It consisted of a one act play given by each of the three Slovane dramatic clubs, namely, Christ the King Lodge, Ivan Cankar anh Triglav; several numbers by each of the two singing societies, “Zarja”; and a march and an overture by the Band “Bled”. A very large crowd attended both the program in the after- noon and the dance in the eve- ning. Boy-such comedy! Outside of such stars as Wallace Berry and Buster Keaton, there are few in the cqmmunity, who have the talent that Frank Bradač has! Some comedian! Great!. He and Louis Oblak vvere the stars in the play presented by the Christ the King lodge. Crovvds! You jprqbably vvit- nessed the great crowd that at- .ended the St. Vitus Church be- nefit show last Sunday! Such a mob! Approximately four hun- dred people were turned avvay, because of lack.of seats! Mr. John J. Grdina, our own Slovene magician, was the big feature on the program. He was ably assisted by the Slovene Hour Radio Staff, urjler the di- rection of Dr. Wm. J. Lausche. We congratulate the perform- ers upori their excellent pro¬ gram ! NEWBURGH GIRLS ORGAN- IZE SCOUT TROOP Local Leadership and Local Slo¬ vene Girls Working Hard to Make First Attempt Successful While we’re stili on the sub- ect of crowds, vre must teli you about the large crowd at the Comrade social last Tuesday evening, which was held at the Neighborhood Center.

Oman, the young ladies and girls of St. Lavvrences parish have organized a troop of girl scouts under the leadership of Miss ^ Owens who at pres- ent is busily at work training the local material for leadership and conducting the meetings of the Girl Scouts. Later it is planned that the work vvill be taken čare of by vvomen of the community who are now attend- ing training classes. In ansvver to the initial call for the organization about 25 girls have been enrolled in the troop and are progressing in the outlined program for Girl Scout- ing. Since there is an air of novelty about the vvhole organi¬ zation the vvork is progressing very fast and before the enthus- iasm vvill have a chance to dit down the leaders plan that the Girl Scouting program vvill havt a chance to be put across. The program as it is outlined novv includes the training of adult leadership vvhich the more elderly vvomen of the neighbor¬ hood- have undertaken and are progressing very rapidly. As far as it is knovvn the Ght Scout troop in Nevvburgh is the first of its kind to be undertak¬ en in a Slovene community vvhich explains why there are no trained leaders among the Slo¬ venes to take čare of the vvork. It is vvith a feeling of expen- mentation that the project has been started vvhich the leaders and the Scouts feel that they vvill have to succeed to shovv that it is possible and also en- courages the establishment of similar organizations in other localities. The vvhole project is unique among the Slovenes and is being vvatched vvith much in- terest. Slovene Historical Ex- hibit Shown in Chisholm Articles in Connection With Bis-1 1 hop Baraga and Msgr.

They have thus gained for themselves a reputation for the vvonderful time everyone enjoys at their dances. Good mušic for dancing and : refreshments vvill also be served. Everybody is in- vited to attend. The people of Chisholm Minn. are having an unusual exhibit of the articles and implements vvhich vvere used by the first Slovene Bishop Frederic Baraga in America and of the articles vvith vvhich Msgr. Joseph F. Buh are identified. The exhi- bit containing many interesting articles are at present on exhi- bition in one of the leading dovvntovvn stores in Chisholm. The items of the exhibit are the property of Matt Podgorelc, one of the pioneer residents of Chisholm vvho vvas personally acquainted vvith Msgr. Buh the last of the tvvelve missionaries brought to this country thru the influence of Bishop Baraga. Local Items of Intrest In the exhibit vvhich is novv attracting much attention of the people in Chisholm there are several historical arncles of the early days of Minnesota and in¬ cludes various stone tools and equipment of Indians gathered in Minnesota. Several of the articles of the early settlers vvhich are inc’ud- ed in the exhibit are oil paint- ings vvhich vvere sent from the old country. to the missionaries vvho vvorked vvith Bishop Baraga and Msgr. Buh. Works of Art The last of the Slpvene mis¬ sionaries vvho came to this coun- try at the behest of Bishop Bar¬ aga vvas Msgr. Buh vvho diied 8 years ago. The collection vvill have several pictures painted and several partially completed by Joseph F. Buh. The interest in the missionar¬ ies and the first Slovene Bishop in America has reached a high peak during the last summer and several cities and many of the Slovene communities of the U. S. have been active in cel- ebrating the anniversary of the coming of Bishop Baraga. It vvas on December 31 one hundred years ago that Frederic Baraga stepped for the first time on American soil and started his vvork among the Indians of his- toric Northvvest. With the aid of tvvelve missionaries he cover- ed the territory betvveen Cincin- atti and Chicago as far north as Duluth in the meantime he be~ came an expert at the Indian language. He vvas the first mis- sionary to vvrite a complete dic- tionary of the Indian language vvhich is stili used as a refer¬ ence in the study of American early ethnology. May Come Here It is rumored that parts of the exhibit vvill be traveling from city to city so that ali of the American communities U vvhich the Slovenes live vvill have an opportunity of seeing the m- teresting things vvhich are ie- vered in connection vvith Bishop Baraga and his compainions iit the missionary vvork among tne American Indians.

National Home by a combina- tion of six cultural societies. It vvas not a banquet of things to eat but it vvas a mental banquet vvhich proved that the cultural interests in Cleveland are very much alive contradictions not- vvithstanding. The Slovene Band Bled, the singing section of tne Socialist Club, the dramatic sec¬ tion of “Christ the King, K. S K.J.” lodge, dramatic society Triglav and the dramatic socie ty Ivan Cankar together vvith th e singing society Zarja have provided one of the most out- standing events that so befit- tingly came betvveen the old and the nevv year. Musič Numbers Make Them Interesting The article is very interesting and discusses the matter of holding the meeting of English speaking lodges. With quite an effect Mr. Kolar shovvs that leadership of the lodge is vitally responsible for making or the breaking of the špirit of the nevvly formed lodge and proposes plans of remedying the condi- tion in vvhich the lodges so fre- quently find themselves listless meetings vvith scarcely a quor- um to open the meeting. His ar¬ ticle shovvs much experience in the line of lodge activities and if his instructions are follovved out in the špirit in vvhich he pro¬ poses them there should be no difficulty in holding any group of people together and making them like the meetings vvhich Mr. Louis M. Kolar should be reduced to the minimum vvith official business. With acumen he points out that the lodge should be a plače vvhere young people get acquainted vvith each other and find out the activities and thereby can be held together as a nationality group in vvhich they can find their sphere of vvork and co-operation. Fraternity Magazine Fraternity is the official or¬ gan of the Foreign Language Information Service, a nationa’ body vvhich seeks to co-ordinate ali the activities of the foreign language groups and serves as an information Service of ali the activities of foreign language groups. It has connections vviiih ali the foreign languages and vvith those connections it pub- lished in the Fraternity some very fine interesting activities of the groups and is a source of information that is not treated othervvise in any other publica- tion. With kind permission of the author and the publishers, the Cleveland Journal vvill reprint the article in the near future. and no information has been available on that point. It is hoped that it vvill come soon. SPARTANS WORK HARD FOR FIRST BASKETBALL CARNIVAL Games and Dance Are the Out- standing Features of Affair at K. of C. Hall The eventful program vvas opened by the Slovene Band Bled vvith the marcial strains of Mladi Vojaki follovved by the beautiful and hard to execute overture “Morning, Noon anc Night in Vienna” but of vvhich the members of the band acquit- ted themselves very vvell. Fol¬ lovving the opening of the bane vvas the singing section of the Socialist Club vvhich sang in mixed chorus “Svobodo** after vvhich the male quartet sang “Delavski pozdrav.” Reminiscent vvas the “Ave Maria” from the opera “Gorenj¬ ski Slavček” sung by the Sing¬ ing Society Zarja. Beautiful even if complicated the members of the chorus measured to it in every sense and have given a idea of their abilities. The mix- ed chorus also sang “Koline” after vvhich the Male choir sang the “Je pa davi slanca pala” ar- ranged in a modern style. . The members of the singing societj Zarja also appeared in the in- termissions betvveen the plays that vvere played by the dram¬ atic societies. Concentrated activity preced- the shovv is said to be the haf- binger of the actual activity it- self. That -at any rate is the way the Spartans feel about the first Basketball Carnival that they are holding on Saturday night, January 10 at the Knights of Columbus gymnasium at 2612 Prospect Avenue. Activity and more intense ac- tivity is the vvatehvvord of the Spartans as they are preparing for the hugh Basketball Carni¬ val in vvhich their girls vvill meet the Comrades in a headliner that vvill be held as the feature of the shovv that evening. The members of both aggregations are spending much energy in rounding out the program so that everything vvill click vvith accuracy and precision. Dancing Too The preparations include a snappy basketball game be¬ tvveen the Spartans and the Comrades and a dance that vvill follovv under the direction of a snappy band. Preparations are under the committee appointed for this particular vvork and under th' direct supervision of Mr. Joseph Vanek the manager of the Spar¬ tan Basketball team vvhich i? appearing as a strong contender for the Inter - Frat honors in the local basketball loop. Mr. Joseph Vanek vvith John Menart and Herman Brandt are in the highest spirits over the memor- able occasion of the first Basket bali Carnival and are confident that there vvill be a great deal of interest aroused among the local šport fans so that many vvill appear for the occasion a J the K. of C. Gymnasium on January 10 at 7:30. Besides the game of basketball the com¬ mittee is stressing the fact that the dance alone vvill be vvorth the priče of admission. Every- body is invited to get in on the fun. Forty Piece Band Makes Appearance in Murgli Whole Community Endorses the Project With Excel’,ent Support ORGANIZED ONLY A MONTHS FEW Band Will Be Ready to Appear In Public As Soon as Weather Permits Dramatics “Passe” vvas not just an ordm- ary thing. Checkov’s Medved Ivan Cankar closed the pro¬ gram vvith the Russian sketch by Checkov “Medved”. Intense, poignant picture of Rissian life vvith a touch of humor the Can¬ kar players have managed to get The second part of the pro-. t h e špirit of the playlet and to gram vvas opened by the drama¬ tic section of the Christ the King players vvith a comedy “Kakršen gospod tak sluga.” With clever. acting and excellent characterization by Frank Bra¬ dač as the rookie and Nežka piayed by Miss Anna Junker the players reaped a good applause. The rest of the čast vvas also excellently represented by some of the best talent on the lodge Space does not permit a full de- seription of this as vvell as the remaining numbers on the pro¬ gram. With Nettie Kalish as the passe star seconded by the čast of Frank Turek, Frank Verbič, Matt J. Grdina, James Grdina the presentation of the Triglav players received many plaudits from the audience. The play- let vvas translated from the En¬ glish by Matt J. Grdina. Melo- dramatic and in places asking for a great deal of sympathy reproduce it faithfully. The play had only three characters and uncovered the talents of Miss Ziherle vvho made hsr debut vvith the excellent portrayal of the vvidovv. John Steblaj vvith a strongly emotional part play- ed vvell the collector’s role and managed to get applause. The third character vvas Anton Ep- pich. After the performance the merriment continued into the evening vvith a dance vvhich vvas held in the lovver hali of the Slovene National Home. Though the audience could be greater than it vvas, it vvas nevertheless satisfactory. With such a per¬ formance it is only too bad that more people did not avail them¬ selves of the opportunity of see¬ ing the plays and hear the con- cert and become even more con- vinced that the cultural interest of Cleveland are not vvaining in the slightest. There is a certain glamor and a certain attraetiveness that makes the young and the old sit up and take notice vvhen the band goes by. / Parade time n" the best time to notice hovv many feet keep time to the bass and snare drums as the band goes by and inspires in the heart of every boy and man an unex- pressed ambition that he too vvould like to play an instrument or is sorry that he did not have an opportunity of leaving ta handle an instrument. That is precisely the feeling that the young men of Nevvburgh have felt for a. long time but they did not stop vvith the desire of hav¬ ing a band to play in they got together under the leadership of Mr. Becaj and organized a band in vvbich they can realize their ambitions.

Last November the organha- tion staged a dance, the proceeds of vvhich vvere intended for the purchasing of the instrumenta thai are too expensive for the individuals to buy themselves It vvas also a manner in seeing hovv many people vvere interest- ed in having a band in the neigh¬ borhood. The crovvd that came to the dance vvas a sure sign that the band has the sanction of the vvhole neighborhood and that it is something that is in popular demand by the people themselves. The dance proved It is also interesting to note that the parents of the in- dividual players are patiently and encouraginglv bearing the initial learning process and the results are shovving marvelous- !y- Uncover Talent Several members of the band have shovvn unusual proficien- cy at the instrumenta they have chosen one of the youthful per- formers vvho has never played an instrument before has the unusual distinction of having learned the elements of mušic and the performance on the in¬ strument in the fevv months that the band has been organized.

IvOcal .Atmo.spli.ere In writing of ali sorts and especially in the schools and courses in English whenever the story is discussed there is always the perplexing problem of trying to find the elusive thing called “local atmosphere”. Crudely it is that element of any piece of vvriting that makes it breathe of the plače of which the story or composition is written. In the movies the local atmosphere is captured by the photogr.aphy of the plače in which the story moves. Thus if the story is of New York the movie company moves to- New York and some plače or other there is a flash on the screen of the skyline of- the largest city in our country. Sheik pictures must be “shot” in the desert or they lose their atmo- sphere. The following is a list of out- standing books published dur- ing 1930. A number of the books in this list have been pre- viously i'eviewed in the Cleve¬ land Jounal during the past year. The application of local atmosphere as far as we are con- cerned is to give the Cleveland Journal an aspect that it has much local Slo vene atmosphere. By local we do not mean nor vvish to mean that the atmosphere should be too local and be h confined to one community only. . It should include ali of the Slovene localities for the Slovene life in America is the thing that gives the local atmosphere to everything that we as Slovenes do. It may sound unbelievable but every reader of the Cleveland Journal is interested in every other locality and is interested in knowing what activities are taking plače socially, culturaliy or in the circle of sports. It may be said with ease that everyone is interested in ali of the latest movements that are taking plače in ali of the localities and seeing what is really being done. Building the local atmosphere of a newspaper is much different than that in a story or a piece of fiction. It is the composite thing that gives it the whole atmosphere.

We will say it softly, in fact, it is said in a bashful whisper, based on comments received that the Cleveland Journal is very much Slovene in sentiment and very Slovene in ideals. Idealism and sentiment do not make up everything. There is stili nece- ssary some help in making up the complete picture of the whole cycle of Slovene life in the various communities. Lately we have asked for a Christmas present and we are stili hoping to _jreceiye it and may. vve add to that that we, are interested in every iocality in order to make,the whole picture of Slovene life in the various localities teem with that local atmosphere of which we have been talking. It is necessary that everyone cooperate in or¬ der to make the thing stand out and make it impressive for the Cleveland Journal is being read by many people v/ho cannot read Slovene to find reports of the activities among the Slovenes. We would like very much to be in every community to see the things happen and report on them but \ve are tied down \vith multitud- inous duties and we cannot be there. It is for that reason that we are asking our readers to cooperate in giving the JOURNAL local atmosphere. It will work both ways. The Cleveland Journal wiil benefit and the readers themselves will find the Cleveland Journal j ust a little more interesting) to everybody. May we make the suggestion of making the Journal a meeting plače of ali work of the various localities and an exchange of melting pot of ali the various things that the Slovenes do and are intending to do.

Romantiv novelists prose vvritlng Simon Gregorčič and Levstik are the tvvo oul- standing names connected with the period of romance and realism copnected vvith Stritar’s “Zvon”. Paglia- ruzzi, Aškerc, Cimperman, Kersnik who have also con- tributed to the store and advancement of Slovene poetry cannot be counted properly into this period be- cause they have fully developed only in a later period. More widely developed vvas the novel and especial- ly in the direction of. Stritar‘s romantic and senti- mental novel vvith which he is closely identified. The novel vvhich shovvs the direction of the novel of this time can best be seen in Stritar’s “Svetinova Metka” and “Rosana”. Even more representative of the older novel form vvas the vvork of Josip Ogrinc (1844-1379) born at Pod¬ gorja near Kamnik and professor of nature study at Vinkovcic in Croatia. He tried his talents in noveis and drama. His most knovvn vvorks are the comedy “V Ljubljano jo dajmo” (Let us send her to Ljubljana) vvhich appeared in 1868 and the novels “Vojnomir”, 1871, “Setev in žetev” (Sovving and Reaping) 1875. The best of his vvorks are “Podobe iz narave” (Pictures from nature) and “Obrazi iz naroda” (Pictures of the Nation). Another representative of the age vvas Dr. France Celestin (1843-1895) professor in Russia and later in Zagreb. He began his literary vvork vvith some verses but soon shifted to novels vvhere he beccnm really famoas with his literary essays “Naše obzorje”. Ivan Tavčar. The most brilliant representative of the romanti ■ novel among the Slovenes vvas and is Dr. Ivan Tavčar. Ivan Tavčar vvas born in 1851 at Poljanih near Škofja Loka. He studied at the gymnasium at Novo Mesto and Ljubljana. He vvas graduated from the lavv school in Vienna. After passing his bar examinations he devoted himself to the profession of lavv as an attorney in Ljubljana in 1884. He beeame politically prominent as the state representative and as ambassador and lastly as the mayor of Ljubljana. Tavčar first appeared in the role of literateur vvhen the Zvon did not exist. He vvas the contributor to the annual publication “Zora”, published by Trs¬ tenjak and remained a constant contributor until the editor Janko Pajk did not get himself into trouble vvith the literary men in Ljubljana namely Levec. Levstik, Jurčič and Stritar. Tavcar’s Style. Extraordinary events, intense passion contrasted vvith humble fellings are the manner of his vvritings and form seme of'the best there is in Slovene litera¬ ture. Stritar’s influence becomes evident in the early vvritings of Tavčar. The influence can be traced to Stritar’s “Zorin” and is noiicable mainly in the first person parration and often in the content of the things told. Later Tavčar developed his ovvn style and infu^ed vvith his ovvn personality vvhich is shovvn mainly in the peculiar romantic irony in vvhich he pauses in tlie middle of a passage to make some iron- ic remarks about this or that contemporary fault. This romantic irony later is minimized and the vvrit¬ ings become a vvonderful example of realistic-roman- tic vvritings vvhich appeared in the “Vienna Zvon” in the “Ljubljanski Zvon”, so peculiar to ali literature. His romantic deseriptions of the castle' and the people who lived in them are classic examples of the Slovene novel. Peculiar as it may seem he combined in many of his vvritings the realistic aiid the romantic trends into one vvhole. The stories vvhich he told vvere very rcmantically piaced into k realistic baekground of plače and time vvhich the author himself has ex- gerienced. This characteristic is noted most in “Ivan Savi” and the pictures of his birthplace Škofja Loka “Med gorami” (Among the mountains) among vvhich the best are 'Posavceva češnja” (Posav’s Cherry) and “Sarevčeva sliva” (Sarev’s Plum). One of the best of Tavcar’s novels is a picture from the religious battles and religious troubles vvhose locale is Škofja Loka, “Vita vitae meae” (Life of my Life). In the novel of the times of Leopold I., “Ivan Solnce”' there are traces of satirical nature of Tavčar vvhich has been so vvidely developed in contemporary literature. The best ex- ample of this characteristic is seen in “Mrtva srca” (Dead Hearts) and especially in his satirical Utopia “4000” and the extensive historical novel “Izza kon- gressa” (From the Congress). With the “Cvetje v je¬ seni” and vvith the culturo-historical novel “Visoska kronika”, he returned to his loved mountain country. Pavlina Doljakova. Comparable to Tavcar’s early novels are the no¬ vels of Pavlina Daljakove married Pajk. She vvas born in Padua of Italian and Slovene stock and vvas raised as an Italian. It was only after she lived vvith her uncle in Solkan as an orphan that she beeame com- pleteiy Slovene. In 1876-she married the editor Prof. Janko Pajk and lived vvith him in Maribor, Gradec, Brn and Vienna lastly in Ljubljana. Her literary vvork vvas begun vvhen she began publishing a series of poems in the Zora vvhich she collected and published in 1878. Soon hcvvever she devoted ali of her time to novels. She studied Stritars vverk and beeame inbued vvith his style. The effects of her studies can be plainly seen in her “Odlomkih iz ženskega dnevnika” (Se- lections from a Woman’s diary). She is definitely ro¬ man V/ in style and speciaiizes in the delienation of feminine character vvhich inter \stes her most. Of sim- ilar content are the stories she vvrote for the “Kres” and the Ljubljanski “Zvon”. For the Mohor Society she vvrote some popular folk tales and -beeame interest¬ ed in ethical question concerning vvomen, love friendship etc. From Stritar’s ROmantic school came also Anton Koder but Jurcic’s influence is also shovvn in his vvork. Anton Koder-vvas born at Radomelj near Kamnik in 1851. Ile v/as a postal official in Tyrol and later lived as a retired man in Ljubljana. His first attgmpts vvere some verses but he beeame interested in novels and vvas T the principle contributor to the “Kres” a news- paper published in Celovec. Dr. Jakob Šket is ran^ vvith Anton Koder for his contributions to Slovene l'’ terature vvhich consisted mostly in some novels. principle contributions are “Milko Vogrin” and -m klova Zala” the later a historical novel of the Tur^h. inroads into Slovene lands. His principle farne, M 9 ' ever, rests in his activities for literature in the Slov eilt | schcols. The mor h b IL, 'ts > el s t '-tu h Fran Levec. interesting prose vvriter of StMl circle is Fran Levec. He vvas born at Jezica nearh , ' bljana in 1846.

Don’t loft the bali. . Don’t play the side bali until you have mastered the center delivery. Don’t throw the bali; roli it Just as you vvould if pins wei.i twenty-five feet away. Don’t deliver the bali vvith vight foot in front. Donit start your delivery vvith a jump, vvalk fast four steps.

Johnny Milavec as usual crashed a niče series totaling 609. Max Sitter’s 236 game vvas the sparkler for the Utopians.

Suhadolnik get¬ ting soft-hearted ? Most Everythin’ First and foremost vve masti cite an instance that occurred some time ago. It may also help to clarify the perplexed minds of a good many. So vve vvill quote the čase in question. A member of a certain club vvanted to know vvhy his club did not get any publicity. Fur- thermore he argued “Even when vve hold 'a dance you never men- tion a word. What is this a racket or somethin’.” We convinced the young gen- tieman that vve have never re- fused any (nevvs fnatter that came into our office on time; that is before vve went to press And in his partieular čase vve again proved tojiim that unless h e told us of his doings vve in turn could not inform the puhlic. We can obtain some news but cannot get ali the news ali the time, much as we’d like to. Isn’t it silly for anyone to as- sume that vve are so to say sort- ing out the nevvs to suit oursel- ves? Bah! Not yours truly-~- wasn’t brought up that way. So if anyone has been ove/- looked in the past, he might ask himself this question. Have I done my part in seeing to it that the Cleveland Journal did get some information regarding oui affair? Just a scribbled note wi'i do. Whether it’s a dance, wed- ding, murder, scandal or athle- tic activity—let’s have it! We’ve heard of baseball, foot- ball, etc. But a Cinderella Bali is a new one for us. The Klever Kids Klub are introducing it Saturday at the Slovene Work- men’s Home on Waterloo Road. It vvill not be necessary to vvear any athletic clothes, shin guards or catching 'gloves. Ac- cording to reliable information it vvon’t be an athletic comest, but a dance. The Kids are giving a pair of slippers to the girl vvith the daintiest feet. And ever since the announcement has ’ been made the merchants have been doing a brisk business in ho- siery. The girls evidently don’t vv-ant their little toes to peek out of their stockings, vvhen they slip off ther gondolas. Out in the same neck of the woods but a few paces south vvill be the Collinvvood Booste 1 ' Dance at the Slovenian Home on Holmes Avenue. Johnny Grib- bons vvill play. Among the many„, holiday knockouts that vve heard of and savv the best vvas the Stan Yae- ger kayo. No it vvas not via a Johnny Buli knockout. This vvas on the up and up. Stan lost to Willie Ritchie a month ago. Svvore that oni,the return match he’d win. Just too bad for Stan. Ritchie bounced the Pampas Buli against the ropes so hard he broke tvvo ring posts and stopped the show. > Knovv Tony Kuhel the ehap vvith the hearty laugh? There’s talk of his getting hooked up.

Skully and Udovič tallied 596 and 553 respectively, to star for the Supplies. Pozelnik’s 587 vvas the bright spot for the sle. It vvas left up to the Sokols and Flashes to appease their desire. An they did.. Both teams are rivals hav- ing finished one-two in last year s games. Holding the Flashes scoreless until but five minutes of the last quar- ter vvas left to play, the Sokols again came on top being on the long count of a 15-4 score. “Lefty” Ann Gasparič did fine guarding, by holding Jo Laurich, Flashes main scoring threat, to one basket, and that in the last minute of play. Whee!! The open- ing vvhistle blew and the game vvas on. Sokols drew first blood on a free toss by Klopec. That ended the scoring for a whole half. Playing as if in- spired, both teams displayed stellar defensive work. Guarding vvas the byword for the night. With the score 1 - 0, at the half, it vvas a question as to vvhich team vvould first score. In the third quarter, Kushlan, sub- stituting for Brezovar, went on a ram- page that resulted in four baskets Breaking the ice vvith a neat short shot, she follovved vvith another from the center of the floor.. Receivinv a pass, from Knaus, Vera again tallied for the gymnasts. Dribbling thru the entire Flashes quintet she once again scored. ending the quarter vvith the score 9-0. “Lefty” Gasparič opened the last quarter by making good tvvo free throvvs. In a fierce mixup under the basket “Jo” Zalar, broke loose vvith the bali and scored the firsi points for the K.
