DR.. p. w. Hanson, director of
the band, was as enthusiastic for

acoustics are so good that with

With four teams already brushed
aside in elimination pairings by
Monday, a field of 16 teams stood
ready to begin battle tonight in
the first Of district 22's race in the
Minnesota State High School Lea
que, with point of focal attention
SO far as Sank Centre is concerned
on the one of four meets at Mel
rose-and a certain little inland
town by name of Upsala.
Tonight, Thursday, as other
teams In Long Prairie, Parlers
Prairie and GlenwOOd vie for
district entry, Sank Centre is
paired with q strong little club
from Upsala at 8:45, the second
game Of the session.
This week as Coach Schwartz
attempted to tune his lehman
squad to the temper for peak per-
Torrance, the game tonight with
Upsala looms as the thin thread
on which Sank Centres defenders
of a two-year district title pin their
hopes.
Once over the Upsala hump in
the road, they're in the district
race. But defeated tonight, they're
as done as a burnt steak.
"You can't underestimate Up
sala," Schwartz opined this week,
as he balanced Off the strengths of
the clubs. "They have two power
full men in Weeden and Hagstrom,
and vets Of last years campaign.
They're a second half team, and
they've shown 1t in more than one
game"
And this second half stuff he's
talking about may be summed UP
in Upsala's brilliant victory last
week. Downed by Holdingford at
the half 20 to 5, they rose up In
the best half this district has seen
in a long time, scored forty points
in two quarters and beat Holding
ford As to SO.

NSHASNN ANoo ANASAAAB ASuASVlb
 New York, Nov. 12.-(UP)-Only the truly great thoroughbred can stamp his deeds into record books from coast to coast, but this one engraved his name on a million hearts as well.
 The United Press selects as horse of the year and 1940 handicap champion-Seabiscuit.
 It would be easy to award Sea- biscuit the title on reputation or sentiment alone. Leading money winner of all time, ablestt thorough bred of his era and biggest bargain in turf history, he also endeared himself to a nation as a distinct sports personality. Hundreds of thousands of people admire him: regard him affectionately as friend.
 Title Merited
 But around the race tracks a title awarded on reputation or sen timent is hollow one. The United Press selection was based on neither. It was made only after thorough analysis of dozen conflicting claims on behalf of Eight Thirty, Challedon, Cant Wait, Isolater, Bimelech, Fenelon and Hash. When all factors were balanced, the name of The Biscuit" led the rest.
 While he started only four times and was retired before the season was three months old, he achieved more in just four races than did any hnPcn UyhA year. Too, he achieved his goals in spite of setbacks which would have been too much for a lesser horse. He was reetired early, but he left sound of limb and wind just after making his last race his greatest one. Here are the factors in his favor:
 l. With two first and a third in four stars, he earned $96 6,950-high- est sum gleaned by a members of the handicap division and the third highest won by any horse all year.
 ?. His time for the mile and a quarter route of the $1oo,o0 Santa Anita handicap was POI 1-5-one of the four fastest for the distance in U. S. history.
 3. His time for the mile and l-i6 San Antonio handicap was l:42 2-5 only two-fifts off the world record, Plenty of Horse
 4. Seabiscuit met his stablemate, Kayak II, defending handicap champion, three times and whipped him three times. He gave Cant Wait 9 pounds in the Santa Anita and whipped him by seven lengths. Yet Can't Wait twice humbled Eight Thirty and once defeated Hash in winning the Washington, Continen- tai and Butler handicaps and run ing second in four other events.
 5. Although defeated twice in four starts, Seabiscuit was given no chance ot run in either instance. He wa eased up by his jockey both times to avoid any possibility of an injury while pocketed.
 Seabiscuit was hailed as handicap championin 1897 and handcipa champion and horse of the year of 1888. In addition to winning the title again on his merits this year., he established a new all-time money record of $437,730 when he won the Santa Anita-cna "' test tri- umphs scored by any horse. H
