Buccaneers
Play Friday

Tip off of the cage season for
the Sank Centre Junior College
Buccaneers comes tomorrow eve
ming, Friday, when Coach Harold
Rasmussen sends the second team
Of Buccaneers into competition.
Their rival is the Morris Ag-
giles, by now well known on
local college schedules. The
game is to begin at 500 at the
senior high gymnasium.
Coach Rasmussen said this week
that he was sending his squad thru
an intensive scrimmage early in
the week and then tapering GA to
keep them fit for the game.
Dean Of the college, Ira L. Plum
mer, announced the pre-holiday
schedule completed with two other
games before the turn of the year.
Next Tuesday evening, December
10th, the group meets the Brainerd
]. c. Club on the local hardwoods.
December 10Th they meet Monte
video at Montevideo. The three
games end the pre-holiday ticket
as scheduled at this point.
In the meantime while the J. G.
group were taking over the ticket
for the local fans, the high school
after its opening against Swanville
was hitting for the road. They
meet in rapid succession two West
Central Conference opponents. Fri
day night it's Benson at Benson
and next Monday, the 9th, it's Ap-
pleton at Appleton.

way Sank Centre suffered the same
fate. It outgrew its britches too.
But it points Interestingly to

written the virtual death Of the

high school experience, that will

of time for adjustemnt. -.
Without digging any deeper than
the decade just past we can catch
Pat Dubois and point to him as
one Of the type Of center Sank
Centre has turned out. . In
more recent years there have
been Jim Pangburn, one of the
all time standouts at the position
and last years Stan Nelson.
It is not entirely out own idea but

have dropped the hint from time

that's fast becoming legend; one Of
those things Sank Centre should
attempt to hold.
