George Fish on the lot, one of
the most consistent fans in the
hamlet. Rosedahl, a mite of
lad, harrassing those big guys on
the floor. Oh, thrill as one Of
the Rattle clan "a kid brother)
makes a bucket-but only one. :.
Veeder-Berggreen a nice pair of
second string guards. Pungent
odors of sweating bodies. e. High
school gals kneeling at the floors
rail. It's the wailing wall when
they lose. Parents come to
watch hopefuls. And die a thous-
and deaths as Junior makes a mis-
take; or swell with pride as he
plays good ball. What man
about town Sounds teddibly New
Yorkish, doesn't it) literally sur
rounded with teachers in the
bleachers. Me knowee but me
no tellee. Uncle Mike Frank,
6 feet of towering young manhood,
enters with his young nephoo-amid
girl giggles as he looks very pa
terly may we say that to coin a
Basketball's indoor sideline
color is pale-faced wench
alongside of footballs dazzling
glamour girl. 4. :. Footballs rOis-
ferrous autumn set, with it's col
or Of outdoor habit, its green
turf, bands playing, crowds yells
floating of into an autumn sky,
and the natural sOftening col
ors Of falls a real sight, And
worth the price of admission.
But basketball's color Is
confined thing. Confined to
the four walls Of a gymnasium.
:. But for downright pande-
mOnium broke loose, give me
good old basketball frenzy.
:. Gals yell at the kickoff of
the starting gun. How they do
1t, 1 don't know; but Loyalty
they carry on to their last
breath and that of the games.
When the going Is even and
the court play gets racy the
hubbVb rivals that of a boiler
factory, for which legend has
worked up neat myth In re-
gard to heavy sounds. So
we're In for 1t, lads. The has
ketball frenzy from now to
March!
You want to be in on that Min
neapolis South game. Those boys
put on a real show a year ago.
There was a bit of neat basketball
as Sank Centre held her own with
the lank of South. O.. It's South's
second annual appearance on the
Main Street court. . You can bet
your last bow tie that South is
tough. I mean they play tough. -.
Last year players were spilled all
over the court. You can be referee
of a game like that any time you
want. The thing Of it is that
in that City League the boys have
to be tough-tougher than the next
or they're out of business. And
business means whether or not you
got the fans slapping you on the
back. Which is different than hav-
ing them talk behind it. Out
here in the country and the wide
spaces, we're just catching on that
basketball is a tough game. A
game that takes just 80 minutes of
real playing. And you gotta be
smart; smarter than the other guy
or those little points trickle on
ahead Of you so fast, you
think you're in a rocket ship. . 9.
So take a look at this SCuth-Sauk
Centre game. I think you'll really
enjoy it. :.
Let's move over into the cheer
ing section, for be it recognized
that cheering and the yell leaders
are an essential part of sports. .
