six days (from Monday until
fishing season. Harold Is, re-
ferring, of course, to the trout
season. Seems to me there
were tales q year ago Of his
prowess as a trout fisherman.
But for q downright fish
erman who has the luck and Is
consistently at it, there's Mrs.
Gilbert Hansen. And don't for
get her husband too. To-
getlrer you can see them along
the Park shores in summer
casting out and having the time
of their lives. Mrs. Hansen
explains her singular love for
fishing very simply. II always
have good luck" she says.
Comes now the twilight season
in high school sports between the
dark and the daylight. Bas-
ketban and football are behind, Of
course, and the minor sports come
into play when and If spring comes.
We trotted over to see Gene Har-
vey, athletic director, the other
morning when it was showing
heavily. How about spring
sports?" we asked. Now it was
no morning to ask about spring
sports, apparently. :. Harvey gaz-
ed out the window at the flying
snow, looked back at me, and said
something to the effect that there
would be baseball and track. 4. :.
I thought he shivered a little when
he mentioned track. Those abbrev-
tied costumes and outdoors and all.
.. But it'll warm up. 49,.
In the meantime they plan an
inter-mural sports program
with basketball teams from the
various grades. At least Har-
vey said he was going to pro-
mote 1t. If it comes, it'll be
this week. It'll mark the end
of basketball in a final furry
Of aspiring grades. >.
There Is program over there
we haven't told you much about.
It's the noontime recreational pro-
gram directed for the rural pupils
Of all grades. -. Under the direc-
ton of Gene Harvey and George
Knutsen, the program functions
along very definite lines. For
the younger students, who ride the
buses each morning and evening,
there are games like ping pong,
shuttle board, even organized
games. For older ones there are,
besides these games, quieter pur-
suits in checkers and other board
games. The program embraces
more than 200, has been flourishing
since early fall. In the upper
grades for boys Is program OF
basketball with five teams playing
a round robin schedule that is go
ing at fever heat. The program
is going great guns.
Picking up more odds and
ends we find that baseball
win be I'm this spring. Prac-
tices may be scheduled for in
door rehearsals as early as next
week, Harvey indicated.
just how big q squad he may
expect and what veterans re-
turn to his crew he'll let us In
on next week or as soon as
rehearsals begin. A sched-
ule Is unavailable too. At the
spring meeting Of district 70
the schedules will be mapped,
along with other business.
Included I'm this spring meeting
is selection of the site for next
years district tournament and
appointment of sub district
According to e. w. Olson, sec
rotary Of the West Central Confer
ence, the spring meeting for the g.
team league will be held Tuesday,
April 9th. OF prime Importance
will be a report of scheduling
committee, he said. Last spring,
in an effort to work out a round
robin schedule on a practicable
longtime basis, committee was
appointed and a preliminary report
made. Upshot is that during
the winter they've worked it out,
and are ready again to make the
report. It makes a difference wheth-
err or not the league accepts the
report. If they do find 1t favor
able, it'll settle along permanent
lines the football schedules for the
conference. -.
The conference included Sank
Centre this year for the first
time, and put some interesting
cards on the local football and
