WINNING IS DIFFICULT 'Iff HiVi. VV St. Norbert college basketball team closed its intercollegiate schedule unimpressively Saturday night in the college gymnasium by defeating Concordia of Milwaukee, 44 to 34.

Although the Knights got their point-a-minute average in their seventh victory in 13 starts, they couldn't click effectively against the Falcon squad, which is small and should have been completely eutclassed by the rangy St. Norbert team. As it was the Falcons effectively stopped the Saints from running up too large a lead ft any time and were generally pesky throughout the evening. St. Norbert got its point-a-minute on a long basket by Leroy Floriano late in the second half.

Gabby Ilartnett, manager of the Chicago Cubs, took the wheel in the pilot house of the channel steamer that carried the first Cub contingent to the training camp on Catalina island, off the California coast.

The Gibraltar High school Vikings, undisputed Peninsula champions, suffered a surprise defeat, 20-18, at the hands of a fast Mishicot quint on the Mishicot home grounds Friday night.

The other Peninsula league game was equally close, Brussels topping Luxemburg, 15-13. At Mishicot both teams started fast, Gibraltar running up nine points in the first period to Mishi-cot's seven, six of which were due to Skwor, Mishicot guard. The Viking's two-point lead dropped to one at half time, the count being 12-11. The Viking offense was not quite as smooth working as usual and added to this they were bewildered by the lightning-like attack used by the Mishicot squad. The tide turned in the third period when Mishicot took the lead and kept it until the final horn.

The final minutes were marked by a desperate struggle to score on the part of the Vikings, but to no avail. Skwor, was outstanding for the victors, playing a good all around game and running up 11 points, while Willems and Eckert, both showed up well for Gibraltar.

I DO you KNOW I CPkA We'll Gladly Explain MILLER-RASMUSSEN JCE COMPANY St. Norbert College Cage Teams in Grudge Battle. The game that is expected to settle the St. Norbert college varsity-frosh argument as to which is the better team will be held tomorrow night in the college gymnasium.

The game is being played for the benefit of the college Varsity club, lettermen's group. Ever since the frosh held the high-scoring varsity to a 29 to 20 count in the first game of the season, the freshmen have felt that they could give Coach Mickey Mc-Cormick's varsity squad a trimming. Accordingly the frosh challenged the Knights to a postseason game. George Waldron, Green Bay senior and president of the Varsity club, acted as the go-between and the tussle was arranged. Have Placed Posters Hoping to get the varsity's goat, members of the freshman class have placed posters in the college buildings showing what is liable to happen to the varsity in the contest.

Whether the. posters will serve their purpose in making the Knights forget about basketball remains to be seen. On the basis of experience the Knights have it all over the yearlings. In their starting lineup will be one senior, three juniors and a sophomore while the frosh will be just first-year men. However, if Coach Nick Miketinac's team is on, the college squad may have to look to its laurels.

Eight victories in 11 starts is the frosh record. The varsity has seven wins in 13 games. The public is invited to attend the game which starts at 8 o'clock. Bryne Bauer claims that the Oakhurst estate of V. Montague at White Sulphur Springs, W.

was the scene of the first organized golf club in America. He says that much research has been done to authenticate this, and that there is little doubt that as early as 1884 the Oakhurst club had five members by-laws and medals for which amateur match play events were staged at regular intervals. Fred Perry, British tennis ace, has been made a member of the famous Tin Whistle club.

second in the Western division each year. Cleveland handed Detroit its first defeat last season, a stunninr; upset. The Lions lost their second game to Washington, 7 to 5, being the score. The other defeats were administered by the Green Bay Packers, whom the Lions beat earlier in the season, and the Philadelphia Eagles. In addition to the Packers, Detroit beat the Chicago Bears and Cards twice last season, whipped Cleveland and also was victorious over Famous Backfield Star Agrees to Stick to Sidelines and Concentrate on Coaching Cleveland Indians.

CLEVELAND Earl "Dutch" Clark, the perfect football player, has played his last game. Thomas E. Lipscomb, president of the Cleveland Rams, announced today that Clark will devote himself exclusively next fall to coaching and rebuilding the Rams for their third season in the National Football league. Clark resigned as coach ot the Detroit Lions on Dec. 16 and signed a two-year contract with Cleveland.

Couldn't Do Justice "Under normal circumstances," Lipscomb said, "I do not believe a playing coach can do justice to himself as a player, or to the team, as a coach. It would be doubly difficult in Cleveland where we are attempting to build a championship contender. We asked Clark not to play. He has agreed." Clark, six times all National League quarterback, sought to retire as a player two years ago when he succeeded George "Pot- sy" Clark as coach of the Lions. At the end of the 1937 season, he announced that he was through, but he was prevailed upon by the Detroit owner, George A.

Ricn-ards, to remain on the active list last fall and participated in six of the Lions 11 games. Flayed Last Game He made his last appearance in competition Dec. 4 when, needing a victory to tie the Green Bay Packers for the Western division championship, the Lions 4 were beaten, 21 to 7, by the Philadelphia Eagles in the most astounding upset of the season. Clark's retirement removes from the active list one of the most colorful and respected figures in football. Since he broke into the league with the old Portsmouth Spartans in 1931, he has been regarded as football's greatest quarterback.

In addition to being a great field general, the Dutchman was a superb ball-carrier, matchless drop-kicker and a brilliant defensive player. National prominence first came 1o Clark in 1930 when he was named on the As sociated Press' All American team. This was the only collegiate all star team he made and his selection was a surprise to football fans as only those in the vicinity of his alma mater Colorado college had heard of him. Holds Scoring Record Shortly after he joined th Spartans, who later became the Detroit Lions, Clark became the league's ranking quarterback. He led the circuit in scoring in 1932, 1935 and 1936 and holds the all-time National league scoring record of 305 points, accumulated on 31 touchdowns, 65 points after touchdown and 18 field goals.

His consistently brilliant performances made him the most publicized pro player since "Red" Grange. Clark's appearance belies his profession. Of medium height and build, he is a scholarly appearing chap of 32, who wears spectacles off the field and moves unnoticed through throngs of hero-worship-crs. Won 14 Lost 8 Clark's record as a National league coach is 14 victories against eight defeats. The Lions won seven of 11 games under him in 1937 and again in 1938 to finish in LEICHT'S men men; thrive that they don't There is no times before.

not got a COUNTYWIEET Annual Grade School Cage Tourney Gets Underway. (Special to Press-Gazette) OCONTO FALLS, Wis. Upsets together with a barrage of closely contested matches featured the opening day's play in the county recreation department's fourth annual county grade school invitational basketball tournament. Eight games were played in the two lasses Saturday at the Oconto Falls high school gymnasium. The meet will be completed next Saturday when the championships in each of the two classes will be decided together with third place victors.

A combined total of approximately 800 persons witnessed the games. In First Game Games got underway at 9 o'clock when the Townsend Wilson Consolidated School jumped into an early 8 to 2 lead over Abrams and maintained the advantage at 8 to 5 at the half. They scored three points in the third stanza, and then held the Zahn quintet to a pair of buckets in the final stanza while they counted once from the field. Bob Flynn, Harry Kloss, and Edward Joas paced the winners with a pair of baskets each, while Howard Bartz, loser's center, was the games, leading scorer with six points on a pair of field goals and the same number of gift shots. The final score was 13 to 9.

Lakewood Wins Game Also in Class B's first round games Lakewood staging a powerful final period rally after being behind 8 to 5 going into the last quarter, ran up eight points while holding Coach Maas Mountain team to a single gift shot to win 13 to 9. Milt Iasaccson, with three field goals and two free shots, was the leading scorer of the game. In the only overtime tilt of the day, the Suring grades dropped the decision to Gillett's championship-bound quintet by a 21 to 18 count after the Anker-son five came from behind at the third quarter 16 to 6 to tie the count at 18 all at the end of regulation time. Dean Eklund and Dolph Krause with eight points each were highly instrumental in the Gillett win. Lena drew a bye in the first round and then took on Town-send in the only Class semifinal clash of the day.

With the Rafoth coached odds-on-favorite quintet holding two previous decisions over their opponent, the breaks seemed to be against the tourney favorite as it bowed to Russ O'Connor's well coached quintet 13 to 11, after making a strong comeback in the last half. Mountain dropped a 17 to 7 de cision to Suring in the first of the third place game series. Five In Class A With five teams entered in Class the only opening round contest pitted two Oconto fives, St. Joseph and Lincoln, together in the bitterest contested tilt of the day with Coach Kimball's Lincoln team finally winning 10 to 8. Semi-final matches sent Jefferson of Oconto onnosite Washington of Oconto Falls with the former coming out on top 16 to 10 as a result of some highly effective defensive play in the final three periods after being down to the Oconto Falls team 8 to 0 at the end of the first 6ix minutes.

St. Anthony of Oconto Falls, looking more like a classy high school team, was an easy victor in its game with Lincoln in the other semi-final clash as they trounced the invaders 22 to 8 mainly through the shooting of the forwards, Bob Morrow and Jimmy Johnson, who tallied nine and ten points each, the latter be ing sufficient to earn him the day's high scoring honors. St. Anthony and Jefferson will clash for the Class A championship in the feature tilt of next Saturday's program. KIWANIANS FINISH STATE TOURNAMENT Fuhrman Retains Bowling Championship of Club.

SHAWANO, Wis. The "Moosh-yarders," captained by Edward Sommers, won the championship in the 11-team city high school intramural league, according to standings released- by Robert J. Babington, faculty member in charge. Three teams, the Fighting Irish, the Globe Trotters, and the Jitterbugs, tied for second place one game behind. Distinctive name of the championship team comes from the local nickname for the town of Wescott, just north and east of Shawano, where Captain Sommers resides.

Asked early in the year if the spelling shouldn't be "Moose-yarders," Sommers firmly defended his own spelling. Rural league championship went to the Cardinals and Cubs, who tied among the four rural teams in an eight-game schedule. Rural teams will begin the annual tournament Tuesday, Feb. 28, while the city league tourney will get under way a day later, Babington said. The final standings: SHAWANO CITV LEAGIE ENTERS With a minute and a half to play it looked for a while as if the Knights would fail to reach their objective of 520 points in 520 minutes.

They needed 43 points and with the score at 42 to 34 the crowd began to yell for one more point. Floriano obliged to give this year'i St. Norbert the highest per game average of all teams in its basketball history. Schumacher High Scorer Maurus Schumacher, Stock-bridge junior forward, again paced the Saints in the scoring column with his six baskets and four free throws for 16 points to maintain his game average of 10 points. Schumacher got all his baskets the hard way and shared honors for the best floor game of the night with Phil McNulty, Columbus forward.

Howard Burke, only sen'or on the squad, played a good floor game and managed to get five points in his last game for the college. Harvey Krueger led the Falcons, with three baskets and a free throw. He was outshone on the floor, however, by pint-sized Wally Hardt, who managed to give me tt. Norbert guards a workout with his faking and stealing of the ball. Hardt got two baskets.

The game was rough with 21 personals called on the Falcons and 16 on St. Norbert. Phil Mc Nulty of the Knights and Jerry Kohn and Harv Krueger of the falcons were ejected from the game on personals in the second half. Four other St. Norbert play crs and three Concordia men had three personals each.

Holds Down Lead St. Norbert managed to hold its lcd in the first half mainly by not missing a single free throw out of eight tried. In fact, charity tosses practically decided the contest. St. Norbert got 15 field goals to 14 for the Falcons, but managed to sink 14 charity tosses to the Concordia team's six.

After taking an early 7 to 3 lead, St. Norbert was never really in great danger of being overcome. Once in the second half the Falcons crept to within five points of the Knights on a 34 to 29 count. St. Norbert then spurted and made it 42 to 32 shortly before the end of the tussle.

The halftime count was 25 to 15. In a preliminary game the St. Norbert frosh walloped a Powers-Hcrmansville. team, 35 to 17. The yearlings never were in trouble and Coach Nick Miketinac used two full teams during the contest.

Bob Coddington, Green Bay forward, paced the frosh again with three baskets and four free throws for 10 THE BOX SCORE CONCORDIA FG Hage, I Puseman. 0 R.

PULASKI, Wis.

Pulaski will draw the curtain on its basketball season Tuesday evening when it meets Bowler high school in the local gymnasium. Conquerors of the Shawano county club, 41 to 20, the earlier part of the season Alberts' team is an overwhelming favorite to defeat the invaders. Reputed to have improved vastly since its first tangle with Pulaski, Bowler may give a good exhibition but odds which include the home floor plus a readjustment of lineup that has improved team play a hundred per cent make Pulaski the team. Warm Up Battle The game will be the last warm up battle for a fairly successful Alberts' team. His crew have taken nine of 14 tilts this season and have been invited to play in the District tournament to be held at the Oconto armory March 8, 9, 10 and 11.

They will meet Marinette in their first fray. For Bowler a lineup consisting of Kubiak and Witthuhn are at forward posts, Styczynski at center and Kurowski and Polczynski at guards is expected to perform. The five are veterans of the season. All have seen action in every game with the exception of Sty-czvnski who missed a Shiocton melee. The squads of Bowler and Pulaski are scheduled to clash in the preliminary.

Pulaski's Juniors have lost only two of their games, one an overtime and the other by a single point margin.
