Stan Nelson, that long-legged,
curly-haired lad who in a single
year has carved for himself an en-
viable athletic record. has rolled up
an amazing succession of track
firsts in the low and high hurdles,
Saturday becomes Sank Centre
high schools entry into the state
meet.
It's a nice present to high school
athletic archives that this lanky
trackman has given-and there
may be more to come.
For Nelson, Unbeaten in three
successive events in both the
low and high hurdles, becomes
Sank Centres first representa-
tive in athletics at the state
meet. And this schools been
churning at the athletic mill
for some time now.
This much Stan has accomplish
ed. He's won the last three major
events in both the low and high
hurdles; is unbeaten in any COM
petition yet faced; cracked two rec
ords in the first major meet.
He earned the start at the state
post for next Saturday, May 25th,
at the University of Minnesota
track by dumping competition from
IL cities in the regional meet at
New York Mills last Saturday.
Lone entry from Sank Centre, he
copied both his events with 1853
time in the 120 high huro,es and
ISL in the 200 low.
In the district % meet he topped
competitors with 17.9 and 26.1, both
of them his worst trials. At Mon
tevideo in the West Central Con-
ference meet he did his best with
record cracking performances that
outmoded old conference marks
with a count of 1862 and 24.1.
His chances for placing some
where in the state meet are not
without possibility, it was indicat-
ed. Truth is that his best event
is the high hurdles, with a fast
track he may gamble close to that
record making mark he set up.
He admits that in both the meets
he failed to show near his old rec
ord-tracks were soggy and slow.
Stan'sh bit non-committal
though. He grins and accepts the
congratulations of others gracious
ly. He'll run his own race, and If

Smith, graduate of Winona
Teachers, last week for next
years session, 1t completed the
re0rganized program for ath-
letic direction with the fifth
man on the coaching staff. The
whole program underwent re-
organization this year with five
men on the staff and a unified
system that at once gives en-
basis to the whole program.
The theory they operate on is
that too many cooks don't spoil
athletic broth, and emphasis is
going to be given to these Jun
Tor high kids moving up. The
program should be a great boon
to replacement that up to now,
under the old system of divid-
ing the coaching talent over
various sports, couldn't be
maintained properly.

ing. Coaching generally agree the
morale of their troops is high this
spring. They're swinging into the
fundamentals with a vengeance.
New equipment with IL blocking
dummies, tackling dummies, a
charging sled is designed to whip
up the line. A card index sys-
tenn for registering the boys with
their weights is quite a checkup.
When they weigh in in the fall
weights can be checked against the
spring recording. They've got
some huskies on the crew already
and a summer ought to give them
more beef. Said Schwartz:
"The only guy on this squad who
can afford to lose weight is me
and I'll probably lose plenty.
There's a little event Friday
you might be interested in. It's
the all school play day, and the
program looks interesting. 1t

grounds at loo and at the Fair

ner and go out playing tOgeth-
er. There's doll buggy
parade for kindergarten, LIST,
2nd grade girls that might be
an event worth watching. Then
you can see these gradesters
cut capers in Httenball, races
and the like. Winners will get
ribbons and nearly 500 of these
streamers in first, second and
third places will be given out.
.. At the Fair Grounds you
can see the older students, both
boys and girls in competitive
events. Girls will have kit

Pass me the pop bottles please.
I want to get all set for the base
ball season. A week or so ago I
did the baseball team a little dirt
when said it looked like chances
for gaining league admittance of
any kind had gone up the spout.
It did look like it at the time.
An attempt at forming a new
league met with the same response
it had a year ago-it just didn't
fell. The club missed on entering
the OTW setup to the north. :.
It looked like they'd be playing in
dependent ball with no casus bel
Ii. :. But that's all different now.
Westport, West Union, Osakis, Clio
tho, Willard and Sank Centre have
banded into a six-team league that
will give the boys something to
shoot at. ). don't know who the
promoter was who launched that
league but orchids to him. >.

The thing like about fisher
men is that they're so unset
Itch nf mt
to hog the publicity. In fact
most of them are more than
anxious that the other guy get
the mentions. Frinstance
last week when Cliff Gandrud
and Al FredericksOn went down
with their boat scuttled beneath
them, did the other fellows be-
moan their publicity? They did
not. They came running in
drOves to see that Cliff and Al
got the mentions. Nice
fellows. All Of them. -.
While we're at it, there's a bit
of note on fishing. It's not too
good yet but some of the boys are
bringing them in. Ira Plummer,
dean of the &c, was going last week
to a spot that never fails" He's
told so many people that that he'll
probably lose his outfit he says. {.
You can't keep Ed Kitzberger, the
school musicman off the lake now
that the go signal is on. -.
One of the incest catches of
pike we've seen thus far is Ray
StantOn's and Ed Rathe's catch
last Thursday. They haul
ed I'm of Osalxis with one less

walleyed beauties. Stanton
was so excited he almost wound
his line around the fly wheel

calm as a cucumber-in vine-r
gar. And Bob LATERAL, the
telco man, all steamed up Mon
day morning over his Sunday
exploit. He was at Osakis and
hauled a trophy back with

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Aug. 13.-
Domestic retail deliveries of Stude-
baker cars and trucks in July were
the largest for the month since
1929, Paul G. Hoffman, president
of the Studebaker Corp, reports.
Deliveries in the United States last
month amounted to 9,00l units,
against 1916 in the same month
last year. Studebaker deliveries in
June had set a 15-year record.
Retail deliveries for the first
seven months of 1910 amounted to
5000 passenger cars and trucks,
against 45,909 in the same period
last year, an increase of 81 per cent.
Factory sales in July of 1873 units
reflected seasonal shutdown in
preparation for production of new
194le models. In July, 1889, factory
sales totaled 6,416 units. The COM
pany at that time was producing
the new Champion, which had been
introduced for the first time three
months earlier.
Total factory sales for the first
seven months of 1910 of 63,361 units
