GAME WARDENS
CHECK FISHING
Make Two-Month Creel Count
to Determine Number of
Fish Caught.

Game wardens in IS counties are
now working on two-month winter
creel census-the department of con-
servation's most reliable means of
measuring fisherman's luck"
More than 200 selected lakes will
be visited by the wardens during De-
cember and January The census pro-
vides an accurate indication of the
catch, and the trend in lake condi-
tionS.
Each warden will check three lakes
during December, each body of water
to be visited three days, one a Sunday
approximately Is reports are to be
secured at each lake, or a total of rs
in the three visits. During last winters
creel check, 8,791 fishermen were con-
tacted.
The same lakes will be revisited
during January, and approximately the
same number of fishermen contacted
The census also will determine the
total time each fisherman spent catch
ing the fish in his possession; the
time spent if no fish were caught;
the number of each species caught, as
well as the total of all fish and whether
the fishermen were angling or spear
ing. and whether a fish house was
used.

Virginia Do,vns College in
Final Pre-Holiday Contest
Turns Back Local Jaysees by
1928 Count, But Doesn't
Look Like Champs.
THE ELY MINER

Virginia turned back Ely's final pre-
holiday bid for an NJCC victory here
Friday night, SO to %.
Scoring % points in the second and
third quarters while Ely was getting
IL, the Greyhounds took their second
conference struggle but hardly looked
like the team that is slated to I'M
crown Eveleth, the defending cham
pionS.
Midway in the third period the local
college made its final bid for the game
when it ran the count to within points
of the Queen City, 1914, as the Ely
fast break was worked to perfection,
but let down followed that permitted
Virginia to go ahead for keeps. The
ElyiteS missed an untold number of
pot shots that might have put the
game on ice, but the ball wouldn't
go through the hoop.
Ely started fast and held a So adj
vantage in the initial quarter, but the
work of Clarence Berman, Hound
center who counted 7 points, kept the
Queen City in the ball game. In the
last half everybody on the visiting
squad scored.
Ed Grahek who sank six consecutive
free throws before he bobbled two and
garnered two baskets was high point
man for both teams.
The box score.

and rolled into our sleeping bags"
Jim began in the Volunteer, bulletin
of the conservation department.
"All went well, or so we thought,
until we rolled out in the morning. We
saw grub and SKUNKS scattered all
over the place
1--WE salvaged what We could of the
grub and then made a permanent
camp, storing our provisions inside a
tent. But the second night was a
nightmare.
"There was skunks, skunks, and more
skunks. A light rain fell, which made
the SkunkS eye our tent with designing
eyes. We retreated therefrom, and
took to the beach. But, alas, the little
culprits decided our sleeping bags
made good nests, especially after we
had warmed them up.
1--WE had our food well protected, but
| it kept one man awake to convince the
skunks. The other two kept awake to
see that the first didn't make a
mistake.
"The third night wasn't a nightmare
III was the WnOle livery Darn, II you
get what I mean. Every skunk on
the island paid us a visit-big ones
little ones, sisters, brothers, aunts, and
uncles. They were all around us and
over us and even sat on us! With two
days of heavy hiking and sleepless
night under our belts we we're eX-
tremely brave. We slept.
During the night I awoke. There
on my chest squatted big fat skunk
calmly looking for pine needles in my
whiskers
eve completed our work, and when
the state cruiser showed up after dark
we Immediately broke camp and left
From now on that place is Skunk island

Basket by Gordon Bird in
"Sudden Death" Period
Gives Ely Win.
Score by Periods.

| Ely ..........S 10 Il 3U-33 50 81
Tower .......6 20 "a 1913 35 Sc
Tower high school came very near
but not quite near enough-to break
| ing defeat record of 18 years stand
ing when it was dumped, 37-35, by
Memorial high in a game that went
into Sudden death" third overtime
period here Friday night.
Tower has never defeated Ely on
Memorial court since the building went
up in 1923, but it was only through the
efforts of Gordon Bird who calmly
plunked the ball through the hoop from
far out that the Tower bid for vic
tory was blasted and a deadlock that
had lasted far into the night broken
In the overtime periods that lasted
7 extra minutes, both teams had
chances to salt the game away on
free throws and close-in shots but
failed. In the sudden death" period,
Tower completed a center play that
put the ball directly under the hoop,
but two consecutive pot shots were
just wee bit short, and then Ely
took the ball off the bankboard Care
full passing kept the ball well in front
of the Tower defense, and then Bird
let go his victory shot to turn back
one of the outstanding clubs in dis
trict 81.
Towers big Ed Stepan drew first
blood with a basket as the opening
quarter started, but Ed Chachich soon
tied the count at all, and Bird put
Ely in the van, Az. Midway in the
second quarter Tower tied the count
at Is all and then went into a lead
that wasn't broken until the first
overtime period when Ely garnered a |
1-point advantage on free throw.
Until the final seconds of the reg !
ular playing time when Al Logar |
cracked in two baskets to tie the count |
at 80 all, Tower had things pretty |
well in hand Ed Stepan and Martin
Vessel, with the aid of two other
elongated Tower boys, managed to get |
about 95 per cent of the rebounds
On both ends of the court This work
succeeded in keeping the Ely club in
check and came within an ace of
giving Tower the game.
A free throw by William Rowe and
brace of them by Logar, and a basket
by Ed Stepan and a gift shot by st.
Vincent again tied the count at 80
Ill as the first overtime ended. st.
Vincent had two shots awarded him,
,ut could sink only one
AS the next period started Rowe
missed charity toss, and st. Vincent
under the basket Bird came
through with points to again tie
he count. In the final 16 seconds both
1eSel and st. Vincent missed free
hrows which might have meant VIC
DRY.
Then came the sudden death" per-
cd. Tower, getting the tipoff, had
irst chance to score, but muffed it,
Ely came through on beauty by
3iBrd to end the game.

JOE PERKO, son of Mr. and Mrs
John Perko of this city, has returned
from the University of Connecticut at
StorrS for the Christmas holidays.
Joe is a Junior at the University and
was regular fullback on the varsity
football team this fall. In spite of
injuries that he had throughout the
season, Perko was the battering ram
of the Connecticut team and was re-
Sponsible for much of the yardage
made by the team. Injuries kept him
out of the Springfield game which
was won by Connecticut 25-7; but in
every other game, he was q vital
factor on both offense and on the
defense, where he backed up the line
Coach j. o. Christian, who is in
his eighth year as head football coach
at Connecticut and who formerly
coached at Eveleth Junior college, is
high in his praise of Perko in his
work this year.
In addition to being a good football
player, Joe showed at the end of the
first quarter that he is a better-than
average scholar.
