It looks like the rocky road to
Dublin for the local eagers next
week, Tuesday, January 12, when
Alex swarms Into the local gym for
% go on the maple woods. Not that
this corner has gone pessimistic in
1987, but we are prone to be a bit
Icary of a team with a winning
streak of six games. Including such
schools as Washington high, of St
Paul, Marshall, of Minneapolis,
Brainerd and Little Falls. And
whose coach rates Sauk Centre as
one of the district threats. This
Alex crowd hasn’t been beaten yet
and by the ten foot drifts in our
alley, they aren’t going to if they
can help it

Alex comes here with two
distinct advantages over the lo
cal boys. First they are taller
men, and second they have
played more games. While the
locals have been softening np
on Christinas dinners during
the past two weeks, Alex has
played games—and some tough
ones. But don't get the wrong
impression. Alex Is not going
to walk away with the local
hoopsters. These Harveymen
have a week of good hard work
ahead of them. They are five
men who have experience and
have worked together. They
have taken their first confer
ence game with Glenwood, and
they’re gunning for their next
district opponent.
e e e
It'll be a mad scramble in the dis
trict tournament this year. Several
top teams are rated highly this
season, and the Little Town in the
Big Woods, Bertha, may look for a
tussle to retain their championship
crown. Alexandria, Parkers Prairie,
Henning, Sauk Centre, and Glen
wood, from this sector are all
strong teams. Haven’t heard much
of Swanville this year, or Melrose.
Bertha, it will be remembered,
came through last year a dark
horse. Surprising and pleasing the
district as a whole they not only
upset the dope but mixed their
own solution. They emerged the
winner with the entire district
mowed down in their wake. This
season looks at present ripe for
another dark horse winner. Many
strong teams, a champion that may
not be so strong, a change in the
seat of the tourney from Alexan
dria to Glenwood. All these things
may prompt the birth of a new
champ.

The first hitch-hiker was not a
collitch boy who waved a shining
thumb at the first Cadillac that
came along nor was it the demure
maiden who ostentatiously display
ed a dimpled knee at the handsome
gentleman in the Ford, it was a
runny-nosed kid that lurked on the
edge of town, at the creameries and
at the feed mill. What for? To
catch a ride. Yep, he hitched bobs.
In fact it was grandpa and then
some time back of that that hitch
hiking came in its mildest form.
From that embryonic nature the
sport has worked into a business.
(Remember how you used to wait
for a sleigh and pile on? The far
mer would laugh and crack his
whip and away you’d sail with the
cold wind bracing against your
face? And how you got miles out
of town before you knew it? And
oh the injustice of it all—no bob re
turned to bring you back to town.
You trudged back on feet that felt
like frozen chunks—but golly, it
was fun.

While we’re looking in retro
spect, dld’ya ever wander what
has become of pool? It’s an an
cient and honorable sport, pur
sued by King and commoner.
But today it languishes in the
memory of a few. The pool
room was the haven for busi
ness men—and the “sink of in
iquity” through which the
young blade “went to the dogs.”
Yet it Is one of the most skill
ful of games. The development
of certain shots in pool and
billiards take masters years to
perfect The dawn of the era of
the automobile launched the
downfall of the pool room. Lit
tle by little small towns have
seen pool halls fold up. Sauk

enjoyed the largest annual

. . . third largest in the state’s
history . . . 1936 poured 2,652,-
000 tourists into this state . . .
and they shelled out 690,539,-

only 7 million behind the peak
of 1929 ... We spent 680,000 for
advertising Marvelous Minneso

640,000 .. . California spends
something like (take a deep

company in one site in New
York city uses one tenth of the
1935 Minnesota advertising bill

oline taxes showed an increase
of 25 percent over 1934 . . .
amounting to 22 times the
amount the state spent for ad

lakes . . . (and some guys want
winter fishing) ... Only 6 cents
of the tourist dollar is spent for
refreshments and souvenirs . ..
80 cents of that cartwheel goes
for recreation . . . Efforts were
concentrated in the middle and
southwest on advertising . . .
Personal contact was establish
ed through various mediums
with 250,000 persons during the
past year ...
• e •
Now there are some significant
facts this corner would like to
stress. The 6186,000 iron men that
tourists paid for out of state licens
es exceeded by 380,000 the amount
spent upon fish propagation by the
Game and Fish department for the
entire year. What’s wrong with
that picture? It isn’t the first fig
ure. We, in Minnesota, like to see
our friends the tourists come—for
obvious reasons. And we believe
they will enjoy themselves. It must
be the second figure then. Just how
many fish that represents we don’t
know. But it is logical to assume
that propagation has been some
what out of proportion to the num
ber of fish taken out. Looking back
at that license figure again, it is
not logical to assume that these
tourists are here in the winter. If
Minnesota is to keep this tourist
trade then winter fishing is out of
line, or did your correspondent
swallow a live minnow this morn
ing? Save the fish for Minnesotans,
is the cry of some. But glance at
this tourist trade bulletin. Can Min
nesota get along without that?
Wfe’d hate to.
e e e
The very vastness of the resourc
es of this nation has been its un
doing. Early day lumbermen
swathed relentlessly through for
ests that had never been seen in
the Old Countries. In a craze for
more land, swamps and lakes were
endangered by draining. Now we’re
waking up to the fact that some
thing is going to be missing unless
some conservative measures are
taken. And they scramble to con
serve our beloved wild life. But it
takes more than a year or two to
replace in nature’s own way what
man has destroyed in his Big Push.
But Nature takes only so much with
doclley. Then she rises up with dust
storms that lay waste men’s fields,
drouth that shrivels his forests,
that dry his lakes. Grasshoppers in
fest his summers, the floods ruin
his homes. He awakens then to the
fact that he is not the Czar he once
thought nor is this thing called Re
sources always steadfastly by his
side. But dwindles and has a twi
light all of its own.

Minneapolis, Dec. 81.—Hockey is
making a grand comeback in Min
nesota. On two successive nights
recently at the Minneapolis Arena,
record crowds watched the profes
sional and college brands of the
game. The first night, despite a
college hockey game in St Paul
and a good fight crowd at the Min
neapolis auditorium, the best at
tendance of the season was record
ed at the Arena where St. Paul
banded Minneapolis a 5 to 1 de
feat
The second night saw the Arena
nearly packed for the second game
of the Minneapolis-Dartmouth ser
ies, which topped previous series
with Princeton and Yale in the
matter of attendance and excite
ment.
The state colleges and high
schools in the Twin Cities are play
ing more hockey than in recent
years. Duluth is having a great
season as well as the rest of the
International league and junior
college loop.
Hockey always has been popular
in Minnesota. Only during recent
years has it slumped. But with the
Increased interest in all other
sports, as manifested by the better
crowds of the past few months,
hockey, too, is getting its share of
the returns. Yes, it’s making a
comeback and a good one at that
City Gagers Tougher
The basketball teams outside the
city who have managed to rule the
state tournaments for so many
years can expect a stronger bid
from Minneapolis high schools this
season.
The ban on out-of-town games
has finally been lifted and, as a re
sult, the Minneapolis preps have
played a total of 27 games before
even starting their own conference
campaign.
It has long been the wall of out
side teams that the Minneapolis
tournament entries have a soft
soft touch, that they only had to
play the seven conference games to
determine the district winner that
advances to the regional. They say
seven games isn’t enough, that
they should play at least a dozen
as do the teams outside the cities.
Well, the Minneapolis teams are

complaining, too, that a seven
game schedule didn’t prepare them
well enough for the rigors of tour
nament play and that they weren’t
on a par with the out of city teams.
So the city eagers went to work
this year and lined up an inten
sive pre - conference schedule
against out-of-town opponents.
There's not a Minneapolis team
that will not have played a dozen
games by the time the tournament
season rolls around.
All these games showed Minnea
polis to good advantage and gave
the city boys the chance to prepare
themselves very well for what pro
mises to be the hottest city cam
paign in years as well as increas
ing the statewide interest in high
school basketball no small bit.
The Edison team made a fine
showing against the champions of
South and North Dakota. It’s just
a matter of time before the city
officials will be looking for games
with outstanding high school teams
in Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan,
Illinois and lowa.
The same is true of high school
football. South went to Lincoln,
Nebraska, and made an impressive
showing in a one-sided victory.
South next fall will play at Hib
bing in what should be another
grand game.
They’re starting to travel and it
means that the Minnesota high
schools will be bidding for more
glory. And, incidentally, the educa
tional advantages are not bad,
either.
DRIVE STARTED AGAINST
OBSCENE MAIL IN U. 8.
Encouraged by the 15-year feder
al penitentiary sentence meted out
to Gayle R. Cleveland, of Pensaco
la, Florida, alias Miss Georgiana
Clayton and Miss Gayle Cleveland,
on charges of sending obscene mat
ter through the mails, the Postal
Inspection service has launched a
nation-wide drive on obscene cor
respondence clubs conducted thru
the mails, it was announced at the
Post Office department last night.
Cleveland was the operator of
"The Letter Club Different,” one of
numerous obscene corresponding
clubs which have for their purpose

the mutual exchange of obscene lit
erature, photographs and drawings,
and which have been uncovered by
postal inspectors in various sections
of the country. The Pensacola “Let
ter Club Different” of Cleveland,
was conducted in the same manner
as are the other obscene correspon
dence clubs which are now the sub
ject of a far-flung roundup by the
Postal Inspection service.
As operator of the "club," Cleve
land would insert advertisements
in the cheaper magazines offering
for a small fee, usually ten cents,
to put interested persons in touch
with others of either sex who were
interested in the exchange of liter
ature and photographs of an ob
scene nature. Upon remitting the
original fee of ten cents the per
sons answering the advertisement
of "The Letter Club Different"
were then forwarded an identifica
tion and descriptive blank, which,
when properly filled out and re
turned to "The Letter Club Differ
ent” gave a minute description as
to the sender’s age, weight, height,
features and physical measure
ments in addition to stating the
type and sex of the person with
whom they wished to correspond on
obscene, lewd and lascivious sub
jects.
