High School Notes.

High School Notes.
Local athletic circles are all stirred
up over the basket ball game next Sat-
urday between the New Ulm and Still
water clubs. It will be battle royal,
for never did the local patrons of the
| game see arrayed against one another
two more apparently even-matched
teams. Saltwater comes here with the
laurels of championship in many a
contest of a year ago, and today she
bears the proud name of champion
of the state.
The New Ulm boys, on the other
hand, are thoroughly alive to what
they are up against and are pre-
pared to put up the game of their lives.
| Victory with them means everything
and victory is what they are bounu
to have.
! Friday evening the local team went
to Lamberton and won out over the
team of that village with score of Al
to 30. The same evening the girls
team played the girls of ST. James,
this being the first game played by our
girls on the home floor. They won
with score of 20 to Is. Alice Berg
man of ST. James was easily the star
center and Ruth Flaker, also Of St.
James, the star forward, but Emma
Riegler of the local team proved to
be, as usual, the best guard, while
Teresa Giefer distinguished herself in
throwing baskets from the foul line.
On Friday evening, too, the college
team tackled the boys of the Mankato
Commercial school. 1t was a hard
and fast game, at times dropping into
unnecessary roughness, but it was ex-
citing, because it was close. Mankato
finally won with a score of A to 80.
Next Friday quite a number of the
high school, pupils will take part in
the Lincoln Day exercises at the court
house.
Taft stories are now the order OF
the day. A writer in the Chicago In
"Some time ago Chicago man went
down to Cincinnati to attend a Yale
alumni dinner. Arriving at the hotel
just in time to dress, he found he had
brought everything except a white
shirt. Here, George, he said, catch
ing bellboy, go through the hall
and ask some of these gentlemen dres
sing for the dinner if they can lend me
a shirt. Now, remember that I'm {
great big man. In little while the
darby came back and said the only
gentleman he could find who had {
shirt big enough was Secretary Taft
who was dressing for the dinner, too
and would be glad to oblige. In th,
middle of the dinner the Chlcagoar
received telegram that made i
necess airy for him to be back home il
the morning. So, catching up hi!
grip, he hurried to the train in eve
ming clothes. 1t was early when b,
entered his own home, but his wifi,
heard him come in and called: Il
that you, Henry?' Yes, my dear
Did you attend the banquet Yes
and had perfectly stunning time
just guess what [ brought back.
What is it?' Why, my dear, Nv
| got on the secretary of wars shirt.
For moment there was silence, ant
then his wife said caustically: Hen
ry,I think if you lie down on the
couch out there you'll feel better aftel
