There are others who feel
that some would never see the
light Of district competition un-
less the Steam district remains.
Which is probably true.
I don't know but what the f.
team district has distinct ad-
vantages over the present set
up, purely from the standpoint
of competition. There is
tendency to lay down on the
sub-district playoff because the
sub b-district champ does not
mean SO much and it does not
count on the road to greater
glory. But If that game
really meant a ticket for a ride,
the boys would give every inch
of the way. I'm thinking
now of the customers who saw
such games as last Friday, and
in every one of the sub-districts,
and shelled out good mazuma
for the ticket. On the other
hand there are types of people
to be satisfied in 20 schools.

Well, right after the pairings
were made Friday night and it was
noted that the losers were all on
one side of the bracket, talk began
floating around about a four-team
district. In fact it is not the
first time. :. There are those who
feel that losers of the sub-district
should be done-washed up. The
contention is that tournament play
is tournament play. That in all
phases Of tournament round, lose
one game out and sit out the rest.
After you've lost, they say,
you can go dancing but not play

History is Made in
Cage Journeys

History is made on the basket
ball court, and the particular brand
in this seasons district % tourna-
ment, checking with records IT
years old, is as new as a shiny
copper and as fresh as a summer
breeze.
And the big historical entity
this season Is: that for the first
time In at least Is years Glen
wood and Alexandria, who have
divided the district pie 10 years
in the last IL, are not even list
ed In district entries.
When Bertha bounced one off
Alexandria and Brandon dropped
Glenwood those clubs made his
tory. And Bertha has habit of
doing just that for in 1886 she
busted Alex off in the finals to
take her only district champion
ship. Just as it's true that Glen
wood and Alex are sitting this one
out for the first time, so it is true
that Brandon moves in for the first
time.
Records from 1923 (before that
they are not clearly available) show
that Glenwood held the tile for 5
years and Alexandria for years,
with Sauk Centre the best third
with three titles from 1925 on.
But Sauk Centre this year set
some kind of a new record, too,
when she lost to Melrose in the
sub-district finals 30 to 6. For 6
points is new low in tournament
scoring for this district. 1t is sec
onded only by Sauk Centres at
tempts in 1884 when in the district
finals, Alex dumped her 33 to 10.
1925 marked Sauk Centres first
title, and then the long 3-year per-
iod Of drouth until 1888 when she
copped and recaptured in 1889. But
in 1882 and 1884 she hit the finals.
Melrose hit her only championship
in 1880, the last time the district
was held here. Only other winners
were Wadena, Fergus Falls in 1923
and 1924. Before that records are
elusive.
It's interesting to note that in
| IIlc IL year PCA ioA oAiAy SSeSAAAs1
have held the title in this district
This year may add an eighth or a
repeat to some who haven't held il
so often. Until 1927 this district
was known as the 9th district, but
when the switch was made to the
22nd Is not clearly available.

The Sauk Centre herald., 1940-03-14

Melrose wasn't primed to turn the
heat on plenty. i. A year ago this
same gang Of boys were knocked
completely out Of the tournament
by Sauk Centre, and never reach
ed the district. The year before
s. G. knocked them out Of the dis
trict crown in an overtime furry
that rocketed Jim Pangburn to a
sensation. So what? So Melrose
really had something to give for
and she did. ..
It's more and more apparent that
in basketball "podunk" is quietly
passing. It's still true that some
small sectors still do not produce
basketball teams; and it's true that
mayhap they never will. But
the old older when a few big towns
dominated the play the rest of the
"ill-housed, ill-clothed" and i'll
coached teams stood around in awe
and made an awful spectacle of
themselves is passing-but swiftly.
You'll find every team today
with a-coach, who does not do odd
jobs such as janitoring around the
school when he is not coaching. /.
You'll find them all with good look
ing uniforms, that are cleaned
every so often. You'll find most of
them with good equipment and fine
gymns, and the protection of the
boy is paramount. 1t was ap-
parent in the sub-district that the
little guy does have a chance today
under the new order. .. And may
it reign long. :.

Odd how things go. BY its
very humiliation Sauk Centre
skidded into the primrose
path" OF course, she may
go over the boards the very
first game, since this Is written
before the district gets under
way. But that won't alter
the fact that she was handed a
pretty choice spot in being
beaten by MelrOse. 1t was
her lucky break. She's on the
side of the bracket with the
four weakest teams, and her
chances for coming through
aren't remote. That is until
the finals.

New World as an eighteen-year-
old weaver's apprentice. In those
days when our population was
thinly scattered, the Lincolns and
Masseys must have been relatively
near neighbors.
Previous, to their transatlantic
crossings the Masseys in England
had suffered as Nonconformists
to the point, it is said, of taking
their turn in the stocks for their
insistence On the right of freedom
of worship.
During the American Revolu-
ton one of Mr.. Massey's forebears
"a certain Colonel Hogan-was
aide-de-camr to General Lafayette.
In the Civil war two cousins
fought under Lincoln for the ex-
tinction of slavery. another aided
with the South and served with
Lee.
And Raymond Massey himself
was four years under arms during
the World war. A wound received
at Ypres in 1916 sent him to the
rear for time, when he was as
signed to come to America and
help train student officers at Yale
and Princeton.
1t is a matter of record that for
years Mr.. Massey has been hoping
that some top-flight dramatist
would write a play about Lincoln
so that he could play the part Of
the man whose sympathies he
shares so deeply. He had his wish
when Robert E. Sherwood, who
won the Pulitzer Prize in 1885
with Idiots Delight" began work
on his present play.
