Coach Smrekar Can See
Only Tough Going Ahead
Faces Knotty Proposition ir
Developing a Winner for
Basketball Campaign.

There's plenty of tough going ahead.
That's what Coach Steve Smrekar
undoubtedly thought as he looked over
the prospects for his 1940-41 Memorial
high basketball team.
Coach Smrekar saw four lettermen,
10 pretty good prospects, and % be-
ginnerS, not sight to make any coach
wax confident. Yes, there will be
plenty of tough going ahead.
The quartet of lettermen, all sea-
soned campaignerS, will be called upon
to bear the brunt of the burden for
coming through with the wins. They
include Albert Rowe, center, Roy john
son and Ed Grahek, forwards, and
Lloyd Bird, guard. Ed Hutar, another
sc" winner last season, has announced
he will not play basketball this winter.
Among the prospects, who must be
in trim by the time Eveleth opens the
season here Nov 90, are Al Logar, a
forward, and Ed Chachich, who has
been alternating at forward and CEN
ter. They have been receiving special
attention from Coach Smrekar.
Eight other boys, Jack Klobuchar,
Stanley Mestnik, Martin Starkovich,
Don Prola, Keith BroWnell, Louis
Senta, William Rowe, and George
Perkovich, to date show the most
promise of making the first squad when
cutting time comes.
Many of the boys out for basketball
were on the football squad, so they are
in the pink of condition. Nightly
workouts are being held, and it Won'1
be long until the starting five vii
be picked out. Two weeks OF hare
work, however, lie ahead before they
can go into action.

ball include Joe Kuzma, Roland Bren'

Speed too great for conditions is the
greatest single contributing cause of
automobile accidents. When tempted
to drive too fast, ask yourself, what
will you do with the few minutes saved
when you get there? Weigh that
against the possibility that you may
not get there at all-may reach hos
