Is there any danger of boiling the
liquid from grapes too long? I tried
to make jelly and boiled the grapes for
over an hour, but it would not stiffen,
even after chilling in an ice box.
You probably boiled the liquid too
long. This period should be no longer
than needed to soften the fruit, usually
from 5 to 10 minutes Long boiling
tends to break down the pectin, which,
as you probably know, is one of the
substances necessary for jelly-making

What causes angel food cakes to be
coarse grained? Is it because of too
much beating of egg whites or too hot
an oven?
We usually associate a coarse grain
with too little beating rather than too
much. Too much beating is likely to
give tough, dry cake, but not neces-
sarily a coarse-grained cake If you
beat about half your sugar in with the
egg whites and reserve the other half
of the sugar to mix with the flour, you
can give the eggs more thorough beat
ing without their becoming dry. Beat
only until they form peaks. Too hot
an oven may yield tough angel food
cake and it might also cause it to be
coarse grained-Ina B. Rowe, extension
nutritionist.

College Drops Thriller to
Itasca; High School Loses
Talented Virginia Club Proves
Stumbling Block for Coach
Smrekar's Team.

The Ely high school cagers met de-
feat, SO to "a, in their first big test OF
the season here with Virginia, Saturday
night, but in losing they were a vastly
superior club to the one that opposed
Eveleth here the week before.
Better basketball was never played in
any game than was dished out during
the first half. Spectators, sitting on
the edges of their seats, watched Ely's
inexperienced juniors match the Blue
devils nearly point for point, but in
the end it was the experience that won
out.
Ahead, 20-l6, as the second half
started, more by the grace of little
luck than aything else, Virginia really
poured on the heat in the third period.
They rang up six baskets, three ac-
credited to Fraboni, star forward who
probably has few equals on the range,
to increase their margin to 1920 as
the final quarter came up. Frank
Vertnik, sophomore forwards, scored
twice from the field for Ely during
the third period.
The Queen City continued to forge
ahead during the final quarter. with
| Ely registering its last four points from
| the free throw line.
Coach Steve Smrekar'S crew, tack
ling probably the toughest team in the
district, Saturday evening, will need a
little more seasoning before they can
compete successfully in Virginta's class.
But they'll come along before the season
lis over.
Ely will travel to Aurora, Friday
night for a game that should be nearly
as tough as the one with Virginia. The
best the Bluedevils could do was to
whip the Aurora crew by 4 points, 80 to
26, in the initial game of the season for
both. Last weekend Tower fell before
Aurora, 28-17.
Ely has a game here with Tower one
week from tonight. A feature attrac-
ton will be the Tower Girls Pep club
which is scheduled to put on an ex-
hibition.
Vertnik, Al Rowe and Roy johnson
were the big scoring guns for Ely against
the Queen City. Rowe and Lloyd Bird
turned in some fine defensive work,
but were caught mapping several times
in the second quarter. The two figure
strongly on Ely's offensive attack, and
no less than six times as Virginia 1e-
covered the ball under Ely's basket an
unguarded Queen City player hit for
his basket unaccosted. Only one such
trip, however, resulted in counter
being scored.
Ely shot So times from the floor
making Is per cent good, while Vir-
GINA was successful on 80 per cent of
their Sc tries.
After leading until the final minutes
the Ely seconds were nosed out by the
Virginia seconds, 1914. Playing on the
local team were Martin Starkovich
Sheldon Kayute, Louis Senta, Joe

buchar and George Perkovlch.

HIBBING WINS
ELY DUAL MEET
Swamps Local Team, So to ii,
in Memorial Pool; Ely to
Chisholm, Saturday.

Tough, big, and talented, the Hibbing
high school swimmers swamped the Ely
squad in Memorial pool, 52-14, Friday
night.
Hlbbing displayed plenty of powerful
and versatile mermen, even more so
than their ancient rivals, Virginia,
which defeated Ely in the initial meet
of the season, 45-21. Seven of the
Queen City points came by way of
forfeit, however.
Ely captured two first places against
Hibbing, Captain Joe Atkins taking the
100-yard back stroke and Albin Markun
the diving event. Only one second
place went to the local crew.
Captain Atkins in winning the back
stroke against both Virginia and Hib-
bling, stamped himself as a potential
threat in this event when the state

Roars Up Comeback Trail After
Disastrous Start Against
Eveleth in Opener.

Roaring up the comeback trail after
its disastrous start against Eveleth, the
Ely Junior College basketball team was
nosed out of registering a sensational
upset at ItaSca, Friday night, by the
narrow margin of a single basket.
Outscored nearly two to one in the
first half, Coach Barney Banks crew
sank counters from all angles in the
second canto, finally falling by the
waySide, 41-39.
1t was wild, hectic second half, the
type of basketball that has marked
many an Ely college game and that
has made the club the biggest dope
bucket upSetter in the conference.
Swishing in baskets from all angles
during the third quarter, the Yer
million range cagers rang up 10 points
to cut Itasca's 21-12 half-time margin
to 1880 as the final quarter got under
way.
From then on it was nip and tuck,
with the host team maintaining a
slender advantage until the final gun.
Torsti Franti and Steve Grahek, guards,
accounted for and II points respec-
lively, until they were removed in the
early part Of the final stanza on per-
sonal fouls, wet blanket on Ely's
chances of coming out on top.
Apparently finding themselves after
a weak start in the seasons opener
with Eveleth, the local Jaysees can be
calculated to upset many favorite
before the season ends, three months
hence. Considerable shifting of the
lineup was in evidence at Coleraine, ap-
parently with entirely satisfactory re-
suits.
The boys poured in IA field goals
nearly twice as many as they die
against the Tigers.
The club will travel TO Northland
Saturday night, for non-conference
tilt. They will not be seen in action
on Memorial court again until Jan. 20
when Hibbing comes here, but in the
meantime will play at Virginia anc
Crosby-Iront as well as Northland.

Duplicate Wins
In 1887 Events
By ROBERT McSHANE

I COOKING back over the past year
- in sports, Mr.. Average Fan Is
somewhat amazed to see so many
champions stay at the head Of the
field. Though there we're many up
sets. equally as many topnotchers
increased the prestige which they
had gained in previous years.
That does mot mean that there
were no new champions crowned.
10 records broken. Il does mean
that 1888 lacked some Of the ex-
plosiveness Of other years.
For instance, Joe Louis didn't win
the heavyweight title in 1898, he
merely kept it well in hand, and
gave a good accounting Of himself.
America merely kept the Davis cup
again this year, and didn't bring II
to this country. Don Bulge again
cannonaded his way through the
opposition. repeating his victories
OF the previous year. The Yankees
certainly did nothing new in blanket
ing the rest Of baseball. At least
nothing new for them. Ralph Gull
dahl won the open golf champion
ship for the second consecutive
year. Seabiscuit (and this Is a
touchy point) stayed at the top, and
beat new competition in driving
down the track ahead Of War Ad-
miral.
