up-and-coming scoring combination
lately developed by the jaysees.

tions are Howard Fritch, Toledo, Ohio,
all-state high school forward in 1910,
and highest scoring man on the visit
ing team, and Willard Starrett, Col

Another bright light of the Port of
Duluth club is Fred Alderman, Phil

Joseph's college team known as the
Mighty Little Midgets," which defeat
ed such renowned clubs at Penn State
and Long Island university with Acker-
mans assistance.
Other team members are Stephen

Ed Grahek, Keith Brownel, mad Roy
johnson, who have been going great
in the past couple of games along with
their teammates will have an arduous
evening ahead of them in competing
with the coast guard stars. But if
the threesome can maintain their COM
bined average scoring of II points per

plenty tough for the visitors.

Buy War Bonds and Stamps

Chester s. Wilson, No. 1 man in the
Attorney Generals Office where he has
made an enviable record in the game
and fish, forestry and drainage and
water departments and the many legal
aspects pertaining to these depart
ments, has been named Conservation
Commissioner. Circumventing the
usual headaches produced in choosing
a conservation head, Governor Stassen
named Wilson, dark horse. The
hundred or so conservation groups
of the state each had candidate for
the place and discussion regarding the
fitness of respective candidates became
quite general in the newspapers and
conservation groups of Minnesota.
Governor Stassen evidently had ideas
of his own and late Saturday made
the appointment.
Commissioner Wilson is a native Of
Saltwater where he makes his home,
a world war veteran, married and has
two children. He was named a deputy
by Attorney General Burnquist in 1889
and has been the right hand legal man
in Governor Stassen's set-up from the
start, says Halloran in the Minneapolis
Star-Journal. Halloran further says
she probably comes as near anyone
can of being the answer Stassen must
have to end the eternal row involving
