LAMBS EAGER FOR
UPSET WIN FRIDAY
d TRACY, HUTCH, OLIVIA,
SPRINGFIELD ARE
NEXT OPPONENTS

Lamberton and Springfield of
the tenth, Tracy of the ninth and
Olivia and Hutchinson of the
twelfth district will be opponents
of the Cardinals in the next Is
days as final preparations are
rushed for the tournament season,
now just around the corner.
Lamberton is first on the list,
coming here Friday night with
some hope of revenging an early
season drubbing by the defend
ing district champs but what is
more important to both teams, to
test the Lambs chances in that
first round game of the district
tournament to be played on the
New Ulm High school floor. If the
Lambs can win or even come
close, there'll be no doubt about
that first night crowd at the
tourney-it'u be a sell-out to
Lamberton and Redwood Falls
people intent on seeing a finish
fight.
Next week two inter-district,
Little Ten matches face the title
determined Cards, a Tuesday
night encounter at Tracy when
| the Scrappers will attempt to
prove the trouncing they took
over here was all a mistake and
Hutchinson game, at Hutch,
which will probably find the
Cards getting many of those bas-
kets they needed so badly when
the Hutch lads nosed them out of
the regional meet last spring.
Hutch had a bad season last year
then squeaked through its dis
trict and the region event to 60
to the state tourney. This year
the material is said to be greener
end the seasons been worse-but
over here we've learned to take
any Hutch team seriously.
And the week after-winding
up a busy season - Springfield
comes February 81 for the game
which will determine whether
that first game was freak or
whether the Sauer Kraut squad
Is really dangerous and Olivia
comes March l for the first cage
encounter between the schools in
several seasons. Olivia has one of
the better teams Of the twelfth.
Together for the first time in
several games, Redwood's old
starting five, Duea and Dick
meier, Lang, Hoffman and Stems
vad, started the New Ulm game
Friday night on the district tour
ney floor and found the sur
roundings and company much to
their liking as they breezed
through to a 80 to 16 win-by a
coincidence, the same score as the
New Ulms game here last month.
Diekmeier broke the, scoring
ice and with Duea's three points,
the count was to l at the quar-
ter. Lang and Duea potted shots
! to make it 8 to l before Olson got
the Eagles first nest egg. Stems
vad, Lang, Duea and Diekmeier
added to the total which stood at
90 to Z at midpoint in the strug-
gle.
joStorts, Young, Hustad, Otto and
Ingiis played all the third quar-
ter and proved an excellent de-
fensive combination for the per-
iod ended without a New Ulm
point. Otto and <>Hustad mean
while contributed basket each
to make the totals "a and 7.
The Eagles had better luck in
the final frame against the second
string, scoring eight points to

Schwartz and Alvin Schwartz of
Willow Lake, defendants in a suit
brought by Mrs. Peter Meyer also
of Willow Lake, for the value of
house burned December %,
1888 was filed this week by Dis
trict Judge A. B. Gislason with
Frank Baldwin, Redwood county
clerk of court.
Mrs. Meyer rented a 100 acre
farm to Ben Schwartz and his son
Alvin in March 1896. While an
other son, Eldor Schwartz, was
occupying a house on the tract,
the place was completely destroy
