Short shot: Sank Centre high
school this week applied for en-
trance into the league to the south
and west that includes Glenwood,
Benson, Morris, Willmar, Litchfield
and Appleton. They await de-
cision of the conference committee.
F.. That gang would make some
dandy football and basketball tus-
sizes.
It's a 465-point season team
that goes into the tournament
play defending for Sank Cen
tire. While opponents thru
out the season have grabbed of
total of 446 points. That's
close squeak, but it's significant
of something I want to point
out. Sank Centre has averag-
ed only slightly more than n
points per game. -. Extensively
1 can't give them top billing
on that rating. -. A team to
beat tournament play should
have an average of 35 points
per game.
But here's the angle. While Sank
Centre held below a 80 point av-
erage, altho in one stretch after
Christmas they averaged "a points
per game, their opponents too have
been held to an average slightly
less. :. Only in isolated instances
have teams been able to hit near
or above the forty mark. Blat-
ant examples are st. Cloud Tech
and Osakis who each scored A
points. No other opponent got
more than "a points in any one
game-and that team, Glenwood,
was defeated when the locals took
38. On the other hand the loo
ais have stretched hard toward 40
points but never reached it during
the entire season. -.
That tells two things. That Of
fensively the boys are more lax
than they have business to be. And
defensively they rank with any club
in the district. And I think
this defensive play may count for
something. Fl. When you play
teams that are used to running
high scores, and hold their tempera-
lures down to a normal stride,
you've accomplished something de-
fensively. Kringen, adjudged
the best defensive guard Of the
crew, has aided in that nightly
with his bottling of high scoring
aces in several teams. /. a.. And
the factor that Ethun, Conkey and
Pangburn are tough under the Of
fensive bucket is still another de-
fensive factor. -.
In the entire season not many
Of the teams have made a per-
centage of baskets on rebounds.

Game birds and the little warb-

ports float in that Phil the Pleas
ant is busily scratching gravel from
the plowed out roadways. One re-

the other day. That points to
one thing. He's hungry and needs
feed. From all over the state pap
ers are carrying stories showing
sportsmen's clubs carrying on feed
ing. Some are buying a ton of
feed per month to sustain the game
birds.
I don't know that any such
program has evolved here. The
need is pressing. Heavy SHOWS
this season, that are greatest
since SO, have covered with feet
of snow the natural habitat
and feeding grounds for these
birds. You remember what
1885 did TO them. Pheasants
are an imported bird, and there
are some who believe that with
such rigors of winter as we en-
dure in these parts, the specie
cannot last. >. They advocate

Of feathered game life. -.
At any rate the need for feed Is
here amongst us again. Local
sportsmen, who like the birds well
enough in the fall, should see that,
if there are feeding efforts now,
they are supplemented with more
and more feed. = Harold Gray
pointed out that he saw many
pheasants along the road scratch

VIGOROUSLY as tough on the re-

Then there Is this. Sank Centre
started slow Extensively. Both as
far as the season itself goes; and
so far as each individual game is
concerned. In checking my
notes I find that way long in the
season they finally ripened to the
fact they could score rebounds un-
der the basket. In each game,
they were wont to go Extensively
sour for the first half. It is not
that these lads cannot score.
Against Glenwood they swished in
buckets at the rate of 21s points
per minute in the third quarter.
They have offensive drive and to
spare when the going is tough. {.
What the wonder is: will these lads
consider the going touch from the
opening whistle in the tournament
play.
It's not that they're lazy, but
they play cool, deliberate ball to
forestal early scoring of the
other team. And you can see
from the average of scores of
other teams, that it has paid
long run dividends. The
trouble in the tournament Is
that there is no long run pay
of. Each game is a little
season all by itself. You win
it, or you got to get out quicker
than a bird on the wing. -.
All thru the season, Toftness and
his boys have had their eye on a
star that has grown brighter and
brighter. But it's a Pickering,
tickle light that may be blown out
by the breath of a single game. &.
They've eyed the tourney. The
same boys that won it last year
are today a much better team, but
they don't rate in the dark horse
class anymore. They're favorites
and on top; and as such enjoy the
pressure that attaches itself to such
prestige. -.
If seasonal games were lost,
it was the thought in mind
there's another coming up. Well
do it differently. So they grew
in stature and prospered. :.
But in the tournament it's all
over. The star to look at
are those boys on the same
court in different uniforms. Not
a game or two ahead. -.

Eying individual scoring records
shows Pangburn in high position
with ia points for the season, Con-
key second with S3, Ethun with 70,
Larson in fourth bracket with 81.
F.. There's a few angles here.
Pangburn is erratic. He mounts
to the heights with %, and sinks
to the depths without a tally. Omit
ting the two high marks that av-
eraged 20 points; Pang's average is
about points per game. Con-
key has been more consistent as
have Larson and Ethun. =. There's
no soaring in these lads, but steady
scoring Of a few points each game.
. -. But the thing about Pang is
if he starts hitting the old tally
is going to boil over. If he doesn't
you can count on him for a few
buckets anyway. In fact scoring
throughout has been nicely divided.
Brown, playing only a few games
regular, totaled 80 points jackson
got %; Kringen 80: aildebrand 10.
There Is this factor. No sin
gle scoring star can be watched
and stopped. If Pangburn is
bottled there's all the danger
in the world that Ethun, Con-
key, with canny eyes for the
bucket, may start dropping
longs, or Kringen and Larson
driving in. Or Brown pop

200 Athenio Survivors
Scatter Toward Homes

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, Sept. IA
R.-With vivid memories Of mar
row escapes at sea still fresh in their
minds, more than 200 survivors of
the British liner Athena, brought
here yesterday by the American
freighter City of Flint, scattered JOY
fully toward their homes today.
1ll-clad and unnerved, some sur
vivors left this Canadian port by
boat, some by train and others by
airplane and automobile. Some re-
boarded the City of Flint when it
left on 48-hour run for New York
last night. One man sped toward
New York on a Coast Guard cut
ter to keep a speaking engagement.
Tales of hysteria were set off by
tales of high courage as the sur
vivors, many of them Americans,
reached port on the freighter after
days of crowding on a vessel with
accommodations only for a small
crew.
