Road Trip
Lost Two Games

A weekend road trip, that took
Sank Centres Junior College Buc-
cancers into real college camps,
proved a washout from the stand
point of winning games but was
real fun and a climax to Sank Gen.
tres first year of sub-collegiate
| ball.
Best part Of the trip for Coach
Harold Rasmussen was rejoining
classmates at Hamline and chatting
with former teacher, Coach Joe
Hutton. Hutton was impressed
with the Buccaneer team, Rasmus-
sen said, as the former basketball
pupil met the coach on even foot
ing this time.
Playing Friday evening at the
University Farm School the boys
dropped close one % to 26. Con-
key went on a rampage with Is
point high total, with Larson con-
tributing six and Deziel four points.
Miller, Rolig and Franz, for the
Farm School, lead a scoring march
that brought them to victory at the
end of the ball game.
At Hamline, where they played
the freshmen, usual scorers for the
BUGS were held tight and a low
total of IA points found them on
the short end of rs to IA victory.
Twelve men were used against the
BUGS in this game. Hamline Gag

Topping the list of the near sixty
money players is Tony Moening, OF
Melrose, who rolled for 1894. He
was followed by Albany's Clarence
Fox with an 1877.
Highlight of the tourney was the
performance of Joe WalZ, Cole
Spring, who ended in third spot
and set a new high single game
score for the Melrose alleys. Hi:
296-four pins short of a perfect
score-came as a result of clever
straight strikes. His twelfth bal

When Ernst Lubitsch signed n

produce and direct, it was part of
the agreement that he should bring
to the screen his favorite of all
stories, 1.-THE Shop Around the Cor

Street Theatre for an engagement
next Sunday and Monday.
At one time Lubitsch was going
to form his own producing COM
pany to make the film, adapted
from a play by Nikolaus Laszle
famous Hungarian playwright. He
wanted Margaret SULLIVAN and
James Stewart for his stars in the
simple and heart-warming tale OF
every day events in the lives OF
every day people, the owner and
clerks in a little Budapest leather
goods and novelty shop.
While waiting for the services OF

Final Game for
Both Teams
This Friday

A shutting affair will be held
Friday evening, March first, when
the Main Streeters and the Buc-
cancers top the seasons schedule
with the final bills.
The Main Streeters entertain
their last opponent, Montevideo,
here. The Buccaneers invade
the Montevideo Junior College
camp for a return game.
For the high school it marks not
only the end of the season, but
their last shot at a West Central
Conference opponent. At the best
they can beat Montevideo, wind up
with five games out of nine starts.
But that's the remotest of two pos
sibilities since Monte has cleaned
everything in the conference for z
straight wins. At the worst Sank
Centre can lose, stand even 4 and
4 in the conference in indisputed
fourth place. If they win, outside
of what it might do for their NOR
ale at this crucial time just before
tournament play, they can tie with
Willmar for third in the Confer
ence.
The Buccaneers aren't looking
for a serious battle with the Mon
tevideo collegiates. In an earlier
season game the BUGS literally
swamped the Monte boys with a Al
to 10 tilt.

squad played it's final game Mon
day night, dropped a 10 to 16 deci-

game schedule for the boys who'll
carry on in another year.
Out of the thirteen, the reserves
clicked out only four victories in
the unlucky 13-game string with
wins over Burtrum, two over Long
Prairie, and one over Melrose.
The point was, from the stand
point Of the coaching staff, victor
les were not all important in these
games. From the 7th grade on UP
players were used and most of
them saw service in every game.
It's the coaches way of putting the
finger on the boys with the most
promising ability. Give as many
as possible a chance to play, spare
the victory chains, and build for
another year.

glory from those lads a year

comparison based on the fact
that last year the boys played
on a winning team that out
stripped in total the sum of

don't think that this club is the
