diana, Hoop-pole township, fosey
county, can handle a pig skin, pig and
all, with greater science and more
pleasure to onlookers. The A. G. boys
were badly crippled at the start, and
the remainder insisted on breaking
their necks before the game was over,
while the Fort Douglass boys evident
ly had the impression that they were
fighting Filipinos from behind breast
works. They would fire volley, then
run piece and fall down. The am
bulance corps would quickly appear
and after rubbing a wounded shin,
shoulder or finger nail, the valiant
soldier boys from the Salt Lake mesa
would revive and do the same little
trick over again. The first half was
not really so bad as Marshall's parody
on Upham's poetry, but the last half
heightened itself into three-fourths
and disguised the spectators. jim
Langton refereed the first half and
Rev. John A. Axton, the fellow who
answers for the spiritual welfare of the
soldiers, occupied that position the
second half while Langton served as
umpire. Axton's decisions were as
rocky as those of Hardness during the
base ball season, and practically lost
the game for the A. G. team. BY
kicking goal from the field the boys
from the fort won out by score of 5
to 0, but considering the manner In
which the game was won there is very
little credit attached to 1t. During
the game Madsen, the mainstay OF
the A. c. line, attempted the billy
goat act on well set rock and as a
result his thinking apparatus was laid
up for repair. Sidwell took wooden
leg into the game and tried to fill the
vacancy left by Madsen's unfortunate
accident, and did very well. Guard
Howell got the trembles and Morteson
with a severe case of cramp collie took
his place. Considering the difficulties
under which the A. c. boys labored,
there is little cause for discourage
ment, and judging from the lusty yell
ing at faculty reception in the evening,
they were not discouraged. Merely
a combination of circumstances UNI
avoidable.
One of the most charming social
functions given this season was that
in honor of Prof. and Mrs. Ostein of
the A. c., at the delightful home of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. II. Thompson, on
Thursday evening of last week. The
spaciousness and artistic beauty of the
Thompson home make 1t an ideal
place for such gathering, and Mrs.
Thompson as hostess had everything
so nicely arranged for the comfort and
pleasure OF her guests that the eve
ming will ever be pleasantly remem-
bered by those present. For those
who had taste for active pleasure, a
ping pong set was provided and those
interested chased the celluloid sphere
to their hearts content: In the east
rooms cards were INDUCED in; and In
the other rooms conversational and
such other pleasures as are usual on
such occasions. During the evening
Mrs. Thompson and Mr.. j. K. Shepard
favored the guests with instrumental
music and Miss Ruth Evelyn Moench
gave reading that was well received.
At twelve, delicious refreshments,
consisting of salad, rolls, ice cream,
cake and coffee were served-which
were also well received. Not until
two o'clock did the guests feel inclined
to take their departure, and then it
was they expressed the pleasure that
was theirs in meeting Prof. and Mrs.
Ostein, and in having been the guests
of such excellent entertainers as Mr..
and Mrs. Thompson. Those present
were: Prof. and Mrs. Ostein, Mr.. and
Mrs. A. NJ. Flemming, Mr.. and Mrs.
Willard Langton, Mr.. and Mrs. j. f.
Shepard, Mr.. and Mrs. /. n. Smith,
Mr.. and Mrs. Swendson, Mrs. II. j.
Caskey of Salt Lake, Mrs. G.. H..
Champ, Mrs. Miner, Mrs. Gates, Misses
Hattie Smith, Hannah Jensen, Kath-
crime Smith, Flora Chamberlain,
Winifred Miner, Florence Miner, Ruth
Evelyn Moench, Drew Smith, Florence
Smith, Profs. Upham, Studdart, Hill
Messrs. Walters, Oldham, He'll, Brang-
ham, n. Ralph Moore.
We learn that DIR. Emeis, son of DR..
and Mrs. Cartwright, who visited here
during the summer, passed examina-
ton last spring with the highest grade
that had ever been given in the Balti-
more School of Dentistry. His general
average was 99.l, very nearly perfect.
Although but three terms are required
to finish the course at this institute,
when he returns to Logan next spring,
DIR. Emeis will have completed five
terms. This young mans high stand,
