PILL uSBUY ELEVEN
DEFEATS BLUE cart
Close Play Marked the Meeting

sofa Teams. -
Special to The Journal.


Owatonna, Mimi, Oct. 13.-Pillsbury
6; Blue Earth, 4. That tells the story
of the most stubbornly fought contest
of the year on the local gridiron. It
hardly does Pillsbury Justice, since when
time was called Pillsbury was within
three feet of their opponents goal and
with ten seconds to play would have
scored another touchdown. The game
was interesting and uncertain from
start to finish.
In the first half Blue Earth gave the
local rooters, of whom thousand were
present, somewhat of a scare and it was
in this half that they scored their points
on field goal from the twenty-yard
line. In the second half PillsburY took
a wonderful brace and outplayed the
visitors at all points. Practically all
the playing in this half was in Blue
Earth territory and but for a couple of
unfortunate fumblcs at critical points
the score would easily have been trebled
for the locals: Freer, left half for Blue
Earth, played great game and made
several big gains. Morton, playing for
Plllsbury, showed good headwork and
general all round good playing. Pills

Cayou's Men Play a Great Game

Special to Tho Journal.


Urbana, Ill, Oct. 13.-The fast elev-
en- from Wabash proved tartar for
Illinois today. Playing aggressive and
speedy football, the visitors succeeded
in holding the varsity eleven to a 0
to 0 score in fast and furious battle
before 5000 cheering spectators.
1t was the first test Of the new play-
ing rules on Illinois field and Wabash
came with "sweep,'' but no such re-
suit had been feared by the Illinois
rooters, who had to hold, their breath
several times for fear that some break
of circumstances in the contest would
give victory to the red-garbed visitors.
In, the second half it looked as if
some chance might give the visitors a
score, for Illinois was forced to punt
from its goal line to where Pinckney
had dropped back from the ten-yard
freed the illini. The hoosier forwards
fought to block the kick and nearly
succeeded. -
The Him were unable to get togeth-
er and gain consistently on the college
men. The ten-yard distance seemed a
million miles to the rooters as they saw
the illini stemmed time and time again.
The hoosier ends were invulnerable
and the illini pulled off only few end
plays. A see-saw game ensued to the
end of play, and there was considerable
punting and scrambling for the ball.
The collegians were lucky in these mad
fights for the ball and gained too on
the frequent penalties which the Off
Gals meted out to the illini. :
The collegians tried the forward pass
frequently, but had Indifferent success.
They. were more lucky in getting the
ball on kicks. There was little Of the

Richards took long breath. TO

Mr.. Shuck stopped his pacing and
came over to. where Richards sat.

HIS LAST CHANCE
BY ROBERT AlTKEN

Even Mairi had little to say when
the irate doctor urged her to hold out
her strong young arms to the man
who was passively going out with
the tide.
The doctor was in despair. He
growled to the nursing sister in
charge, Tuning up and down the
passage. ITS worse than nonsense
The mans determined he must die,
simply because some fool in the
street mentioned the black sergeant
in his hearing. The black sergeant,
indeed! A man with his constitution
might pull through If he chose, but
well it's too bad, upon my world"
Now, Sister Mary was from the
mainland of Lorne, but she had been
long in Null, and had a very kindly
feeling towards the strong, silent peo-
pie of the island. Chons case was
one of many she had but too often
come across similar cases of blind
submission to the supposed decree of
fate.
That afternoon she stole ten preci-
ouo ihihutCo W 81 W lilC DOol ODlCS
by the quay and send away tele-
gram.
Five minutes after the Oban steam
er landed, an impatient young man
in wet suit of Harris tweeds
was asking at the cottage door for
Sister Mary. He was eager to re-
ceive her orders, that he might the
sooner carry them out. When he
heard what it was she wanted, he
turned quickly and made to depart
He was back again, however, before
the door was closed upon him,
saying:
I'll do it'll do it! Make it a
month, Mary, and I'll do it."
But the gray-eyed sister demurely
said:
mot one month, Alec; but maybe
two" and the young man rushed
away wildly.
1t was soon after this that Mairi
forbidden the sick-room, began to feel
the need of her absent lover verv
bitterly, for one or two of the lads
had begun to come about the cot
tage at the Fishnish again; not bad
hearted lads were they, but Mairi
was likely lass, and now that her
father was dead, and the man who
had SO long stood in their way was
minded to leave her, also, where was
the harm in showing that they, too,
could wait faithfully.
There was a newcomer amongst
them, gamekeeper from Lorne, and
not to be denied in his wooing for
all the black looks of the Null lads
and the mourning of the household
for him that was passing.
One day. sickle in hand, among
the grain, he asked Mari to marry
him.
She, the tear in her eye, answered
him straightly: NO" and the work
went on in silence, but that night
he sat late by the Preside and spoke
of young Chon, thing he had not
yet done.
"A fine man, the sergeant" he said,
land a pity that Null should lose
him; but what must be, will be, and
the ones that are left are those to be
pitied."
Mari, sewing by the lamp in the
window, wondered to hear him, but
he took no note of her, save that in
the morning he asked her again if
she would have him when the other
should be gone.
Chon's mother and Mairi took
counsel together, and next morning
set out afoot early, and the young
| man worked alone, smiling.
