LEGIONNAIRES TAKE LAKE CITY IN THRILLING BATTLE
Mazeppa’s Legion basketball team defeated Lake City’s Golden Loafers 45 to 43 Wednesday evening at the home gym.
The local ball club trailed the entire game until the last minute of the final period when they finally caught the visitors and went ahead to win. Lake City went into the lead from the beginning and at one time was ahead 18 points but the last period found Mazeppa beginning to sink their shots and through some very hard playing won the game.

Also we’ve been forgetting to mention Kerwin Engelhart’s thrilling trip to Hawaii with the Hamline basketball team. The group went on the luxury liner Lurline and will fly back Jan. 8.

THE MAILS GO THROUGH
Friends right across the street are at the beginning of one Rochester mail route. Mrs. Henry Cole is at the end of another. They get their mail first and she thinks Mr. Cole should do something about it---he carries the mail to his own home----Roy Stagg, Bemidji lumber yard employee, told the barber, Walt McClellan, that he had a message from Walt’s brother, M.J., in Cascade, Idaho. Walt asked “How come?” and Mr. Stagg produced a board just taken from a carload shipment, on which was written “If you see Walt, say hello to him from me,” with the brother’s name and address.
