District A Scramble
Glenwood Fast Mover

UpsaIa Holds Cue
On Paper Main Streeters
Look Pretty Fair
Let's peek inside for just a NOM
ent. And If you don't arrive at the
same conclusion got then one OF
us is blind-and it isn't yours tru-
ly. i. Someone has left the lid
ajar on the district dope bucket
and so far as I'm concerned they
can throw it away, including the
bucket. Cuz If this district
fracas doesn't turn out to be the
maddest scramble this district has
had in many a program-chewing
event, then I will personally eat a
couple of Ray Schwartz neckties
=. Glenwood has moved up so
fast in the district sun she's blind
ing lot Of the boys. Alex has
the best reserve strength. Mel
rose is the coolest operator outside
of Alaska, and Wagner is the
smoothest cog in the district.
Osakis has blasted the best, runs
steady favorite. Long Prairie
is a sinister shadow on the hori-
zon. Deer Creek and Bertha
are not to be outlawed and Upsala
has a bunch of boys who are go
ing to be in there pitching. .
And Sank Centre-well, the defend
ers' crown is tottered and they're
on the well-known spot. And Up
sala holds the cue that may smack
the eight-ball! >.
It's a 4l5-pOint season team
that goes into the tournament

tire. :. While opponents thru
out the season have grabbed off
sol points, which Is quite q
spread but not as black as it
might be painted. 1 can show
you on paper here where Sank
Centre hasn't got such bad
outfit. Sank Centre has av-
eraged only Is points per game
figures are for the first six
teen games out of 18) .. Of
fensively I can't give them top
billing on an average like that.
A team to beat the tournament
has to have something like IS
points per game. ;. But here's
an angle. The team that last
year rOcketed to q new height
for tournament play had sea-
sons average of only "a points
per game, and their schedule,
If anything. was smoother sail
ing than these boys have had!
But last year the boys outscOr-
ed their opponents. -.
Here's an angle. While Sank
Centre held below the 30-point av-
erage, it's opponents have stretched
to a 81 point average in the 16
games. And the reason that
average is so high is that teams
like st. Cloud, Minneapolis South,
Willmar, blasted to the Appoint
mark. For the most part the
district contenders have been held
to less than the 30 point average.
-. Alexandria, Glenwood and Mel
rose nave risen up to above 30
points to dust off the locals. :.
While last years team never got to
40 points, this years club has had
some nights when they smacked
up to AZ points and another when
they got 43. :. On the other hand
they've slipped to such scores as
IA or 10.
It tells a couple of things.
Mainly, that they can score
more than they've averaged. 1t
tells too that defensively they
haven't got the club of year

defenders they can't rate the

mediately objects of everyone
affections; affections to blow
them out. They're less a
favorite than many others, vet
they enjoy a certain amount of
pressure because the other boys
want them out Of the way.
If seasonal games are lost,
there's always the thought that
there are others. We learned some
thing in that one. But in the
tournament it's all over. There's
no long run payoff. Each game
is little season all by itself. You
win 1t or out you 60 like a bird on
the wing. Star to look at is that
team on the same court in differ
ent uniforms.
The seasons play doesn't give
Sank Centre more than a ray of

against that of its opponents is
disheartening. But there's light
in the individual scoring records.
Scoring record for individuals
shows Stan Nelson high with I'll
points in II games. Hildebrand is
in second with 90; Cooper with 81;
then Jackson with AZ; and Arneson
with 36. g.. There's a few points.
Just for fun I'd like to compare
season scoring record with the club
of a year ago. We find Nelson
outstripping Pangburn who had ia
last year. Pangburn's high for a
single game was %, Nelson's was
"a. And Pang is the boy, you
know, who under tournament pres
sure went on to set a new scoring
mark for play and new standard
for center play. >. Last year Con-
key had 83 for second, Ethun with
70, and Larson with 81. And
this year, remember, these lads
have played for the most part on
a losing team. -.

Myrno 10y Plays
Fashion Editor In
Ceramic Picture

Myrna 10y, chewing gum and
speaking out of the side of her mouth
with tough accent! 1t doesn't seem
to make sense, but it does make a
spectacle that elicits mirthful howls
from audiences in "Third Finger, Left
Hand" comical story of a marriage
mixup, in which the screens perfect
wife" roughs up Melvyn Douglas, the
man who made Carlo laugh.
It's one of the many comedy-packed
situations in the new picture, which
comes Sunday to the Ceramic Theatre.
Myrna sets out to horrify Melvyn's
hometown folks while the two are on
their honeymoon. In fact, she keeps
Douglas in constant dither as they
fall in and out of comical complica-
tions.
The trouble starts when Miss 10y,
playing a fashion editor, pretends to
have a husband in some distant part
IF the world for business reasons. The
debonair Douglas, one of her suitors
learns of it and arrives to imperson-
ate Friend Husband and keep Lee
Bowman and Sidney Blackmer. her
other two suitors, away. She can't ex-
pose him without exposing her own
deception. To make matters worse
her family likes him.
Robert z. Leonard, noted for his
deft comedy touch, directed the pic
ture, the action of which ranges from
a cruise steamer to a bustling mag
azine office in New York, from So
cialite homes to Niagara Falls.
Players include Raymond Walburn
Bonita Granville, Felix Bressart, Don
aid Meek and Ann Morriss, all in
comedy roles. John w. Considine
Jr., produced.

Former Union Chiefs
Sentenced To Prison

St. Louis, Mo. QLNS).-Two former
union executives were sentenced here
by Judge John Caskie Collet in Fed
eral District Court to five years in
prison and to pay fines of $4,000. They
were found guilty recently on rack
eteering charges. Judge Collet denied
a motion for new trial. The case
will be appealed to the Supreme Court.
John P. Nick, former first vice
president of the International Alliance
Of Theatrical Stage Employees and
Moving Picture Machine Operators,
and his assistant, Clyde A. Weston,
business agent of the union, were
found guilty on eleven counts.
Five alleged that, as heads of the
union in St. Louis, Nick and Weston
had conspired to obtain $4,000 from
theatre owners in 1887 by making
exorbitant wage demands. Other
counts charged that Weston had or
ganized a sound service firm to be
used for the same purpose.

SeIecfive Service
Inquiries Handled
BY Sto+e Agencies

Inquiries relative to the Selective
Service Act and to National Guards
men going on active duty should be
directed to State Adjutant Generals
or their representatives and not to any
other military headquarters, Colonel
S. G. Talbot, Adjutant General, ex-
planned today at Fifth Corps Area
Headquarters, Fort Hayes, Columbus,
Ohio.
Colonel Talbot said that Fifth
Corps Area Headquarters and Regular
Army Recruiting Stations have been
deluged with such inquiries presum-
ably through a misunderstanding on
the part of the public.
He emphasized that Regular Army
agencies have no authority to act in
these matters and urged that ques-
TONERS save time by direct communica-
tion with State Adjutant Generals or
the local Selective Service Boards.

Foolish
Labor, through it's years of organ
lied and united effort, has established
social and economic standards which
it seeks to safeguard during the
emergency which faces the nation.
We maintain that the ten million who
make up the army of the unemployed
should be accorded an opportunity to
work and serve the nation. So long
as this great army Of unemployed is
available for service, it is foolish for
unthinking people to suggest that
standards-economic, social and indus
trial established through collective
bargaining and legislation, should be
lowered. Green. r'"

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

An Englishman is believed to
be the patron saint of Finland!
This is the common belief, and
probably it is true, although we
do not have all of the proof we
might wish of his birthplace.
Going back into history, we find
q bishop in Sweden who was known
as Henry of Upsala. He lived 300
years ago, and the old record says
he was born in England.
Henry of Upsala wanted to spread
the Christian faith and went into
Finland at the time of the first
Swedish crusade. He did all he
could to turn the minds of the peo-
pie away from their olden gods.
The Swedish King, Eric. was at
the head Of the crusade. He won a
battle or two, then left little
colony of Swedes in Finland. In
the colony was Henry of Upsala,
brave man who dared to ride far
from the colony to visit the farms
of the Firms. Often he preached
to little groups which gathered in
barns.
On one of his journeys Henry
was crossing a stretch of ice when
he was attacked and killed by a
Finn. Later his body was found.
and he was buried in a church.
In 200 years the change to the
Christian faith was complete in
Finland. BY that time Henry of
Upsala had grown to be a hero,
and many stories were told about
him. He came to be called st.

A Test in Dummy Play

AS is the case with so many hands,
the bidding should have shown
South the winning play. The fact
that West opened with bid of three
spades almost surely indicated a
seven-card suit; and further de-
yelopments should have indicated his
distribution more clearly.

West opened spade "a good
break for South, for after flnessing
dummys queen, he was able to get
rid Of heart on the ace. Next
heart was played. East won with
the ten, then played the king, which
South trumped. Next declarer led a
club to dummy, then trumped the
remaining heart in his hand.
At this point South should have
been able to guess Vests distribu-
ton. In addition to the seven spades,
he was marked with four hearts.
Our readers might question this last
statement, but here is our reason:
Three rounds of hearts had been
played and each time West had
played a small card. But his open
ing vulnerable bid should have been
justified only if he held one of the
high honors in hearts. Therefore
West could hold but two diamonds,
and the proper play was to play
the ace and another. West would
then have to lead either a heart
or a spade, which would be trumped
in dummy and the last diamond
discarded.
AS it was, South led the jack of
diamonds from dummy West won
with the king and returned the
eight and South then lost another
trick.

The Firms are holding positions
