MERMEN take
3RD STRAIGHT
Give Eveleth Only One Event
to Win Easily; Travel to
Hibbing, Saturday.

The boys swimming team of Men,
orial high ran its consecutive wins to
three, Saturday afternoon, in the local
pool by whipping Eveleth, 471s to
1917.
Ely made a clean sweep of every
event except the 100-yard free style
which went to Kaiser of Eveleth. Even
in the free style relay a team COM
posed most of second string paddlerS
came through with win.
This coming Saturday, however,
Coach Ed Haapaniemi won't have such
an easy time of it and undoubtedly
his reserves will spend the afternoon
warming the bench for the team has
an engagement to keep with Hibbing.
The talented mermen from the Iron
Ore Capital aren't to be trifled with
much less in their own pool In a
previous meet they easily downed the
Ely paddlers, So to IA, in Memorial
pool. But that was before Eugene
McCarty joined the squad. McCarty's
presence doesn't mean that Ely has any
more of chance to take the potent
Hibbing stars, barring an upset, but
the score for Ely should be consider
ably larger.
The meet with Eveleth was the last
home appearance for this season. Be
sides travelling to Hibbing, the boys
will go to Coleraine and Virginia.

Game With Wisconsin Five Up
Saturday; Drop Thriller
to Hibbing.

Reminiscent of last years battle on
Memorial court, which Ely dropped by
a few points, Saturdays game between
Hibbing and the local Junior College
was lust as hotly contested and again
the Cardinals slipped through with a
win by a narrow margin, this time AZ
to 40.
Practically everything that could
happen at a basketball game took
place at this one, and when it was all
over the spectators, the players, and
the officials were as limp as a soggy
dish rag. One of the officials lost
seven pounds, and there undoubtedly
were plenty of other people who
dropped considerable weight also.
Hibbing's accuracy on the free throw
line proved the deciding factor. Coach
Barney Banks crew sank 16 baskets to
IA for the Cards, but the latter marked
up IA free throws to for Ely. Hibbing
missed 9 and Ely bobbled Is.
Ironically enough the local Jaysees
could have tied up the game via the
free throw line in the final seconds,
sending it into an overtime, but they
failed Carroll, Cardinal center, fouled
Al Banks, forward, with about 20 sec
ends remain. Banks, who is usually
pretty accurate on charity losses, was
not equal to the occasion this time and
muffed his first two attempts. The
second he didn't try to make, keeping
the ball in play so that the club could
still have a chance at knotting the
count through a field goal. A wild
scramble for the ball consumed the
remaining time after it had bounced
off the blackboard.
Ely will get another crack at Hibbing
Friday night, when their schedules
call for a return engagement at the
Iron Ore capital. With the memory
of what happened here so fresh in
everyone's mind, the return game will
probably be just as hard fought.
Saturday night, Ely will renew hos
tilities with Northland College of Ash
land, Wis, on Memorial court at s
o'clock. Coach Banks one victory was
scored over Northland, As to Sc. The
boys worked in great style to down
a team that ranks right up with the
best in the Northern Junior College
conference. The best Eveleth could
do was to trim Northland by 8 points,
while Itasca eked out a win by / point
last weekend. Both of these clubs have
whipped Ely.
Local fans can be assured of another
wild and woody fight, Saturday, one
from which they can expect their
moneys worth several times over
There wasn't any doubt about the
paying customers getting their two-bits
worth in the Hibbing game Ely went
into 1919 lead at the end of the
initial quarter with Joe Novak, for
ward, scoring all the points for his
team. AT the termination of the first
half, Hibbing had reversed the situa-
ton, holding 21-20 advantage.
Ely's defense and offenSe begged
