was blown When the news reached
DEBORAH the college boys were sc
jubilant that they organized a night
gown parade, and came down town
pounding tin cans, tom toms, ETC.,
bubbling over with college spirit in
their exultation over the victory.
The same evening the L. C. team
played a game with Carleton Col
lege of Mortified, and here sue
cumbed to their only defeat on the
entire trip. The game in the after
noon was such hard one that the
boys were tired out and were unable
to put the same vim into the game
as heretofore, and consequently lost
by the score of % to 10.
The game last night between Luz
ther College and Upper Iowa Uni

in their plays, and really have 6
strong team. On the other hand
the local team never played better
They exhibited marvellous agility
and team work, and surprised ever
