WILL HAVE HARD GAME
Mitchell Football Team Has Its Worl
Cut Out to Beat Aberdeen at
Redfield Saturday.

Sheeks. captain, and Nolt, quar-
terback, of the high school eleven.
came home Sunday morning from
Aberdeen, where they witnessed the
game of football Saturday afternoon
bet veen Aberdeen and Britton,
which vas won by Aberdeen, the
score being SO to G.. The Brltton
eleven was not in the same class
With %berdeen, who bucked the
line and made otuer plays about
as they pleased. The wonder is that
Aberdeen permitted the Britton lads
to score on them az all.
Sheeks said Aberdeen had a very
strong team and that he did not
think for a minute that they bad
wa]kaway in the coming game with
Aberdeen which will be played next
Saturday afternoon at Redfield. He
said he realized that Mitchell would
have to play football every minute
the boys were on the gridiron. Sheeks
said that Aberdeen's players were
much heavier than Mitchell, and
would average from S to 10 pounds
more a man than Mitchell. They
have a strong line to buck In Aber-
deem and the latter are quite strong
on defense.
Arrangements have been made to
secure the special train over the Mil.
waukee road, the fare being .S2. IS
for the round trip. 1t is understood
that the special will leave Mitchell
at s 80 O'Clock In the morning. Many
business men hope that the promoters
Of the special train will arrange to
have 1t leave later in the day. about
II O'Clock, so they won't he taken
from their business the entire day.
The distance is short and it will not
take over three hours to make the
run. Many more people will doubt
lessly go II the train is not sent of
at such an early hour.
Mitchell should send a big crowd
up to Redheld Saturday, for there
will have to be some roofing done to
Offset the work of the Aberdeen
bunch who will be down there in
large numbers. The crowd should be
nothing short of 200.

UNIVERSITY NOTES

The local high school team trimmed
up the D. w. second team Thursday
afternoon with a score of 9 to O. In
the first half toe second team very
nearly scored, but at the proper time
the high school took a brace, the
University boys got a case of stage
fright and the ball went over on
downs. The high school punted out
Of danger and repeatedly recovered
their punts which the second team
was woefully unble to handle. Sheeks
made a touchdown in the first half
but the goal kick failed. In the
second half he made a beautiful drop
kick for goal from the thirty yard
line. The second team averaged
twenty pounds to a man heavier than
the high school, but showed a
deplo able lack Of team work.
Tue past week has been observed
as a week of prayer by the Y. M.
and Y. W. Christian Associations.
Well attended meetings have been

PRETTY SOUTHERN DRAMA
"under Southern Skies" Was Pre-.
sented to a Large Audience
Friday Evening.

If ANYBODY had an idea that they
we're to get let down on the attrac-
tion of "Under Southern Skies" as
something poor, they had their mind
disabused Of the thought long before
the curtain fell on the last act of
that beautiful southern drama.
Without question it was one Of the
prettlest and best dramas that has
been seen on the local boards for
some time. The drama is based on
a tine story that is unfolded gradual
lv throughout the play and 1t reaches
a Itch climax In the wedding scene
OF Leila Crofton and Steve Daubeny,
who has tricked the girl into a mar
ria2e on the intimation that there
was negro blood in her, and she con-
sented to the marriage to keep the
secret. The girls mother had eloped
l6 years before with another man
and he believed that her mother was
dead. On the day Of her wedding,
he Girl is saved from the marriage
by the appearance Of the mother,
and the bride discovers her mother
was a white woman. The story Is
brought up to a rich climax by some
very capable actors and actresses.
Miss Frances McHenry carried the
part Of Leila Crotton and she dis
played the warm and lmpulsive
nature OF the southern girl to a fine
degree, and many a time she was ap-
plauded for her acting. The major,
her father, was played by Thos.
Guise and he gave the best charac-
terization Of the southern courtly
gentleman that we have seen, and he
read his lines With a depth of feeling
and understanding that was interest.
ing. Maurice Stewart and Howard
Walsh were the rivlas for the hand Of
Leila and they made a fine pair of
workers 10 their pursuit, the former
triumphirg over the Vaccinations
Of Daubeny. who was unmasked so
tragically at the wedding scene by
the bride. Col. Paul Daubeny was
ably presented by George r. Seig-
man, and his makeup, his fiery tenn.
per and his speech vas all emblemati-
cal Of the southern colonel. The
three colored characters were pre-.
sented in fine shape by Miss WYlie as
Aunt Dcsey, Miss Vollmer as Amer
Lizer, who was a first edition of a
Topsy, Gus Livingston as Uncle
Joshaway. The scenery was quite
appropriate and made a handsome
setting for the four acts. One Of the
pretty genes was the Halloween
FRANKS of the young girls and later
the wedding scene.
The next attraction of the Gale
will be "Big Hearted Jim" next
Monday evening, a melodrama of
more or less excitement but not on
the blood and thunder order.
