Askov Public Schools

On Thursday morning, March g.,
before the team was to leave for the
district tournament at Pine City, the
high school students met in the
gymnasium to give them a send-off.
The four cheer leaders, Mavis Con-
away, Delpha Petersen, Emily Feldt-
NOSE and Esther Thomson, led in
school songs and yells. A short play,
Good Sportsmanship on Trial." was
presented by several freshman stu
dents.
The seniors spent two hours Mon
day, March Is, writing their college
aptitude tests. These examinations
are for the purpose of classifying
students prior to their entrance into
higher schools in Minnesota. By TAX
ing them now, the students are ex-
empt from taking them when they
enter the college. AS the examina-
tons are prepared by the Minnesota
College Association, the results are
available to any Minnesota college
which is a member of this group.
The additional examinations in this
series will be written later in the
week.
Winter again showed its teeth
Tuesday, March IA, with such force
that school was dismissed at $50 a. m.

flying colors to emerge the new dis
trict Is champion in basketball.
Moose Lake took second place, and
third was won by Taylors Falls over
Hinckley.
There was triple upset in the first
round. The first was when Hinckley
tripped Askov 38 to 81. Askov did
not seem to be in the best working
order" and went down to a fighting
group of boys from Hinckley. North
Branch easily rolled over Sandstone
in the other afternoon game. The
score was 38 to Is.
In the evening Moose Lake sprung
an upset over the defending cham
pions from Lindstrom-Center City.
The game was hair-raiser with
Moose Lake holding the lead most
of the time. The final score was
"a to 81. Barnum was way off it's
usual form in its game with Taylors
Falls and lost Is to Is.
In the semi-fnals Moose Lake de-
feated Hinckley 80 to 20, and North
Branch took Taylors Falls 33 to IT,
The consolation score was 80 to 20,
Taylors Falls over Hinckley.
North Branch had comparatively
easy time stopping Moose Lake in
the finals, "a to ID. North Branch
won all of its games easily, and all
the district hopes that they will make

meet at Hibbing. North Branch will
play Chisholm Thursday night,
