID, over Appleton
% to 20 and finally Granite Falls
SO to 80.
Milan led its opponents Sill to
1873 during the season, 70 to 40 in
the, sub-district and Sc to 68 in
the district for a total of 667 to

Cardinal Workouts
Light This Week

Although they took their dis
trict ten title with ease, there was
no attitude of over-confidence
Monday as the Cardinals worked
out in preparation for the re-
gional tournament this weekend.
Rather there was an impress
sive seriousness about the prac-
tice and even about the business
of picture taking for which it was
interrupted briefly. The boys know
they have work to be done and
they are all for doing it in the
most efficient manner possible.
Most of the practice was devoted
to shooting and it was encourag-
ing to see the sphere swish
through the net repeatedly
An encouraging thing about
the Redwood Falls team is the
predominance of under claSsmen
Stensvad, Lang and Steele of the
first eight are sophomores. Dick
meier, Duea and Hoffman are
juniors. Only two members, Cap
tain Ross Lussenhop and Leo Joe
Lauterbach of the tourney squad
are completing their high school
careers this season.
Redwood Falls won II of 16
scheduled games besides three
tournament contests. The Card
inals have scored 688 points in
10 games, an average of slightly
over SO per game while their
foes have garnered 456 points or
an average of "a. The five de-
feats include two by Tracy, one
by Marshall, Glencoe and Lam
berton.
