NEW LIFE?-
Main Streeters
Meet Glen
wood Friday

Sank Centre, putting a team
with new life in the field, was set
to get back on local terra firma
this week after a three-day road
trip and local fandom was con-
occurring on just how much new
life the boys really do have.
So tomorrow night, out on
O-Sa-Ge field at about 500
drop around and watch them
meet Glenwood In what-shOuld
1t be an upset-could be the
most crucial battle of tho en-
tire 1941 West Central Confer
ence race.
Sank Centres 6-6 tie with Will
mar, that did nothing for her con-
ference standings, but boosted NOR
ale proportionately, has set them
up as giant killers on a marginal
scale at least. If they can top
Glenwood, they would certainly de-
serve the title.
The conference race was cracked
wide open last week with Litchfield
bouncing one off Glenwood to the
tune of 81 to II. Glenwood, DEEM
ed invincible to that point, liter
ally had the conference sewed up.
But she fumbled the game and the
chances. Now with Litchfield and
Morris Glenwood is tied.
It's swell spot for these scrap
py Sank Centre boys-if they re-
tain the scrap they showed in the
Willmar game-to upset them. A
defeat right now would probably
eliminate Glenwood from the top
three although that depends on
what happens to the other two.
The spot is there though for tho
most crucial game in the series and
Sank Centre holds the thing in the
balance.
Gone for three games the Main
Streeters return to the local field
for some swell spots. For follow
ing Glenwood is the seasons wind
up with Appleton and Melrose.
Unless Glenwood has gone COM
pletely off, and they may after that
kind of licking, it's unlikely Sank
Centre will beat them. But we're
banking on these boys to let them
know they've been in ball game.

The traffic handled with this $4,000
worth of facilities and equipment per
employee was equivalent to transporting
more than one-half million tons of freight

The average charge to the users of the
railroad for moving each ton of freight
per mile was less than one cent. For
hauling each passenger per mile, the
average charge was one and two-thirds

Most newspapers-this one
included-will be glad to assist
in any educational program
local sporting clubs may care
to foster in this regard. ;.
Perhaps the sportsmen them
selves can shed additional light
on the problem.
Wisest thing that has happened
in the Sank Centre high school
athletics for the future good of the
program is a recent shakeup in
football circles that bore first
fruits the other night when the
gang-after four straight defeats
tied Willmar. . Ordinarily the
internal explosions of these things
we let alone. Because they are
hot and somebody inevitably gets
hurt. They are internal problems
of discipline for the school and are
not to be prattled around aimless-

scope that we can't resist 1t.
In the first place we have
no knowledge of who the play
ers are who were cut from the
squad. 1t wouldn't make any
difference in this treatise IL we
did. We are sorry for the
individuals who were cut. Some
place they got a wrong slant.
Too, this is not particularly a
Sank Centre problem. 1t has flared
in Willmar if I am to be guided
by the talk of Willmar Tribune
sports columnist HAH. It's
is a certain acceptance
Of looser ways of doing things by

for boys in high school, once clearly
as viciously wrong, is
now condoned in many homes.
While that still may be all right
which I doubt-it is not all right
for boys who play athletics. .
The thing has a universal air.
Schools too have condoned unbe-
coming behavior on the part of its
athletes to satisfy a demanding
public for victories. It may be hard
for a boy, who does not violate
training rules, to see how it is
that one who does play while he
himself sits on the bench. Others
simply refused, after repeated
to attend drills. And
still others showed in general at
titude they did not want to play
football. .
