Ripon College Football Team.

Western Wisconsin showed we'll
to the front in the makeup of the
Ripon college football team this
year. Although the Ripon team
failed to retain the championship
of the state, won in 1906 after a Sc
ries of the hardest games ever play
ed by Ripon team, it was not that
Ripon fell back this year that it
failed to retain the title, but because
the formation of parquette univer-
sity, giving the Milwaukee Catholic
college the additional material de-
veloped in the dental and medical
schools pushed an oldtime rival far
ahead. Next year, however, Ripon,
with it's new material developed.
expects to be able to give even big
parquette with its 900 men students
a close fight. The western Wis
consin students who had places in
the Ripon squad this year are as
follows: L. Thompson, New Rich
mond; Harold Mcneil, Mondovi,;
Floyd Bailey, River Falls. In addi-
ton TO these players Reedsburg in
Sank county furnished several of
the strongest members of the team,
including Joe SHETLAND, the star
fullback, and Glen V. Rork, another
crack player.

Thursday closes the foot ball sea-
son of 1907. Two games will be
played, the first beginning at l
o'clock, when the Graybacks will
meet the Washington school team
of Minneapolis. The Graybacks
have played three games this year,
winning two of them, and the game
Thursday will be good one. At
2:30. the high school will take on ST.
Thomas. Two years ago the St.
Thomas team was here and put up
a fast snappy game, keeping the
locals on the defensive all the time,
and forcing no score game. Rumor
has it that they are stronger than
ever this year, and as the locals are
also stronger, the game ought to be
a good one. Twenty five cents pays
to see both games. This will be
your last chance this year to see the
high school team in action. 1t will
pay you to see it, and it will en-
courage the boys if you buy your
ticket early and often.

Banquet Of the
Mems Brotherhood Club.

A unique organization known as
the Mems Brotherhood Club has
been formed in connection with the
general work of the Congregational
church. While its object is to pro-
mote the interests of the church
particularly, its scope is really
broader than simple affiliation, with
the purely religious part of church
work. That is, it's aim is to bring
men together to discuss the ques-
tons of the day, without partisan
ship or simply from the standpoint
of the church itself. To aid in the
furtherance of this work a banquet
was suggested, at which after the
eating of a good meal, the members
who felt so inclined might give ex-
preston to ideas which would to
some extent suggest the path to be
followed by the Club in its future
work.
On Friday evening last in pursu-
ance of this plan, the ladies of the
church prepared supper which
was served in the parlors of the
church at an early hour. The meal
was an excellent one, served with
careful attention to details, after
which the speech making was COM
menced with the following program,
President Brier presiding at the en-
tertainment:
After few remarks appertaining
to the general subject the President
called upon Mr.. F. D. Ensign to re-
spond to the theme, Lights of a
Business Mans Experience in a
Small City," after which Mr.. New
comb followed with "The Shadows
of Such Experience. The Social
Side of a Farmers Life" was re-
sponded to by Messrs. Peirce and
Whitcomb, following which Messrs.
Jay Grimm and Judge Allen P. Weld
gave their views of Things Learn
ed as a Lawyer About Men," Prof.
L. II. Clark spoke about "Expe-
riences as Teacher" giving cor
dial recognition of the feeling of the
people towards the schools of the
city. Some Humorous and Other
Experiences of a Country Doctor, "
called out pleasing "reminiscences
from both DR.. R. u. Cairns and DR..
T. w. Ashley.
The occasion was one much en-
joyed by all who had the good for
tune to be present. About fifty of
the business men of the place were
present and rendered material aid
in disposing of many good things
prepared by the ladies.
No better proof that business
men of the city can meet together
on common grounds and discuss
ethical questions of the day in a
manner interesting to all, especially
after the soothing influence of
good meal and fine coffee, than such
a gathering as this.

FOOT BALL, LAST
LEAGUE GAME
River Falls beats New Rich
mond Decisively.

In the last league game of the
season on high school campus, the
local high put crimp into any no.
ton that New Richmond had that it
was in the same class with RIVER
Falls in foot ball matters when, last
Saturday, it took the team from our
neighbor city into camp to the tune
of AZ to 0. Four weeks ago on the
same campus Galahad spoiled what
ever chance the locals had for a
clean title to the championship by
defeating them by a score of % to O..
Those who saw that game would
never have believed that the local
team could develop into the machine
that ran all over New Richmond,
and then some, last Saturday. There
can be no kind of doubt that Gala
had would have found the tables
turned on it in decisive style, had K
met the locals at the close of the
season instead of at the beginning.
Galahad on Tuesday beat New Rich
mond 10 to 0. River Falls on Sat
urday beat the same team AZ to 0.
The scores tell the story. The day
was perfect one for game, and a
goodly crowd was on hand TO cheer
the locals. For some Is minutes of
the first half, partisans of the visit
ing team had almost as much chance
to cheer as did the home people.
Then River Falls took the bit in its
teeth and started it's scoring machine
to working. Two touchdowns in
the next s minutes made the score
in the first half IL to 0. In the
second, the game was a runaway,
the locals scoring six touchdowns
and getting five of the goals, max
ing the final score as stated above.
The game was full of sensational
plays, long end runs, forward passes,
short kicks, long punts, fakes and
straight football following each
other in bewildering procession.
No team ever seen on the local grid
iron has shown such versatility of
attack, such profusion of we'll
planned plays, as the locals exhib-
tied in Saturdays game, Their de-
Tense was not as good as their
offense, but they were there with
the goods, and never allowed New
Richmond to become dangerous,
breaking up their attempted fakes
before they started, stopping their
line smashes before they could do
any damage, and blocking their
kicks more than half of the time.
From first to last every man was in
the game all the time, ready to take
advantage of every opening that pre-
sented itself. New Richmond
played a plucky game, and never
gave up fighting, though badly out
classed.

BY wining from Hudson Satur-
day by a score of II to 0, Galahad
cinched the football championship
of this region. They had good
team and won their honors fairly,
but they were fortunate to meet
River Falls when they did. A later
date would have told a different

among the newspaper men, but with
the general public that the news OF the
serious illness of Cartoonist Lovey

hope for his speedy recovery.

Snow Locomotives for Logging.

Snow locomotives for logging purposes
have been more generally used during the
past winter than ever before, owing to the
advances which have been made during the
past few years tn the construction of such
machinery, which makes their operation
convenient and economical. In some in
stances these machines take the place of
thirty or forty horses.
This statement means more than appears
at first glance, for the proposition OF caring
for such a stable Is often a very serious
one In the faraway location at which log
ging operations are usually conducted. A
snow locomotive OF modern build recently
performed the task of pulling nine sheds
loaded with 105 600 feet Of lumber dis
lance of six and one-half miles at Leech
Lake, MINI. Under ordinary circumstances
an average load Is from $1,000 to 75000
feet
The machine which did this Is a good deal
like a locomotive in appearance. The front
end Is supported on runners dexibly mount
ed and controlled by chains leading back to
the cab, and in this manner the motor Is
steered. Slightly to the rear OF the center
are two large wheels which are incased In
Traction" or tread. chains, one foot
wide 20 that the locomotive practically
carries its own track.
