PERKO STARRING
AT CONNECTICUT.

Joe Perko, former Ely junior college
football star, is doing some great work
on the University of Connecticut eleven
and is getting his name in the papers
too.
Perko scored his clubs only touch
down against Massachusetts, State,
and sports writer's described his feat
as one staged by "big, hard driving
lad who went on a one-man rampage"
A bad pass from center forced Con-
necticut back over his goal line and
gave the game to Massachusetts,, 8-6.
Perko's line plunging has brought
the praise of his coach. 1t was in
this department that he did much in
giving Ely share of the conference
crown last year.

ELY Is, INTL FALLS 6.

Playing the best ball seen here for
many years, Memorial high defeated
international Falls, 1876, Friday night.
After the game was over, local fans
Went away wondering how Eveleth
ever turned in an 1870 trimming of
Coach Steve Smrekar's club, for the
Vermilion Rangers displayed some of
the best blocking and team work
against the Falls ever turned out by
an Ely prep club.
1t took a Falls touchdown midway
in the first quarter to bring the Ely
ties to life, and this score while at
the moment motivated much rejoicing
in the Falls camp later proved the
visitors undoing.
A 40-yard punt that got away from
the Falls safety man and was un-
corered by the Falls after the ball had
rolled to its IS, paved the way for
the initial Ely score. A 5-yard penalty
on the opening play moved the ball
to the 10, and the punt that followed
was downed on the Falls 80.
Louis Senta went of tackle for 4
yards, and then Stanley Mestnik un-
limbered his deadly passing arm and
found Quarterback Joe Buckner who
ran Is yards after snagging the heave
to score. Mestnik converted the extra
point to put Ely in the van, TO.
The Rangers second counter came
a few minutes later as the second
quarter got under way after the club
had marched rs yards.
Ely put the ball in play on its 80
after Falls punt, and in successive |
plays John Novak counted 9 yards,
Senta 13 Mestnik 3, and Senta 16, to |
plant the ball on the Falls %. Then !
came the 5-yard penalty, after which |
Novak cracked the line for 2 and Is |
yards and Mestnik heaved a pass to |
End Keith Brownell TO make it 2
yards to go for a marker Novak lugged
the pig skin over, and Mestnik's try
for the extra point was no good.
A bitter struggle by the Falls to
overcome Ely's advantage and by Ely /
to hold the upper hand marked the
second half The visitors recovered an
Ely tumble on the latter's 40 just as
the third quarter ended. and kicked
the ball out on the 1, but couldn't
make good on the advantage.
Mestnik uncorked a quick kick good |
for g. yards to put Ely deep in Falls
territory, but lost the ball on downs
on the Falls 4. The Falls Immediately !
a 30-yard pass to throw a
scare into the Ely fans, but the gun
ended the game as Mestnik intercepted
another heave.

ALL Is SOLVED.

Preston-County Attorney Clarence
Perkins is quite depressed, considering
the fact that he purchased new
automobile, which he later found was
too large to fit into his garage. In
fact he measured both the vehicle and
the garage, and found that there ap
proximately was 49, inches about which
something would have to done. All
turned out well and good, however,
for carpenter was summoned and the
garage now supports a bay window.

Successful Season Teams
to Meet on Gilbert
GridirOR.
FOUR-YEAR RECORD.
1937-Ely 6, Gilbert IA.
l938-Ely 0, Gilbert 6.
1939-Ely O, Gilbert 6.
1940-Ely o, Gilbert Z.

The two teams which completed a
successful" season by defeating their
ancient enemy, Virginia, will battle it
out Saturday afternoon, when Ely
travels 10 Gilbert. The game is set for
p. m.
The Memorial high gridders first
drank deeply of the victory cup by
handing the BluedevilS a 60 setback
on their own field. The contest, score
less until the final seconds, ended in
a gratifying manner for Ely as the
club completed a pass that went for
a touchdown.
Gilbert's draught at the victory
flask was just as pleasing although it
followed Ely's. The Montgomerymen
downed the Queen City, 80, on the
formers field, successfully kicking
field goal for one of the few ever
recorded by a range high team.
The Vermilion Rangers in the COM
ing contest with Gilbert have a job
ahead that is equally as pressing as
the one successfully handled at Vir-
GINA.
In the past four years Ely scored
but measly points against Gilbert,
while the latter chaIked up "a to win
every one of the games.
It's high time these four ickings
are avenged, and especially the score
less trimmings the past three years.
Ely viii complete the season in a
game with Hibbing in the Ely School

TWO SETS OF TWINS.

Milaca-To witness the birth of a
pair of twin calves is thrill in it
self, but to have the same procedure
happen twice in one month is a rarity
Nick Johansen, Pease farmer, will
vouch for this. Two sets of Holstein
twin calves were born on his farm
during the 31-day period. This is the
third set of twins born on the Jo-
hansen farm in three years.

ELY Ia, TOWER o.

Scoring all its points in the final
quarter, Memorial high school defeated
Tower-Soudan, 40, here Monday
night to again capture the annual
battle Of the Vermilion range.
One of the largest and heaviest
teams seen in action at the Ely
School Stadium this season, Tower
held the Red and White club in
check for three STARTERS before Stanley
Mestnik crossed the goal line twice
for Ely John Novak's kicks were good
for both extra points.
First counter came as the final
quarter started. Mestnik went through
the line from yards out to climax
a drive that started on the Tower 80,
where Ely downed Tower kicker as
he attempted to punt on fourth
down. A 15-yard roughing penalty
on Tower helped considerably.
A march that started on the Ely 43
travelled 81 yards for the second score.
Mestnik got away for Is yards, and
Joe Omerza for II, before Mestnik

EVELETH Is, ELY 0.

Eveleth, the team that will play at
Virginia Saturday night in game
that may determine the conference
champion, packed altogether too much
power for Ely, winning last Saturday,
$50.
Two blocked punts, a recovered
tumble. and an aerial attack that
worked smoothly when the occasion
demanded paved the way for the
Tigers scores.
While Eveleth was enjoying its
first win over Ely since 1899, the Iron
Men were kept too busy Harvesting
the Tigers offensive power to get
into high gear. Ely gained but II
yards from scrimmage and none from
passing, about half the yardage for
the preceding three games.
Badly missed were the services of
Roy Johnson, backf1eld ace, who
watched from the sidelines, kept out
of the contest by a leg injured in
practice. A couple of reserves, Jim
Pete and Frank Lobe. took over john
sons duties, while the erstwhile half
back, who has handled the punting,
passing, and a good part of the block
ing busted himself compiling the
statistics of the game for The Miner.
The breaks of the game all fell
Eveleths way, and the contest was
only minutes old when the first touch
down gave the Tigers their initial
counter as an Ely tumble on its 20
yard line was gathered in by Eveleth
and ran over for points.
The Tigers added more points to
their total during the first quarter,
and further increased their advan-
tage by counters in the second and
third

The Ely junior college will wind up
the 1871 football campaign here Sat-
urday AFTERNOON, meeting Duluth
at the Ely School Stadium at
o'clock.
The contest will be the Iron Mems
final chance to break into the win
column. having suffered four consec-
utive defeats.
The defenders of the 1910 Northern
Junior College conference co-cham-
pionship will sing their swan song
sans the fanfare of publicity and at
tention that conferred on the clubs of
the past two years, when the local
football picture was more rosy. Then
it was chance at the title that spurred
the club on, but now it's the duty to
fight to the last regardless of the
odds.
Although the win column contains
only goose egg, the Elyites have
given good account of themselves
(recall Coach Doc Savage's after Hib-
bing had defeated Ely, 1870: "the
win was the costliest in (Savage) his
tory.O Final figures may show that
Ely has a deciled edge over opponents
in yards gained from scrimmage, in
net yards, and in first downs, even
though opponents goal lines remained
That Ely is in for another tough
evening to say the least is heralded
by the Bluejays' smashing 1877 vic
tory over Hibhing last week Duluth |
is rated as the darkhorse club of the |

c.. O. P. Leaders And The War

! The Republicans at loss to find an issue on
which they feel they might win the control of the next
Congress. They have sought but in vain, to discredt
the present administrations policy. Some of the
leaders felt that perhaps father the 1solationists
might do the trick though the tituar head
of their party, Wendell Willkie, has backed the ad-
ministratons foreign policyand the only change he
would make would be to go still further than has the
president.
The managing editor of the G. O. P. national party
magazine in order learn the sentiment of the lead
ers of the Republican party, conducted poll of 1000
Republican county and township leaders throughout
the country, recently. The result that SIS percent
of these leaders, advocate active participation
in the than is being followed by the government
at present Think of itafer all the criticism hurled
at the administration in power, chiefly because
the foreign policy find SIS percent of the Repub
lican leaders who would go still further and advo-
cate active effort than has Mr.. Roosevelt
OF those polled only four percent recommended
negotiated peace

New Teachers Tenure Law

We too believe that the teachers tenure law is
not the interests of schools in general,
with it in effect period of cannot
feel that the public schools of the state would be
far of-that is less efficient than
when the law went into effect 1t has been stated that
few thoroughly understand the law. What would
be interested in is knowing from whence this law
originated; the lobbyists for it, who took the lead in
having it put through the legislature, ETC.
The person who should supply this information
would naturally be representative to the general
assembly, Dr. Mchener. Perhaps he clear up
many of the objections raised, and be able to
show why the legislature believed that it was good
law for the best interests of the schools of the
state. Our present representative is on his third
term--s ripe in experience and should be in posi-
ton to throw much light upon this measure and in
such a that would want it repealed
How about having him discuss this particular law at
a meeting of the Business Mems club when oppor-
tunity would be given ask him questions. Perhaps
his answers would clear up much of the opposition
now existing against this law.

AROUND THE TOWN
(By Nibby Knows J

Right about when the leaves be-
gin to fall and landscape is vari-
gated mass of color is one of the
most beautiful times of the year.
But fall brings on one of the most
tedious jobs of the year, raking
leaves. / have found that the best
technique is to pick out very love-
ly Saturday afternoon. Immediate
ly after lunch you lie down to rest
before starting the arduous task.
After spending an hour peacefully
slumbering you finally rouse up and
get up to go borrow the neighbors'
rake Here he reminds you that
you neglected to bring it back last
year, SO you spend half hour dis
cussing the war. You finally go
back home, locate the rake, and
start to work. AS soon as you
have nearly completed and have
nice heap of leaves you stop to rest
and a gust of wind puts you back
where you started. By this time
you are so discouraged and tired
you give the neighbor boy a dollar
for doing the work and go back to
sleep.
