Dethrone Conference Leaders

Rising to the heights that they had
approached many times this season, the
Ely Junior College basketball team de-
throned the conference leading Eve
leth quintet: here Tuesday evening, 80

crowd. Hibbing automatically goes into
first place, followed by Eveleth. The
standings appear in the next column.
Joe Novak, hard driving forward, put
on an exhibition that filled Ely rooters
with delight and visiting players with
gloom. Novak sank 10 pot shots and
made good on five out OF six attempts
at the free throw line to garner Is
points. Matt Mayerle, with six gift
shots out of seven tries and Milton
Stenlund with three baskets helped
keep Ely from two to ten points ahead
during most of the game.

'Butchering Day Not
Entirely q Success.

Fergus Falls-A farmer, John and
his son, Dick, noticed that the family
meat larder was running low. They de-
cided it was nice day for butchering
and went after one of the smaller pigs.
Arriving at the hog lot, the pig they
wanted was not in sight. 1t was agreed
that the animal must be in one of the
small hog houses. It was dark in there,
but the father had an idea He would
crawl in and drive the pig out. The boy
was handed a good-sized club, and was
told to hit the pig on the head when he
was forced out. John crawled into the
hog house, but could find no pig. Then
he started to crawl out, and the over
eager Dick came down with the club.
The story is that John was 'out" for
nearly three hours, but fortunately the
skull was not fractured.

ITAScA; 1854
Obtain Revenge for 27-2S Loss
Sustained at Itasca Earlier
+ in the Season.

Revenge was sweet for the Ely Junior
College basketball team, here Friday
night, when the Jaysees turned back the
Itasca Junior College. by one point,
1884, reversing the 1927 decision the
Itasea club had chalked up against them
earlier in the season.
Both clubs sank 10 baskets, but Coach
Edward T. Buckeyes squad had the
margin on the charity losses, 9 to 8.
In the last 35 seconds both teams had
opportunities of sailing the game away
by virtue of gift shots awarded them
but couldn't make the ball go through
the hoop.
With the score 1888 and IS seconds to
play Joe Fink, forward, missed free
throw, and a few seconds later Guard
Nicer of the visitors bobbled two of
them. With IA seconds remaining,
Guard Rochi sank a free throw, bring
ing the score to 1884, and as the
timers watch indicated seconds more
to play, Stanley Sustercich, forward,
missed a gift shot. The game ended a
moment later with Ely in possession of
the bail in midcourt.
Not until the final quarter had
started did Ely capture the lead that
Itasca had held up to that point. A
drive to the basket by Matt Mayerle,
guard, was good, putting the locals in
the van, 1929. Two baskets by Fink
and free throw by Milton Stenlund,
guard, accounted for the rest of Ely's
scoring, but it was enough to keep the
game in the bag. Itasca scoring was
confined to two free throws and a
basket from the center of the floor by
w. Rise, center, and a charity toss by
Rochi.
Itasca, incidentally, put on an ex-
hibition of long range shooting, the
likes of which have not been seen in
these parts during the entire season.
Rise put four of his five baskets
through from way out where most
players still think about getting up
closer. Bass, Wirtanen, and Nicer also
peppered the hoop from the wide open
spaces. -
Fink, still suffering from weak knee,
watched from the sidelines until Novak
left the game on fouls-his second trip
to the showers this year-midway in the
third quarter. Ely was behind, 1927,
but Fink Immediately hobbled up to the
free throw circle with the ball and
slipped it through for two points. That
particular basket acted like tonic to
his teammates, who started out after
the leading Itasca squad with a ven
geance.
ItaSca was ahead, 1873 at the quar-
ter; 22-16 at. the half, and 1928 as the
final stanza got under way Ely had rs
chances at the free throw line and
made nine, while Itasca made out of
10.

Speed of Animals

According to the American Mu-
scum of Natural History compila-
ton on the speed of land animals a
young buck deer is credited with a
speed of 40 miles an hour while the
wolf is recorded at SO. Deer can
outrun greyhound or whippet,
that are rated at SO miles an hour.
Cheetahs could pull down a deer
within short distance for they are
considered the speediest of all wild
animals going at least 70 miles an
hour; 80 miles an hour faster than
the record set by any race horse
and ten miles an hour more than
that attained by the pronghorn ante
lope of the West.

Floating Gardens

Like the pyramids of ancient
Egypt, the floating gardens of
Xochimilco were the whim of an
cient rulers. The various islands
were originally large mats of inter-
laced twigs, set afioat, one tradi-
ton says, to please the kings fancy.
Diamond shaped and sometimes
over 100 feet long, they were strong
enough to support fragile native
huts and small gardens of plants
and flowers.

SCREENS TOUGHEST
KILLERS In CLASH
Cagney and Raft at the
Maryland, In Each
Dawn / Die"

The outstanding TOUCHES of
screen history, James Cagney and
George Raft, are teamed in Each
Dawn l Die" a Warner Bros. pic
ture dealing realistically with life
in a big prison which will be
shown starting next Thursday at
the Maryland Theatre.
1t is a frank, grim, brutal and
tremendously exciting story to
which these two premier bad men
of the screen have lent their tai
ents and if they were tough be-
fore, they are veritable hell cats
now. Each in his oyn way out
does everything in the line of vi
cious Characterization he has ever
done before.
AT the outset of the film, the
characters portrayed by the stars
are poles apart, Cagney being
merely an altruistic and aggres-
sive newspaper reporter with not
the slightest trace of viciousness
in his makeup, while Raft is the
same hard anG callous criminal
that he seems to be until the very
end.
Their paths cross when the re-
porter is framed on manslaugh-
ter charge and sent to the STATE
penitentiary for long term. Raft,
who is big shot in the under
world, has finally been caught and
is up for the rest of his life. Re-
bellious from the outset because
of the injustice done him, Cagney
is difficult prisoner for the au-
thorities to handle.
