GAYLORD Sf SHARES Role
OF F avorite as Cards
Launch Drive Tonight
SPRINGFIELD is FIRST
FOE; LAMBERTON TO
BATTLE NEW ULM

It's stock bolStered by out
standing performances in the
sub-district tournament, Gay
lord shares the spotlight with
Redwood Falls as co-favorites
of the district ten tournament
getting underway at the high
school auditorium this after
noon.
Gaylord had plenty of trou-
BILE with an inspired Morton
team in it's first game of the
preliminary meet but once
underway, bowled over a cap
able Franklin outfit with lit
tie difficulty. Redwood fans
who saw the sub-district finals
left the gym with a feeling the
finals Saturday night, providing
neither team is upset along the
way up, will really make basket
ball history.
Met Last Year
Last year Gaylord eliminated
Redwood Falls 19 to 13 in a first
round game in which the Cardin-
ais had innumerable shots but
found it almost impossible to con-
meet. That Gaylord team went on
to the finals where it gave New
Ulm plenty of trouble before the
Brown county five took its second
straight title.
It was John McGraw and it will
be Johnny again Saturday, if the
teams get that far, who caused no
end of trouble. A natural player,
he is not only good at guarding,
passing and shooting but has COOL
ness and knack of inspiring and
leading his teammates seldom
found in high school players.
Gaylord is. playing Sleepy Eye
this afternoon in the opening dis
trict game. The Sibley boys are
favorites to take the encounter in
stride. probably with eeyeral
baskets to spare.
Cards Play Tonight
First game on the schedule to-
night matches Echo, the other
sub-district winner and Fairfax at
7. The teams have not met this
season but on comparative
scores basis, Echo has the edge,
besides having had weekend of
tournament experience. Dopesters
generally favor Gaylord and Echo
to come through, with Gaylord a
favorite to take the semi-finals
game Friday at 8 p. m.
Center of interest in today's en-
counters are the lower bracket
contests, Lamberton VS.. New Ulm
at 8 and Redwood Falls VS..
Springfield at 8.
Redwood Falls has beaten
Springfield twice this season by
large scores and with fair success
in shooting, should come through
this engagement with points to
spare. However the margins in
previous encounters have given
rise to over-confidence which
gives Coach Zimmerman some
worry. His problem this week
has been to keep his players con-
centrating on the game ahead,
rather than thinking of district
final or regional foes several
games away.
Lambs Dangerous
The Lamberton-New Ulm game
is toss-up although New Ulm
has won twice from the Lambs in
games during the season. Lam
