Spooks is quite a hunter. Spooks
is the dog Of Joey Jackson, Sun
day the two were out on Osaks
Lake. Joey never got a shot.
But they came home that night
with birds. Spooks had rounded
up a flock of cripples. The only
duck that Joey got near was a
readhead that ducked under the
water. Joey walked over to the
spot, set his booted foot down, and
on the ducks neck. He reach
ed down to pick it up, raised his
foot at the same time. He came
up with exactly four feathers in his
hand for the trouble. -.
West Central Conference foot
ballers move into heat perform
ances now with top notchers about
to put the squeeze on each other.
For games in the next two
scheduled appearances will make or
break those top notch lads.
It would appear that all but the
top three-Montevideo which hangs
to its game lead over both Will
mar and Morris-are out OF the
championship race. But this
three way race can be interesting.
Morris has but one to go yet,
and that one at second to bottom
runger Appleton. That game Is
previous to Montevideo's play. The
same date, this Friday Willmar
meets Glenwood, third from the
bottom of the list. Each OF
these two are in a position to tie
with top notch Montevideo.
All of which leaves Morris in a
sweetheart of a spot to come out
second, but prohibits her from get
ting first. It falls to either Will
mar or Montevideo which big boys
meet each other November 10th In
what will be the title go. But
even though it Is the title round,
one of them faces the possibility
of winding up in third spot in
stead of second with dangerous
Morris about to move into the
next to the top rank. >. The above
logic applies only if games are US
ed as basis. Otherwise it may
be tnree-Way Tie.
On this conference race there's
been a revision of our understand
ing of Sank Centres, newest to
join the group, position. Her games
do count in standings, and they
go further or retard the standings
of those meeting her this year.
In this instance, she's lost all
three furthering the standings OF
Willmar, Morris and Glenwood. &.
But because she couldn't qualify for
a minimum amount of games with
conference teams, Sank Centre
could not win the championship
this year-even if there were any
danger. Prevalent thought ear
lier was that conference games
entered into with the local club
had neither a favoring or retard-
ing flavor for her opponents, net
ted her no standing.
On the bottom rung, Sank Cen
tire with all her conference games
done, has yet chance to wind up
in a tie for the basement. That
is contingent upon Appleton's game
with tied-for-second place Morris
this Friday. 1. If Appleton loses,
she winds up with the same losses
as those sustained by Sank Centre.
What kind of new lease on
life Glenwood took last Friday
isn't definitely known. But Coach
Bob Carlson must've given the boys
a shot of something or other. In
the first half their spirit wasn't
high enough to be half mast; but
in the last they rugged out to full
furl. And they took over that
ball game in those last two per-
iods. With no conference wins
and four losses, a loss to Sank
Centre would have plunged them
deep into the cellar of the confer
ence. To lose to Sank Centre. new
est team in the conference, would
have been tremendous loss of face.
For it would have showed Sank
Centre into the third from the bot
tom spot instead of Glenwood. /.
And the loss would have made
Glenwood definitely bottom rung-
ers. 1t was probably that
thought that hit the lads at the
half. -.
To get over on the bowling front
that is still in its infancy so far
as the Melrose merchants league
is concerned, we find Sank Centre
in great revival of the sport. +. :.
