"e'smann Will Not be In the Game
Thanksgiving Day Afternoon
Against the Fort Mad.
ison Team.
THE COMMENT is OUT
The November Number of Hqh
School Paper Issued Yesterday
Afternoon and 1t Is
Good One.

When the high school football
team trots on the field Thanksgiving
day afternoon for the final game of
the season, which will be played
against Fort Madison, 1t will be a
crippled lineup that Coach Merrill
Will put against the visitors It de-
veloped yesterday that Weismann,
who has been the mainstay of the
keokuk team In the kicking depart
ment and has been able to defend
Keokuk goal in that manner on many
occasions, will be out of the game on
account Of Injuries. He has a broken
nose, an injured back, and a sprain-
ed foot making 1t impossible for him
to enter the game Thursday The
purple and white will miss him great
ly as he is the only man on the team
able to put the ball for any distance
and with any surety. His kicking has
been feature of the last few games
and were the Keokuk players able to
advance the ball on punts, Weismann
would outpunt the visitors and valu-
able ground would be gained
Fort Madison is not unusually
strong this year and though crippled
team will be presented against the
visitors victory is looked for.
At present weather conditions will
not be favorable as might be expect
ed Throughout the season not bad
day has been met and it will prob
ably clear up and continue the good
record

The Minstrel Men.

Just before the curtain rose the en-
tire chorus assembled behind the drop
sang in a fine manner, "Everybody's
happy when the sun Shines" John
Nodler the interlocutor of the evening
then introduced Mr.. Chuck Jones who
sang to the delight Of every one,
"Possum Pie" Several encores fol-
lowed and he was forced to repeat the
laughable coon song several times.
Mr. Joe Martin was then called upon
by the interlocutor and stepped to
the front of the stage with hook as
if to sing but objections from the end
men were numerous but Mr. Martin
had no intention of favoring the audi
ence with song as he explained and
gave an excellent clog dance as his
delightful part of the entertainment
and responded to several encores.
One of the many other fine numbers
of the evening was the singing Of Mr..
John BRASIL who did his stunt and
song with the ease and grace of a pro-
fessional minstrel man as he is man
of much local and out side experience
in the minstrel line his song and ac-
complaining gestures with the song,
sHJust Because He Couldn't Sling
Love Me and the World IS Mine" was
great. Several times he was forced
to respond to the encores from the
large audience.
Mr. John Nodier, the interlocutor OF
the evening was next on the program
and rendered in fine baritone, the
beautiful love song, Some Day When
Dreams Come True" Mr. Nodler was
called upon for several encores and
his numbers We're especially pleasing.
His part as interlocutor of the even
ing's fun on the stage is worthy OF
special mention
Mr.. Smokey Miller was next call
ed upon and gave as his number, the
comic song, "All | Get Is There He
Goes" which was greeted with much
applause and Mr. Miller being min
strel man of much experience rem
dered his part of the program with
ease auQ responded W GuCOlSS.
The well known local minstrel man
Uncle" Walter Nodler was called
upon and responded with one of the
late song hits of the day Broke"
which called for a number of encores.
Waits makeup was especially COM
ical with the large sailor hat and
bright red streamers flowing from it.
Mr. Frank Westerhoff gave in his
pleasing manner an amusing song en-
titled, Fast, Fast World which made
a hit with the audience and Mr.. Wes-
terhoff gracefully responded to sew
eral encores before taking his seat.
Jack WEIGH, Keokuk's widely known
young tenor gave in his ever pleasing
tle pretty song, "On the Old
See-saw," which piece was rendered
beautiful by the joining in on the cho
rus by the other members of the min
strel troupe.
After Mr.. Welch's turn the closing
chorus of the first half of the even
ing's entertainment was brought to
a close by the singing of Summer
Time The curtain then dropped
with much applause.

Mr.. Henri F. Loewenstein had
charge of the second half of the even
ing's entertainment and introduced
each participant Miss Louise Klein
gave as the first number, 20 Loving

pecially so by those who appreciate
the singing of sentimental songs.
