Main Streeters Trailed
With Score of 7 to 2
On O-Sa-Ge Field

Two pairs Of twinkling legs be-
longing to the twin brothers Don
and Doug Langager touched off
spark Friday night at O-Sa-Ge
field that gave willmar its second
victory in three West Central Con-
ference starts when they downed
the Ray Schwartz Main Streeters
z to 2.
It marked the third loss in six
starts for the Sank Centre club,
it's second successive loss, slipped
them to 1893 rating in Conference
play and boosted Willmar to a .667
spot.
Willmar lead the ball game
all the way with spirited at
tack that flashed mainly around
this pair Of twin boys.
Sank Centre never bristled
with the spirit II had shown In
previous games. It took the
second team to point the way
I'm the opening Of the second
half when that group took Sank
Centres first first down.
Sank Centre was actually in the
ball game for five minutes. During
that time they whacked Off three
first downs-the only SUGGESTIONS
they completed in the entire eve
ning-and then begged when Lor-
inser intercepted Arneson's at
tempted pass to Paul Keldahl.
Sank Centre wasn't in this ball
game because they had no pass de-
Tense.
It was an intercepted pass that
set up the machinery for Willmar's
score. And 1t was Don Langager
who gave them the break. An at

For Britain Life
Must Go On-Morale
On High Level
LIKE AIR FORCE
Raj. England's
Savior-Brought Down
1913 Planes In Day

With accolades for the Royal Air
Force, Miss Betty French, English
school girl, in one of a series Of
letters over the past five years she
has exchanged with a Sank Centre
girl, summed up completely the
whole Of British feeling Of open de-
fiance, actual contempt for the
armed forces Of Nazi Germany.
Most recent letter arrived in
Sank Centre Saturday for Miss
Audrey Potter, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. L. Potter, who five years
ago in a seventh grade class select
ed the name Of Miss French as a
correspondent. For five years now
the letters have trooped across the
sea.
The latest was written September
10Th in Northfleet, Kent, England;
postmarked Graves End, Septem-
Der Both. It arrived unmarked by
censor's stamp.
War or no war, for this girl,
for the whole of Britain life
must 60 on. She speakers of
learning to knit, worries about
breaking finger nails that she
had nurtured to a fashionably
correct length, Is sparkling
when she tells that their An
derson air raid shelter might be
the "Ritz "if It weren't for
fathers snoring"
The Air Force is the savior Of
English morale, she said. I'VE
have had quite a lot Of visitors
from Adolf just lately. He sends
his butcher boys over to dinner, tea
and supper, and sometimes to
breakfast, bless his little heart (the
old so and SOY. He does so try
to break the morale of the English
population but oh no, he doesn't
know the marvellous spirit Of the
people over here. It's really won
derful the way the people even
those who have lost their homes
still have a CHEEKY word for you
and still carry a smile on their lips.
But still we have one consolation.
We have the mighty Air Force.
They don't run when they sight an
enemy plane, they go for them and
give them a piece Of what they
don't expect. The Raj boys can
account for bringing. down 1876 Ger
man planes and the day before
yesterday 1928 down. It hardly
sounds possible, but it's perfectly
correct" she wrote.
There have been quite a few
bombs dropped near us but thank
goodness they have not done so
very much damage up until the
present, but even so they were not
dropped on Military Detectives.
They even went as far as to bomb
a hospital full Of poor, harmless
civilians. Honestly, Audrey, I hard
ly know how the Lord above lets
such a wicked, cruel, maniac Of a
man exist.
I'VE very often have to sleep
down in the air raid shelter all
night but still we don't mind, and
It causes a bit Of laugh between
us. Our first argument Is who
shall sleep next to fathers feet
You would laugh though to see us

BERLIN, March 2 Russians are as thick as hasty pudding in the Reich's capital. There's the em- bassy staff and the military office, and the naval attaches men, and the consular people, to say noth- ing of the commercial attaches who are piling into town-and they all speak Russian, but no German.
 The German Institute for For eigners" at the University of Ber- lin, known as the best school for German language instruction in the Reich, has designated a spe- cial class and professor for Rus sian students and their language problems. Before the Russian German pact there had been no Russian pupils at the institute for years

 TAMPA = Baseball players are probably the greatest lobbysitters and trenchermen in sports.
 When they're not on the practice field at the various spring training camps throughout Southern Flor ida most of the athletes are squat ting in the soft, deep-cushloned chairs of the hotel Hobbies.
 They'll sit by the hour doing nothing but lazing around, taking shop or reading the sport pages. Managers frown on poker or ether gambling games but many players sit in on a few hands of bridge an evening. Others play bingo.
 Some of the rockies wander about the main streets. Others, partic- ularly the good-lookers, like to lean against piazzi pillar and ogle the towns pretty maidens as they mean der past. The movies get a good percentage. The hot night spots are out. Some kill time playing snuff taboo. Some kill time playing shuf- fleboard.
 Curfew At II
 Most managers object to swim ming and many ban golf. Some hermit an occasional fishing trip. Eleven o'clock is usually cur1eW hour
 After practice the players are raV- enous and-since the club IS footing the bia--they stow away meals that would choke the average man. Most of them go in for steaks.
 The rockies and younger regu- lars get huge kick out of the spring trips. It's an old story to them After a winter of loafing It isn't much fun to start work again and their muscles ache for the first week or so Most of them like it, though.
 After all, six warm weeks in Flor ida with all expenses paid is hard to beat
 Many struggling players bring their wives and children to train ing camp, although certain clubs object. ome managers allow play

CTS to rent cottages and live with their families while others require them to stay at the players hotel.
 Most wives have good time. It's a vacation and change of seen cry. Spring training is lark to the young brides making their first trip. Many wives attend the ex- hibition games. They sit in the front boxes and have gossipy good time.
 A Lark To Some
 These Gulf coast towns are a perfect paradise for those girls who like fishing, swimming, golf and tennis. And, of course, whenever four get together there's bridge. The girls generally get along together pretty well although an occasional feud breaks out.
 The wives whose husbands are getting up in years as players go arc often jittery. They cast a cold eye on the young rookie who IS try- ing to oust their hubby from the regular lineup. It's like stab in the back to them when the rockies double scores the winning run in an exhibition tilt.
 They begin to vlslon the bush leagues again. The meager salaries and the long, dusty coach jumps by trains or the bus rides. Many play CTS. not realizing that their careers will be short, often spend up to the limit of their salaries. Then, when the day comes that they must start the downhill trail to the mi- nors and eventual oblivion, they arc not prepared for it.
 That's when the wives begin to wonder where the money is going to come from to buy them new fur coats, to send Johnny to prep school, to pay for Sarahs dancing lessons. That's when older wives get on edge, going through these weeks which are to tell whether their hus- bands can hold on a little longer.
