over one hundred and thirty tickets

most congenial one and the hours few,

New Ujm High Wins

The New Ulm High School basket.
ball team got flying start for the
season by slipping over a A to q
defeat on the DR.. Martin Luther Col
lege quint in Turner Hall gymnasium
Saturday afternoon nec.7.
The High School tossers showed
flashes of teamwork that bids well
for a successful season and found the
basket with good success. The Col
lege players, while heavier, were much
slower and handled the ball poorly,
seeming unable to locate the net at
crucial times The game was marred
by frequent fouls, especially on the
part of the High School.
Play started with a rush and for
the first few minutes it was nip and
tuck. The fast pace soon commenced
to wear on the collegians however,
and the lavender and white forged
ahead. The first half ended IS to 80
in favor of the High School. The
second half was noticeably lacking
| in ginger and grew more and more
listless as the play progressed. Here,
as in the first period, the lighter
High School boys outplayed the Col.
lege and were responsible for the ma.
ior portion of the scoring. The final
score showed; New Ulm High School,
"A; DR.. Martin Luther College, 81.
Cordes, at center, was the heavy
point winner for the High School
scoring total of ten baskets from
the floor. Both Amann and Seifert

from the grace and symmetry of their
wearer
AS she jumped to the landing the
singer was startled to see her door
slam and hear the spring lock click.
In the meantime the stage manager
saw that Miss Wickham was not in

and sent a maid up in an elevator to
the fifth floor. She hurried back
with the news that the singers room
was empty Everybody was in a state
of great excitement, when in walk

After finding herself locked out
she pounded violently on her door

descent in safety, and with a crowd
of enthusiastic spectators, including
many of the best known chauffeurs
