bowled a postponed match, Melrose
won two games. But that is only
incidental. While they were
collecting two defeats, Pepsi Cola
boys demonstrated their ability to
be consistent. They rolled three
identical scores Of 300 pins.

A stretch of two games on the
road faces the Main Streeters of
Ray Schwartz handling during the
first half of this month. They
hit Osakis January 10th, and will
probably be one of the early oppon-
ents in the new gymnasium. .
1t should be interesting to gauge
the comparative strengths of the
Sank Centre, Alexandria, Osakis
teams. Sank Centre plays them
handwriting, and the two have had
their famous overtime tussle. l..
First entry into West Central Con-
ference maneuvers for the locals
since the holidays comes at Itch
field January 18th.
From here on in, the Main
Streeters are going to have to
show greater promise. I think
they will. Up to now it's
been sufficient to say the lads
are inexperienced. I think that
inexperience can last an entire
year; but whether Gus Fan will
think so Is another matter. -.
He expects in four or five
games the boys to be up there
knocking them off. May be
they should. But we can well
remember teams that went an
entire year before they showed
development that made them a
real ball club. :.
There's a good deal about the
game today that requires old heads.
There are boys blessed with an
abundance of natural talent that
fall into the slot easier. But we
have noticed that the boys who
are in there picking them off came
by way of the development route.
In most teams is a problem
of singing out one boy who is not
a star, but spark plug as it were.
E. Like Osakis' Caughren; like
Bertha's Milfner; like the Buccan-
GERS Nelson; like Sank Centres
Pangburn. All those boys de-
veloped.
To get back to this district race,
there are a few under the surface
items that may make for a tourna-
ment that will curl your toe nails.
If you want it that way. :.
Recall three cases in last years
tussle and you have enough to
make it the hottest race in history.
Take Melrose. Melrose thought it
was her year. So did a lot of peo-
pie. She ran against Osakis and
snapped out of the race. :. Then
Sank Centre, whom she had humb-
led plenty, went on to get farther
than she did. Melrose would
like that title this year. Take
With only fair season,
considered no soap at all, she STUN
bled quicker than most thought.
She never got to the district.
This year on the comeback, she's
out after 1t. Take Alexandria.
Her situation is identical to that
of Glenwood's. She's hitting the
comeback trail and if anyone has
the idea that Glenwood and Alex
andria can be stopped so complete
ly two years in a row, he wants
to be ready to fight. Alex
wants that tournament too. -.
