N.W.S.A. A The Reuttell Sweaters Among the many friends of the Northwest school in the city of Crookston is the Reuttell Clothing Company. Their contribution of the Reuttell Sweater each year has done much to stimulate sportsmanship among the Aggies. For a number of years it has been the custom for the Reuttell Clothing Com- pany to award a sweater to the most valuable man on both the football and basketball teams. The most valuable man is to be voted upon by his fellow teammates, the Coach, the Crookston Daily Times and the Reuttell Clothing: Company. The sweater for basketball during the 1929-1930 season was awarded to Elmer johnson of Erskine who was chosen to be the most valuable man on the team. Lawrence Peterson of Gary was voted to be the most valuable man of the football team for 1930, by his teammates and the other voters. The entire team of both football and basketball wish to take this opportunity to thank the Reuttell Clothing Company for their contributions of sweaters and also their interest in our institution.

'llhe increased size of the basketball court has largely been responsible for this. ln past years the teams of this school have been seriously handicapped by the small gym. ln many instances our teams have suffered defeat at the hands of other teams on larger floors. This year our cagers have had opportunity to master the technique of basketball on a large floor. 'lihere were approximately forty-tive boys who reported for basketball the first night of practice in the new gym. Among the many new prospects there were four letter men from past years' teams. Harold flfargol Nelson, the captain elect, for the 1930-31 quintet, was unable to return to school, much to the sorrow of his fellow teammates. His absence has been keenly felt by all concerned, but our loss will be the gain of the next year's team. 'lihe Northwest School has also for a number of years boasted of a strong second team. This year's team has proved to be no exception. Among the second team mem- bers there are several who will receive letters, and there are a number of boys that will be back next year as material for the first team. Nluch of the school honors go to the second teams. Lawrence lflton and 'lihomas Cain, the famous sharpshooters of the Aggie team play their swan game this year. Fifty-fifw X
