The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1939-01-12


capering courtiers, tossed of q
neat little gesture last Friday
when they gave the game to
the Firemen's convention fund
thereby listing themselves as
q community asset. But the
public wasn't impressed enough
to attend-'stOo bad. The
lads turned over to the firemen
some or Z dollars. Which
is peanut brittle when you fig
ure the whole amOunt-they
have something a little over
1900 now. But the old saying
Is as true as true when 1t goes
ON about the oak and the acorn.
All these paltry pennies
added up-give you q nice mess
Of filthy lucre. And 1 imag-
Inc the Fireladdies are thank
ful.
It was the first time your cor
respondent had seen the Indies
no, they're all natives Of this ham,
let. And it is not only correct,
but nearly compulsory, to say that
the lads have one Of the sweetest
independent combinations these
eyes have oggled in many a winter
time. s. They gotta team, not just
a couple men. s'pose some
credit is due Ray Stanton's coach
ing and his right hand bower, Dean
Kinsella, who sit on the sidelines,
all logged out. And hope none OF
the boys will fold so they can enjoy
They downed the Little Falls
Merchants-a good club, mind you
in less time than you can guess
about it. Rambling Royal Ar
Wig was on the loose with the scor-
ing honors for the evening. But
Johnny Dubois, though effective
didn't figure on the scoring end.
Funny, how these boys de-
velop. There's Kelly, not too i'm
pressive in high school, now dan
gerous man-add Walt Scanlon,
Arvig, Johnny in that bracket. q.
You know, once or twice the Mer-
chants threatened to make game
of it, but the old veterans clamped
down in short order and took the
lads.
But the old war horse isn't
dead vet. He's relegated to the
second line of attack-but he
hasn't been shifted from the
fire wagon to the milk route.
Here's what I mean. -. Pat
Dubois, you know, has been out
of school a number of years
has paunched q ittle-Or rath-
er filled out. Some IF the
bows thot Pat would slow down.
Well, he has and admits 1t. -.
But the boy is still as neat q
ball player as ever stormed
down the court. Pat used
to play the center post, tossed
of 20 to rs points, held of many
biggies-and Pat never played
college ball. The other mite
directing play from a guard
position I thought he looked
more of the ball player than 1
had ever seen him. As per
exemplum mustn't forget my
Latin), he broke the Little
Falls attack, came out of the
scramble dribblng the ball to
mid-flOOr. Kelly had gone
down with him, was under the
basket. A lineup of players
was close to the line of flight.
But a flick of the eyelash and
Pat had dashed that ball into
Kelly, who subsequently scored.
There's the strange case of
George Conkey, I've been meaning
to tell you about. George last year
got the raves as far as a natural
ball player goes. All the fans
watched Gawge in practice said,
That boy can handle himself in
the game" In spite Of that
from a forward slot he looked IN
impressive-but he was high score
man for the team during the year.
. But lofty wasn't satisfied; he
felt that a boy with that natural
ness about him should produce
more. . This year he tried him
at a guard post, shifted Larson to
forward where he's doing all right
by the by, and the transformation
has haap a wonderful thing m ha-
