LADY Luck Just won't associate With

Four times if she had been around

Again turning up her nose disdair-

she passed right by Coach Barney Bank

minute win.
Only a point or two separated the
clubs throughout the game. Ely
spotted a one-point lead at the end
of the initial quarter but was behind
four points at half time and also four
points as the final stanza started.

field, to take over MS new position, DR..
Strunk has the background necessary
TO administer his work in an efficient
manner Turned over to him was a
thick stack of suggestions designed to
conserve and improve the states re-
sources solicited by Governor Stassen
preceding the appointment.
A native of Minnesota, DR.. Strunk,
thirty-seven years old, married and with
one son, was born in New Uln, where
his father was blacksmith. He at
tended grade schools there, South high
school in Minneapolis, and received
his bachelor and master Of science de-
grees from the University of Minnesota.
He received the degree Of doctor of
science from the University of Wiscon-
sin and did further work at the Uni
versity Of Michigan.
Dr. Strunk specialized in geology,
zoology, natural history, chemistry,
botany, and economic geology. While
attending the university he spent two
summers on the Minnesota Geological
survey in St. Louis and Cook counties
doing work on magnetic deposits. He
did research in natural history at Micfi-
gan university under the Hinsdale Re-
search fellowship.
He was chief chemist and assistant
superintendent of the Ford Motor Co.
glass plant in St. Paul for two years,
and headed the chemistry department
at the North Dakota State School at
Wahpeton for a year. He headed the
department of biology and health at
Luther college, DEBORAH, Iowa, for L
years before coming to st. Olaf college
last fall
While at Luther college, Dr. Strunk
did field work for the Iowa Conser-
Walton Commission on game conser-
walton areas on ruffed grouse and musk
rats in the Mississippi river bottoms and
on preparation Of Iowa's twenty-five
year conservation program. j. N. Ding"
Darling, nationally known conserva-
zionist, was a member of the Iowa COM
mission at the time. DR.. Strunk also is
member Of the board and lecturer
for the American School of Wild Life
Protection and has lectured and written
extensively on conservation.
The impressive summary Of DR..
Strunk's education and experience en-
inently justified Governor Stassen's
statement in announcing his appoint
ment: st believe that Dr. Strunk's whole
background fits perfectly into the kind
of program that will result in an out
standing development in conservation
in Minnesota"
One field in which Dr. Strunk seems
to be woefully lacking is in that of
partisan politics-which thousands Of
Minnesotans who are keenly interested
in the states conservation program viii
hail with delight
DR.. Strunk has mapped out in CO.
operation with the governor sixteen
important detectives. Among them are
development Of a long-range conserva-
ton program, with definite objectives
to be achieved in certain periods;
enlistment Of game wardens, forest
rangers, park employees and other en-
ployees in the general conservation
program in addition to special duties;
pomotion of forest farming in northern
areas and strong educational program,
with Minnesota Conservation Volun-
teers," made up of citizens pledged to
assist IN conserving and improving the
states resources

ELY BOWS TO
GILBERT five
Montgomsrymen Give Local
High Quintet Its Worst
Drubbing of Year.

Folding UP in the second half as
completely as a shrapnel-punctured
balloon, the Memorial high school
basketball team suffered its worst
beating of the year here Friday night
at the hands Of Gilbert, As to q.
Sporting a 1915 advantage at half
time, Ely appeared to have an even
chance Of upsetting their talented Mes
aba range foe as the second canto
started. But disaster came with the
opening whistle, and as the third quar-
ter ended the AIontgomerymen had
changed the tide Of battle completely,
holding a 1920 lead
This weekend Coach Steve Smrakar
and his crew will literally Jump from
the frying pan into the fire when they
travel to International Falls for an
engagement with the Border City,
Friday night.
Repeatedly Boosting one Of the tallest
/ teams in the district, the Falls boys
have been defeated but three times,
/ losing 10 Virginia, Biwabik and Aurora
BY margins Of from four to six points.
They hold wins over Tower, Mountain
Iron and Eveleth.
It has been many years since Ely
has defeated the Border City on its
/ home court, with not much more Of
a chance OF breaking the famine this
/ year.
Just what happened in the last half
Of the Gilbert frey to debate the Ely
club is matter of conjecture. 1t
might have been that the boys just
couldn't stand the pace for several OF
them have been III off and on for a
couple Of weeks. During the initial half
/ they gave the visitors little more than
they bargained for, and the Gilbert
crew went to the dressing room at hall
time not little perturbed over the ad-
vantage that Ely held.
Perhaps it was the pep talk that
Coach Montgomery delivered that made
the change as the clubs again took the
floor Bozich, whom Willie Grahek
and Ted Grahek had held to eight
points in the first half, really went tc
town during the third period. This boy
has a 15-point advantage per game
boosting it. some by his p points for the
Ely contest.
Lloyd Bird with three baskets and
two free throws was high point man
for Ely. Albert Rowe again started
the game at forward opposite Pau
Prola and Ted Grahek was Birds
running mate at guard. Willie Ora
hex started at center
The first half was mostly Ely's as
the boys outplayed the Montgomery
men. Rowe, W. Grahek, and Prola
all muffed numerous chances under the
basket, apparently because they were
little too anxious, or Ely might have
held five or six basket margin at hall
time. The second half, however, was
an entirely different story as the Gilbert
steam roller smashed all opposition.
Gilbert tried So shots from the flool
as compared with A for Ely. Fou
members of the formers starting line
up, Podpeskar, Bozich, Lousovich anC
Eggar, were on the first string that
went to the state last year.
