The games were played before an all-time recoid turnout at the big Rooevelt layout. An estimated 3.300 fans jammed every bit of space in the fieldhouse with several hundred i ruvvi'n HP 1 si 4 r- standing in the aisles and around the edges of the floor while many hundreds had to be turned awav as the doors were locked a quarter of an hour before the first game got under way.

AT ATLANTIC Glake-Gaielle Pkete HEY, JOE, I WANT ITI This could be a leg show (just look at that entanglement of thighs and calves) but it happens to be Forest City and Mason City players scrapping for a rebound off the Forest City basket in the 1st quarter of Friday night's class A game.

No. 77 is Ken Riekena of Forest City who is ready to join the other 4 players in the fight for the ball. No. 8 is Duane Jewell of JIason City, who appears to have the best clamp on the free ball. No.

33 is John Eymann, Forest City guard. Mason City won the game 27-26. Davenport Beats Defending Hawks 41-32 LIGHTS OR DARKNESS? On Mondar the voters of Mason Citr will decide hether a large bond issue should be floated to install more and better lights for outdoor night activities at the southside Mason City sports center, Roose velt field and stadium. The coat? Yes. $:0.00 Is a lot of money.

But spread out over the ears Is it really at much? Mason Citr is now estimated to have a population. Over ill year period it would actually cost II cents per person per year provide a much needed improvement Objections have been raised that there are other hool improvements which require more immediate attention. They too should be corrected but that hardly stands up as a valid objection. That's like saying a certain street shouldn't be resurfaced because another cannot be at the same time. This lsn a selfish battle of individual interests; it's a question of general city improvement.

The petition, as drawn op, calls for new lights at Roosevelt field. It is the intention, however, that the lights, as Is the case with the ones now in use, would be used at BOTH Roosevelt field and Roosevelt stadium. The poles at both sites are there and it's a matter of changing the huge reflectors from one site to the other as demanded by the particular event being staged. The lights now in use at the 2 layouts are just plain terrible. Shadows interfere with night base ball at Roosevelt field.

The lighting in the stadium for football is even worse. When the teams get to the far ends of the fields the fans must guess what's going on there isn't enough light for normal ision to follow the game. There can be little question as to the need or desirability of new lights. Next fall we have 8 home foot ball games, 4 each for the high school and Junior college. This spring Mason City has been award ed the state high sthool baseball meet and it would be desirable to hold at least one session at night This is a top event Also this spring.

Mason City will be host to the Big Seven track and neia meet and the finals are scheduled at night Terhaps Mason City can- be host to the top Legion baseball tournaments which packed in nearly 5,000 fans per session last summer. Then. too. the annual band festi val features a windup night session before a throng of people who want to see as well as hear. There are many other big crowd events that can be staged under light, real lights.

McKenley Friday night blurred around the Illinois armory for a new American indoor 440 mark of 48 seconds flat In preliminary competition of the Big Nine meet There is no world record for the quarter-mile indoor, but McKenley, who probably will represent Britain in the 1948 Olympic games, last spring galloped to a new world outdoor mark of :46.2 in the Big Nine championships. Six watches, and only 3 are necessary for the record book, were glued on McKenley as he set his own pace and finished 35 yards in front of a capable field for the new American standard which shaved a tenth of a second from the :48 1 mark McKenley shared with Bob Ufer of Michigan.

Three clocks caught McKenley at 48 flat, one at :47.9 and two at 48.1 McKenley's time for the first 220 was :22.1. Another new league record was registered in Friday night's six- event trials as Paul Miller of Purdue, outdoor champion, broad-jumped 24 feet, 51 inches to better the previous record of 24 feet 2j inches set by Lloyd LaBeach of Wisconsin last year. Although Ohio State outscored Illinois, 13 to 10, in qualifies for the broad jump, 60 yard dash, 70 yard low and high hurdles, 880, and 440, the Illini were heavily favored to outstrip the Buckeyes in the 12 event finals. Following Ohio State and Illinois in the qualifying parade were Indiana with Wisconsin with Michigan, Northwestern and Purdue with 4 each; Iowa with and Minnesota wi'Ji 2. MOOSE QUINTET WINS Charles City --Charles City's Moose basketball quint took the measure of the Grundy Center Legion basketeers here Thursday night 46-44 in a closely played game.

The honeymoon was over for Kiemme beginning in the 3rd quarter. Leland Bornstein, burly Rudd guard, moved into the hole position for his team in that stanza and dropped in 4 buckets to pace a 14 point attack that sent the Rangers ahead 24-20 by the Doors Open at 6 The doors to Roosevelt field-house will be opened at 6 o'clock Saturday evening for the district basketball finals.

Folkerts topped the Rudd scor ing with 12 points while the great rebound work of Kock and Born stein had much to do with the Kiemme downfall. Even in defeat. Jacobs was a standout for the losers with his fine defensive work and good rebounding off the backboards while the peppery Grossheusch was their chief offensive threat and he finished the evening with 9 points.

The class A windup game was another one of those thrillers which had the packed house on edge throughout the game. The free throw which Zahariades made just before the final gun was the only point made by Mason City In the last quarter but it was enough to provide the Mohawks with their 21st victory of the season. Before heading into the final quarter, the Mohawks had a 9-point lead at 26-17 but the fiery Indians of Coach Lloyd Gnagy came within an eyelash of snatching a victory from the larger Mohawks. The Indians jumped into a 3-0 1 lead in the 1st quarter but a pair of fieldgoals by Big Lefty Lewis, a gift shot by Tom Waggoner and a follow-In by Charley Bennett enabled Mason City to take a 7-5 lead before John Eymann caged a pair of gift shots for Forest City to knot the count at 7-7 as the quarter ended. Three straight buckets by Bennett, Lewis and Waggoner put the Mohawks into a 13-7 lead in the early part of the 2nd quarter but long shots by Eymann and Dean Rye cut the margin to 13-11.

Duane Jewell hit a short shot for Mason City but Herb Thompson and Eymann matched the bucket with a pair of gift shots. Just before the buzzer ended the half, Jim Chimbidis, Mohawk guard, cut loose with a long shot from behind the middle stripe and to the side of the court near the scorer's bench and it split the net to give Mason City a 17-13 half-time lead.

With about 1 minutes to go in the game, Herb Thompson hit a follow-in to knot the score. With only 4 seconds of play remaining, Eymann fouled Zahariades as Zahariades inter cepted a pass and drove down the court and tried a shot The foul was only the 4th called against Forest City in the entire game but it was costly and the little Mohawk guard calmly swished the net for the game winning point. The Mohawks elected Gi'S ZAHARIADES His Gift Shot Wins to take the ball out of bounds instead of trying for the 2nd gift shot. The ball was passed into Zahariades who took off dribbling toward the Forest City basket and the classy floorman kept possess-sion of the ball as the buzzer sounded ending the game. Lewis was a standout for Mason City with his excellent rebound work and his accuracy on his favorite hook shot paid dividends as he topped the scorers of both teams with 10 points.

Jewell was a bear on defensive rebounds and with Lewis he kept the Indians from getting very many rebounds off the Forest City backboard. Tom Waggoner played alert ball and chipped in with 7 points while Bennett continued his good play in tournament ball. Eymann, senior guard for the Indians, topped their scorers with 9 points and turned in a great game at guard as did Herb Thompson from his defensive post in the hole. The loss was the 5th for Forest City in 22 games. Fight Results (Bjr The Associated Prt) New Tark Artie Leine, 1M.
