Half of the Sank Centre Country
Club golfers who entered the short
stop tournament at Benson Sunday
came home with wins under their
belts and others went down after
tremendous bids in their respective
flights, it was learned this week as
invitation arrived from Bemidji

Andy Mayer was End flight win

Too Hot? Think
About Football
Here's Schedule

While the country sweltered and
football coaches thought little of
their fall proteges, the nine game
season for Sank Centre high school,
with the center of interest about
the West Central Conference
games, was announced by Gene
Harvey, athletic director, Monday.
But you can't overrule the in
terest that is bound to gravitate
about such important tits as that
with Melrose, Alexandria, Osakis
and Long Prairie who have long
been standbys on the local schedule.
Sank Centre moves this sea-
son into its second year with
the Conference, with the fledg-
ling year charged up to exper-
fence and left at the bottom
heap with Benson. Included in
the Conference games are Ben
son, Litchfield, Morris, Willmar
and Glenwood.
This year Sank Centre athletics,
in an effort to provide coaching
staff equal to the task of maintain
ing a comprehensive program rid
ing through from the Junior High
school to the Junior Extension Col
lege, was reorganized with a staff
of five men.

The real tragedy Of the affair
came then. Their cries for help
were carried all over the lake. But
everyone thought it was someone
kiddingly yelling. 1t took at least
five minutes for nearby boatload
of people to realize there was troub-
lie afloat. It took another five for
them to arrive on the scene. (.
The people were rescued without
harm.

Grandfather Mountain

Grandfather mountain, rugged
eminence near Linville, N. c., was
discovered by French botanist, An
drew Michaux, who in 1894 scaled
the peak and recorded this:
Climbed to the summit Of the high
est mountain Of all North America.
and with my companion and guide,
sang the Marseillaise hymn, and
cried: Long Live America and the
French Republic! Long Live Lib
erty!'" The Frenchman's exuber-
ance was unwarranted, but the
mountain, which is 1904 feet high,
probably was the highest mountain
in America at one time. Biologists
say it is one Of the oldest mountains
in the world, possibly more than
lao, 1000, 600 years old. The mountain
is So named because from certain
angles its ridge suggests the up
turned face of a sleeping giant.

National Service Flags

During the World war of 1914
1918 few American homes were not
linked in some way to the Ameri-
can Expeditionary forces or the
training camps on this side Of the
Atlantic. Service flags were famil-
lar sights in the windows Of private
homes, church chancels and even
business offices. Service flags were
not modern symbols Of the sacrifice
imposed by war. During the six
ties the same emblem was used
by families and communities. At
the museum in the administration
building at Fredericksburg and Spot
sylvania county battlefields, Me-
mortal National park, Virginia, a
service flag Is displayed. 1t belonged
to st. Georges Episcopal church,
Fredericksburg, and bears q star
for every lad in the parish who
served in the Civil war.

Sank Centre Lost
To West Union

Sank Centre lost to West Union
Sunday in a thrilling ball game,
which was tied up in the fifth and
continued at four scores each until
the ninth, when West Union crossed
the plate with the winning run.
West Union scored four runs in
the third inning and were unable
to score again until the ninth. Sank
Centre scored first with one run
in the second inning, and came
back for two more in the fourth.
Their final run was made in the
fifth and from then until the last
Of the ninth inning the game was

John Whits0n Wins
Fans Open Tourney

John Whitson planned today,
Thursday, to be among hundreds
of fans and among nearly SO other
winners in their own clubs at the
st. Paul Open after he had won
on a draw from tying John Cotton
at the Country Clubs 18-hole medal
play that was sponsored through
the st. Paul Open Tournament run
ming at Keller golf course from
today through Sunday.
The tourney, that was one of
some so similar events throughout
the state, was known as the st.
Paul Open Fans Tournament and
to each club entering a season pass
to the tournament beginning today
was given.
Whitson and Cotton, two of
the younger players at the club,
rolled up after their Is hole
round tied with low net of 10.
Whitson won the season pass to
the st. Paul Open on the draw
when they eliminated the play
off round. Oddly is that while
both are named John, they are
cousins. Both plan to attend
some parts of the st. Paul
event.
Tremendous interest is being CEN
tered on Jim Terrier, Australians
Bobby Jones, it was announced
from st. Paul. Gallery fans have
been waiting for the play Of Ed
Oliver, who won such fame when
he was disqualified at the National
Open a month ago for staring a
round too early; Lawson Little and
Gene Sarazen, who battled 1t OFT
for the National Open; and Dick
Metz, whose 270 a year ago won
the st. Paul event.

Diamond In Safe-Keeping

According to the American Maya
zine, the late Will Rogers gave
two-carat diamond to Chief White
Eagle Of Trenton, Ill. Since that
time there have been several efforts
to steal the diamond. But finally,
the chief has solved the problem by
having his dentist set the stone in
one of his upper teeth.

Water Safety Program
Excellent Project
Adults Need It Too
Two Calf. Boys Like MINI
Represented At Aqratennial--
Visitors Day at Girl Scout Camp
Arm the Game Wardens-
Water safety fits more and more
into the Minnesota summer picture.
But the numbers Of adults
who yet defy all the rules Is sur
prisingly large. One of the worst
ways Of offending every rule is
drink on the water. !. Adults take
much the same attitude as they do
toward ice cream cones. They're
fine for the kids. So they're ex-
ceedingly willing that they're off
springs be taught to swim and
learn life saving and the simple
rules Of being in the water-and
safely. -.
But psrt q half dozen adults
out on the water In a boat and
you'd think they were aboard
the Leviathon. There are many
people who try earnestly to OBJ
serve water safety rules for
boating. But others think a
boat is a sidewalk-they want
to walk around in 1t. There
are those who will overload
boats; there are those who will
drink ON the water; there are
still those who defy all the COM
nonsense rules. :. I witnessed
from across the lake the begin
ming of q tragedy that didn't
materialize the other day. The
people had been obviously
drinking, the resort people told
us. They were across the lake
that was that evening as
smooth as the floor In your
house. There was no excuse
for accident; but the boat cap
sized. -.
The real tragedy of the affair
came then. Their cries for help
were carried all over the lake. But
everyone thought it was someone
kiddingly yelling. 1t took at least
five minutes for nearby boatload
of people to realize there was troub-
lie afloat. It took another five for
them to arrive on the scene. {.
The people were rescued without
harm.
The point is that water safe
ty, like SO many other accidents,
endanger not only ones own
neck, but involves other innO-
cent by ISLANDERS. Account af-
ter account tells how wOuld-be
rescuers have lost their lives
in attempts. Beside the
common sense rules for water
safety, there should be some
way for regulating the kind
of craft people can own for
hire. There are good
many boats on lakes that are
unfit for water travel, yet from
these tubs people collect rev.
enue from a fishing and boat
ing public. -.
On every beach these days direc-
tors school youngsters in the ways
of safety. On Sank Centres
own park beach Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
vey are schooling dozens in begin
ners swimming, others in Red Cross
life saving course, others still they
merely supervise to see that water
safety control is practiced. :. It's
been a boon to young swimmers.
Parents can feel safer about allow
ing their children to swim down
there. For in the four years
of the program not an incident has
enlarged to the accident column.
Not that situations haven't been
ripe. There were four or five last
year that might have been acct
dents. But either the supervisors
themselves-or more important, the
people that have peen schooled,
made quick work Of rescuers.

Bucky Harris of the Mats today

OF a starting assignment here in the

embarrass the Red Sox with a sue
cession of right-handers.
Withholding Chase to launch the
opening game of the New York series
at Griffith Stadium on Monday,
Bucky nominated willowy Sid Hud-

fire with Willis Hudlin and Walter

measure of success out of a lengthy
road trip which was started in fruit
less fashion.
The Mats still held faint glim-
mer of hope they would return home
with a creditable record despite los
ing seven straight games in the first
week of their journey. Since Har-
ris authored a shake-up following
those seven setbacks, the Mats. have
captured five of seven engagements
and resembled a respectable team.
