lection. She had the toughest
side Of the bracket in that she had
tough rounds every night and for
three nights hand running. Ber-
tina came up on the other side
with a night Of rest in between.
And Osakis, tired visibly in
that game, showed real champion
ship stuff when she had that extra
something that makes champions.
+. It's an intangible something
that makes real top notchers and
Osakis had 1t.
BY now all Of you are wise
to the fact that by all balloting
the best-dressed coach In the
district Is Osalds' Carl Frid-
lund. How he managed
to dress SO meticulously is quite
a thing Of wonder. I'd be luc-
Ky to shave I'm his boots for
fear I'd cut my throat. But
he had the coaches common
idiom: he chewed gum too. :.
Memories: Bill TIalos sending his
manager out to buy oranges for
his crew. Osakis going abso-
lutely berserk after that Melrose
victory. That Melrose between
half stunt Wednesday was not on
ly a fine show of craftsmanship
but a model of entertainment. :.
Give all the cheer leaders a hand
and take a memo that they put
zip-and 8. a.-into sports. :.
Tumbling acts get big hands. :.
Those Home School girl tumblers
had a real rope skipping act. 4. :.
The four gals who sang the last
night were right smart in their
long dresses and their syncopated
harmonies. Harvey Kerneghan,
Osakis faculty manager, pale
around the gills in that Melrose-
Osakis game. Most exciting
moment in that consolation game
81 to 80 for Sank Centre. And a
veritable mob scene about the Of
fetal desk as a technical flair end
ed the game. Best consolation
game I've ever seen.
There were a lot Of sweet ball
players in that tournament and
anyone trying to pick an all-district
club is going to have his own foot
in his mouth. In every posi-
ton the players are two, three and
even four deep for first choice
among most of the experts. Z.
There were a lot of little guys in
the meet who were getting the
crowds orchids. William Bluhm,
of Bertha; Vincent Runge, Deer
Creek; Dale Mielke, Of Swanville,
were outstanding among the hitler
fellows. At center you got four
top men, any one Of whom has GER
tain individual qualities but any
one of whom can be topped in an
other department by one of the
others. Hubert Meichsner, of Deer
Creek, Melrose' Lloyd Godfrey,
Sank Centres Stan Nelson, and
Osakis' Leo Hoosline all figure in
there. For boys who did work
horse roles single out Albert Gros-
ka, Bertha; Robert Wagner, Mel
rose; Donald Skoglund, Osakis;
Rodger McRae, Swanville, who was
easily the heaviest player on the
floor whose pudginess didn't stop
him from boring in. :. Add there
Morris Chase and Lowell Chase,
Deer Creek brothers. :.
But there was one boy who
really stuck in my crop and
then another who was right be-
hind him. My own nominal
ton for the best all-rOund per-
former in the district was Bob
Millner, the $50 pound strong
man from Bertha. He had
everything physically in ball
player. He was q shrewd d.
rector as captain, and he had
the uncanny mental pOise that
Is SO necessary. He ranks
as the top sportsman in the en-
tire meet in my little book. -.
When he went out to receive
the runnerup trophy, he took
