ObIiterate Osakis
Homecoming Set

Sank Centre gridders intend to
put the Indian sign on Osakis. At
least that's the plan of the Stu
dent Council.
Plans budded this week that will
probably set an Indian motif, based
around the schools O-Sa-Ge, as the
Student Council named Osakis the
opponent October 18th as official
homecoming for Sank Centre
school, it was announced by Bob
Rattle, secretary to the Student
Council. The game is the second
of home series of three consecu-
tive tits.
Officially choosing "Obliter-
ate Osakis"-which is only
mildly terrifying slogan-as the
homecoming day theme, the
Student Council, a group of ten
of the officers of the upper
three classes, set about with an
elaborate scheme to promote
the day.
A new organization, the Council,
chairmaned by Ruth Westhoff, sec
retary-treasurer of the senior class,
has the job of bringing problems
before the student body. It's a
promotional organization on whose
shoulders has already fallen the job
of selling season tickets, now
plunges into the job of planning
Homecoming. For the school it's
the unified go-between for student
and faculty.
Homecoming week, October I'll,
will find a spirited poster campaign
decking the bulletin boards and the
halls of the school. Public too will
get it's share of the receiving end
Of the promotion, the Council prom
Used, with a bonfire and snake
dance at the Fairgrounds Thurs
day, October 10th, and another
snake dance through the streets
Friday before the game as a last
minute reminder. Thursday night
a program of speeches, pep fest
will be held after the snake dance
at the Junior high gymnasium.
Promoting the season ticket sale,
the Council moved two from it's
group, Vivian Rasmussen and DON
aid Olson to head the committee.
Miss Ada Jones is faculty advisor
for the sales.

Sig's Place, rvs
In Hot Rivalry

Hottest rivalry on the lot, with
the Central League off to a hum
ming start that gave ten high av-
erages that read like the national
debt and three of the teams tied
in first weeks play winning three
straight, was due to burst tonight,
Thursday, as the senior loop strobe
into the second week of play.
The heat-tainted rivalry Is
between Sig's Place and Irv's
Bar who meet tonight at 700
o'clock-and the match is al
most scratch with Sig's team
getting a spot of Z pins per
game.
In last Thursdays play Irv's roll
ed to a 1856 pin victory for three
games over Melrose Hotel; Jerrys'
Bar won three with 2449 score over
the Eagles; and Sig's Place with
1868 pins took three in a row from
the Greenwald Bank.
It was by far one of the hottest
openings in bowling since Rip Van
Wrinkle awoke in the Catskills and
found the little men bowling on the
green. With three teams rocking
into a tie position in the first week
and with scores that were tops for
the opening, the league looks like
it's going to be a race to the finish.
Ten high averages for the first
week give some indication of the
type of bowling the lads did: Lloyd
Blycker 1882, Mark Franta 1S9,
Art Borgmann 1872, Clarence
Nathe 1892, T. Wurst 1S1, Bob
Rydholm 1902, H. Hyydholm 1SO,
Irv Nelson It'll, Bernie Schoen-
hoff 176, Bill Benson 173.

Tenniseers Go
Tourney Wild

Set to name it's singles champions
in both men and women's divisions
by Sunday, the Country Club Ten
mis- Courts Association was plan
ming today to bring together it's
men and women members in the
finale of three tournaments this
fall that has been the most tour
ney-minded season in the history of
the recent organization.
1t was announced this week
that every effort is being made
to bring the second court, I'M
der a widely revamped program
this summer, to completion
ready for play by Sunday.
This week singles tournaments
were moving into final frames with
first round matches all played and
some of the second round pairings.
If the club gets a weather break
it's possible that both the singles
Journeys and the mixed doubles,
scheduled to open today, Thursday,
will go to completion.
In the mems singles Carl Minette
had moved through the first two
rounds with victories over Tony
Schoenhof and Shorty Brendon.
Jerry Shively had set himself up as
man to beat by winning over Rev.
Thorley Johnson in one of the best
matches thus far SO, 81. Shively
downed Frank Hoffman, cut shot
stylist, in a three set frame, SO,
4-6, and 81.
Bidding to rank too in these
semi-final clashes is Don Kringen,
whose three set combination over
Jim Thiegs, brings him to meet
Joe Schmidt, who won over Bud
Veeder. Schmidt eliminated Bud
Veeder in the first round.
In the women's division some of
the more formidable opponents
seemed to be June Ellis, left hand
err; Phyllis Pangburn, Rose Min
cite, Shirley Carpenter. But any
thing yet can happen. In second
round matches June Ellis had beat
Ruby Pacey two straight love sets;
and Shirley Carpenter had elimi-
mated Phyllis Svenneby 60, 81.
First round eliminations left in
the race this complete list for the
girl members: June Ellis, Ruby
Pacey, Phyllis Pangburn, Marion
Arneson, Gladys Kjos, Bernice

ment that two former All-American
players-Marchy Schwartz and Phil

recommendations last night and

and Bengtson line coach under
three year contracts.
Two assistants from the reign of

Jim Lawson, end coach, and Harry
Shipkey, freshman mentor.
The board also announced that
Bernie MasterSonn, quarterback of
the professional Chicago Bears for
the last five years, has been rec
commended as an additional back
field assistant for spring practice
only.
Schwartz was an All-American
halfback at Notre Dame in 1890

great Knute Rockne. Bengtson was
