The second quarter opened fast
with Main, Rose and Aarthun
scoring at once. Hoffman and
Duea tied the score with baskets
and Lang put the Red and White
one ahead on a gift toss. Vogel
entered the game for Main and
scored at once, followed by Rose
with a long shot to end the half
with the Cards on the short end
of an 1915 score.
Lang's two buckets at the OPEN
ing of the second half put Red
wood Falls ahead again. Main
scored seconds later, then Dick
meier got a bucket to tie it up
again. Wachs scored on a foul by
Lang, then Duea popped one from
under the net. Main and Rose
scored in quick succession, then
Lang dropped another shot and
Duea added one more point on a
foul and the third canto ended
with Redwood trailing 27-26.
Duea put the Cards ahead in
the final period with a tip-in shot,
then added long shot which
trimmed the net and bobbled in.
Free throws by Duea and Dick
meier with but a minute and a
half to go cinched the game.
Tracy poured a barrage of shots
at the net in the final minute but
only one offering counted.

TIMELY BASKETS
VICTORY FIVE WINS
1922 TO AVENGE
EARLIER SETBACK

Redwood Falls High school nos
ed out the Tracy High five Tues
day night at Tracy in a tilt that
was anybody's game up to the
final gun. The margin was three
points, 80 to 20.
This victory marks the second
defeat of the Scrapper five this
season and the second time a
Zimmerman-coached team has
beaten a team under the tutelage
of Chef Raasch. The game was
fast and rough the full four
quarters with the Scrappers COM
hitting the majority of the in
fractions.
Dropping from the splendid
average at the free toss line last
week, the Cards netted only six
out of Is gift throws while the
Tracy squad got one out of five
tries. Raasch's men piled up Ia
field goals to Is for Redwood
Falls, so the margin of victory
can be chalked up to free throws.
Tracy opened the scoring with
Wachs and Rose getting buckets
in the first minute. Lang scored
first for the Cards on a foul by
Wachs, then Duea dropped a long
one for the first Cardinal field
goal. Donaldson scored for the
Scrappers, then Lang scored
twice. Rose popped the next one
and Hoffman evened the count
with free toss. Stensvad's buc-
ket put the Cards ahead at the
quarter 1913.

TRACY, ESKO PLAY
IN SAME BRACKET
TRACY INDEPENDENTS
WIN 44-4O FINALE
OF MEET HERE

Tracy and Redwood Falls, win
ner and runner-up in the tourna-
ment for independent teams held
at the armory here last week,
will compete with II other quints
representing communities throu-
ghout Minnesota in a state tour
nament at the Minneapolis arm
DRY Friday, Saturday and Sun
day.
Both fourth district teams play
their first games Saturday, the
Tracy quint drawing Esko at 2
p. m. and the Holmberg five
playing the Northern All-Stars
from Cass Lake at 3 p. m. Star
OF the All-Stars is Buzz Gray, all
state man who played at Hamline
when Wallace Zimmerman was
assistant coach there.
Tracy won the tourney here by
a A to 40 margin when the Red
wood quint slowed down consid-
erably in its third game of the
day. Redwood climbed to the
finals by beating Renville "a to
81 Thursday Afternoon and elimin-
ated the fast Bird Island team
SO to 20 in the semi-final round
that evening. Tracy came up in
the smaller bracket and was COM
paratively fresh for the finals,
having played Hendricks in a ST.
"a overtime encounter in the af-
ternoon and then rested during
the extra fracas.
Both teams were more for
tunate in the state meet, having
been drawn in the smaller brack-

game of the season, should go I'M
der by % points, if the crystal
ball isn't kidding.
Picking Sub-district winners
this way is a cinch - until the
tourney starts.
In the A bracket, Winthrop has
the high rating of 81. If the play
erS understand and observe the
mathematical method of play,
Echo (47) will drub Gibbon (39)
and in turn will take BelvieW
(3O) to reach the finals. Mean
while Winthrop (57) will have
whipped Morton (34) and Gay
lord (49) and will quiet the Echo
ties by ten points-according to
the TT seer.
Morgan is slated for fully as
easy a time in the B bracket, its
rival in the finals being Franklin.
Franklin (54), so the tea leaves
say, will eliminate Walnut Grove
(45) and Delhi (43) while San
born (43) downs Wabasso (38)
only to fall to Morgan (59). Then
Morgan will win by five points
over Franklin.
Now let's try out some of the
guesses. Gaylord, playing at Win
throp, should lose by IA points
according to the estimates. In
stead, Winthrop won by four.
That's what a sport writer calls
an upset.
Gaylord, playing at Fairfax,
should lose by one point. Instead,
Gaylord won by three. Apparent
ly the Gaylord team is ''unpre-
dictable."
Echo, on its home floor, has a
ten point edge over Delhi. The
margin the other night was As to
81, IA points which isn't bad
guess.
With Redwood safely past the
district-We hope-how about the
regional?
The company won't be strange.
There's Marshall from the ninth
bet the TT guesser is popular
at Tracy-With a rating of 81 and
Milan from the eleventh with 66,
both contenders last year. Lester
Prairie is the favored team in the
twelfth but gets only Sc points in
the TT ratings. Redwood's SO
gives the Cardinals a two point
