Burglars at Hardware Store.

Stanton's hardware store was en-
tered by thieves Monday night and
a careful estimate of the goods stolen
amounts to close to $3.50, consisting
mostly of sporting goods such as fish
ing tackle and ammunition. This is
the second time within year that
the store has been burglarized and
it is thought to be the work of local
amateurs.

STRONG CARDINAL
SQUAD EXPECTED
VETERANS AND NEW
MEN PLENTIFUL;
WORKOUTS START

A Redwood Falls High school
track squad which includes a
wealth of veteran performers is
working out regularly in the Lin
coin school gym, looking forward
to weather that will make outdoor
practice sessions possible and an
ticipating a full schedule which
includes the region three meet to
be held here May Is.
Triangular meets with Pipe
stone and Marshall, about April
Is, and with Springfield and st.
James, are being arranged. The
team also will go to the invita-
tional meet at St. Johns college,
where Redwood Falls placed
third last year, and to a similar
mest at Carleton college if the date
is suitable. The district meet will
be held at New U!m May II and
the state meet at Minneapolis
May 25.
District competition probably
will be tougher than usual this
year as the Cardinals seek to de-
fend the title which they won last
year with plenty of points to
spare. Springfield will enter for
the first time in many seasons.
Gaylord and Winthrop expect to
have better balanced teams than
usual while New Ulm is counting
on Coach Ray Bassett to develop
the strength of the Eagles. Bas-

Redwood was getting its share
of shots at this point, although
the Tracy guards and Wachs kept
them hurried and the ball rolled
almost in and then out time and
time again while Tracy was doing
better with its tries. Redwood
couldn't get off that five while
Tracy ran it's count to 13 with two
more gift shots by Wachs and
basket by Rose.
Then the gallery took heart as
Stensvad started a rally late in
the half, with a basket, Hoffman
registered another free throw and
Lang and Hoffman contributed
from the floor to put the score at
Redwood II, Tracy 13 at inter-
mission.
Wachs counted the first basket
of the second half but Duea tied
the count for the first time at Is
with a basket and free shot. Main
broke it with a Tracy basket but
Diekmeier tied the score and then
gave Redwood its first lead, 18
to II, from the gift line as the
quarter ended.
The lead changed with Wachs'
basket and Johnson's gift shot
gave them a two point advantage
which Diekmeier promptly can
celed. With five minutes to play,
Duea's basket gave Redwood %
to 20 lead
E'a1.5 who could not see the
scoreboard thought Redwood was
over the hump as Stensvad sank
beautiful try from well out on
the floor. Even the broaocastels
in the projection booth missed the
fact that the shot had been ruled
void. That ruling may have CoSt
Redwood its st. Paul trip.
Wachs' basket tied the score
and another long swisher put the
count at 24-22. A few wild mo-
ments later the gun blasted the
hopes of several thousand fans.
RedWood's scoring was decided
ly scattered. Hoffman, starring in
the final game of his high school
career, led the list with six points,
one basket and every one of his
four free tries. Duea and Dick
meier each counted five points,
two baskets and one free toss
while Stensvad made two baskets
and Lang, one. Hustad played a
few minutes for Diekmeier.
Wachs led the Tracy list with
five field goals, all of his four
free shots. Main scored three bas-
kets, Rose one and Aarthun and
Johnson, each free shot.

SCRAPPERS ENTER
FIRST STATE MEET
AGAINST CHAMPS
SCRAPPERS' DEFENSE
CANCELS STATE
TOURNEY PLANS

The underdog Tracy High
school quint which came out
on top in the region three
tournament at Granite Falls
Thursday has a new role to-
day, that of darkhorse in the
state basketball tourney at
the st. Paul auditorium.
Because the Scrappers
dumped hopes of the Red
wood Falls Cardinals and
their fans "a to % last week,
Tracy is paired with Noun
tain Lake in the opening
game of the meet at 3 p. m.
today. No doubt the state cham
pions are a trifle nervous about
the outcome. too, since Tracy
proved itself a tourney team by
eliminating the Cardinals who de-
feated them twice during the sea-
son. Mountain Lake had only a
17-15 margin in the one meeting
of the schools during the season.
Should Tracy, in the meet for
the first time in its history, come
through this afternoon. it will
meet Red Wing or Rochester,
whichever survives the 4 p. m.
game today, in the semi-finals
Friday evening. The defeated
teams of the quartet will begin
consolation round play Friday af-
ternoon.
Saturday night the survivor of
the four will meet the team which
moves up from the other bracket
for the championship. Chisholm
plays Minneapolis Marshall and
Bemidji takes on Breckenridge in
first round games in this group
tonight. Saturday nights program
also will include a game for third
place between teams which win
their first games and lose their
second as well as the consolation
finals, between teams which lose
their first engagement but
triumph in their second.
Led by Robert Wachs whose
performance as Tracy center was
outstanding throughout the re-
gional meet, the Scrappers earned
their triumph by>managing a de-
fense against Cardinal attacks
which was little short of invinci-
bic.
Twice, late in the game how
ever. Redwood Falls forged into
the lead and seemed destined tt
pull through but the Tracy crew
had an ounce more strength tC
give in the final moment, ar
ounce which sent a disappointed
but by no means discredited
Redwood Falls team and hum
dreds of fans on the homewaro
trail with no place in particular
to go this weekend.
