Fifty years ago — Aug. 5, 1965 — the DNT reports of Norwegian seamen giving the Twin Ports soccer team “an hour of stiff competition … with the local booters squeaking out a 1-0 victory.”

The match between the Twin Ports team and members of the Norwegian ship “Anina” was played at the Park Point recreation center as part of Duluth’s annual Portorama celebration.

Pat Zaimes, nominal captain of the home team, kicked in the winning goal in the second period on a pass from Adam Jaros.

The team hopes to play again at 5:30 p.m. Sunday on Park Point if there is a ship in port that can muster a team.

These two six-day old lambs are among rarities displayed at the Tri-State Fair in Superior. They constitute the second lambing this year of a Western-Shropshire ewe owned by Roland Marschall, Amery, Wis. Showing the lambs is Miss Darlene TePoel, who today becomes queen of the fair.
