WOLVES
TITLE AGAIN
Pointers Win from Malta by
48 to "a for Another
B Championship.

Climaxing the three-day Glass B
district 3 basketball tournament in
the Glasgow civic center, Wolf Point
defeated Malta 48 to "a Saturday
night to take first place hcnorS.
Nashua won from Saco, 25 to 20,
for third and fourth places.
The four top teams came cut
strictly according to seeding. The
Wolves, as anticipated, breezed
through their early contests. Malta
came up the hard way by defeating
a strong Nashua club in the semi
finals, but only after two periods
of overtime play in a battle that
was rightly heralded as the feature
attraction of the tourney.
Only upset came in the consola-
ton rounds when a fighting Opheim
team, seeded eighth, dumped the
Hinsdale Raiders, who had been
conceded sixth position in advance.
Coming to Division
Both Wolf Point and Malta will
be here for the Northeastern divi-
sion examinations, March II, IS and
IA, along with first and second
teams from three other districts.
Malta had a fine team, we'll
coached and capable of going far
in any usual tournament. But the
wolves, defending state Glass B til
tleholders, have more than a usual
team, the best in a long line of
ahead-cf-the-pack squads from the
Roosevelt county school. It's once
in a blue moon in high school play
that spectators are privileged 10 see
such a fast-breaking forward wall
as that composed of Bushman, Lis
terud and Dumont.
At that, Malta sprang a surprise
on the Saturday night crowd by
leading the Pointers the first half.
spanked the Mustangs,
but the work CT two lengthy Malta
ties. Bell and Lefdahl, under beth
baskets was the prime factor in
holding down the fire department
attack of the champs.
The first quarter score was 10-all
and Malta led 1918 at the rest
period. Then the wolves started the
barrage so familiar to their follow
ers. Fast breaks, sleeper plays, che
handed miracle shots, ball stealing
and other tricks in the Wolf roper
toire were all exhibited. The Point
ers also frightened their zen defense
to allow but two counters from the
field the final half. Coach Bob
Lowry's boys served effective notice
that they are again on the state
championship trail.
Nashua Has Tussle
Sacc's veteran club almost upset
the bucket by leading Nashua into
the fourth quarter in the battle for
third and fourth. The Porcupines
had a slim 1913 lead at half time
that quickly evaporated in the third
period, by the end of which Saco
led 1912, playing a deliberate game
to keep the ball away from the fast
passing Nashua club.
Opening the fourth, Beadle con-
verified M gift shot to make it 16-
u. Then Lacy's looper and Dykstra's
tied the count at 16-all. Ulve-
stad made a free threw good to
put the Porcupines ahead and his
side-angle shot made it 49,
l6. Beadle retaliated with a long
one and Nashua had a one-pcint
margin, 1913. NIGEL again laid one
up, followed by Broadbrooks' counter
kept the Panthers in the con-
est with minutes to 60. Nicol's

Further, General Hershey said
deferments because Of occupation
can be granted only by local boards
and all defermentS are provisional
subject to withdrawal and r given
only to serve the national interest
not the registrant'S interest.
Three things must be proven by
a registrant seeking deferment
First, that the particular business
industry or profession in which he
is engaged is necessary in the wal
program Or for national health
safety or interest; second, that the
work he personally is doing is es-
sential to its functioning, and, third
that there is no supply from which
a replacement can be secured.
Should Make Survey
The letter adds there isn't any
question as to the patriotism OF
farmers" 1t suggests that farmers
are urged to make an immediate
survey of manpower attached to the
farm and prepare to release every
qualified nan for the combat Serv-
ice, replacing them in many in
stances with women, with men over

ments, registrants with dependents

Industry has its survey under way
and is making its plans to supply
its labor needs from the sources of
supply mentioned above.
1T is a transition but an abso-
lutely necessary che in order to sup
ply 7 to 8 million of the finest men
the world ever produced for the
American combat forces" the letter
concludes.

Outlines Policy on Farms

Policy to be followed by local Sc

received this week by the local board

part:
Much has been said recently by
leaders of u political organizations
relative to the need for production
on the farm and the necessity of re-
tanning all citizens on the farm for
the ultimate contribution to this
great food basket. Naturally, this
production, as well as Our NUM-
tions, is absolutely essential, but
likewise, u armed forces must be
composed CT the best men u ma
ton can produce. These men are
distributed throughout industry as
well g. the farms, and industry and
the farm must find new sources OF
help which, to GATE, have not been
tapped, and which they are reluc-
tant to tap.
