LOCAL HIGH IN HARD GRID
IRON BATTLE

River Falls and Hastings high
schools had hard fought game of
football here Saturday in which the
scoring honors were even, each
team making a single touchdown.
Both teams fuked away their
chance at goal and the final score
was 6 to 6.
The visitors scored in the first
quarter, on a fake play through the
line. On the punt-out they ground
ed the ball, and the score was to
10, In the second quarter River
Falls out played their opponents
and at one time Cap. Loucks had
the ball over the goal line, but was
thrown back before the down was
called, and that proved the locals
only chance in that period, although
the ball was in Hastings territory
all of the time.
The third quarter was see-saw
affair marred by great deal of
fumbling by both teams. The
Hastings captain secured the ball
on a tumble in the center of the
field a had no one ahead IF him for
straight dash TO the goal but
Loucks overlook him in about
thirty yards and River Falls secured
the ball again when Hastings fun
bled
River Falls evened up the score
in the fourth quarter, end runs by
Loucks and Chapman, and line
smashes by Elliott bringing the
ball to the Is yard line. Here
Hastings held for three downs and
it looked bad for the locals. But
Loucks tossed forward pass to
Chapman who was behind the goal
line, and the score was tied. River
Falls lost the chance at goal when
Healy punted out before his team
mates were ready and no one
caught the bali.
The River Falls players were

and other lands have been sub
merged and have subsequently re,
appeared. In such instances the
former owner regains his posses
sion and title.
1t is stated aba that land own
ers own to the center of non-navig-
able waters. In the case of navig-
able water the public, generally
speaking, holds the title TO the bed.
Thus islands forming in navigable
streams would belong to the state
and the state may resist all exten.
sions of the property adjoining the
navigable water past the normal
edge of the stream or lake.
The courts have no little difficult
ty in determining whether waters
are navigable or not and the var
ious states are in conflict. The
old English rule was that waters in
which the tide ebbed and flowed
we're navigable, and waters not
affected by tides were not navigable,
whether they were used by large
boats for purposes of commerce or
not. This rule has been adopted
in many of the American states. In
England where the large rivers
are affected by the tides the rule
fitted fairly we'll with the facts, but
in some states which follow the
rules. there is no tidal waters and
so all waters in the state are ruled
as non-navigable in the law though
they are navigable in fact. Many
states rule all rivers navigable in
law which are navigable in fact.
But in the great majority of cases
the owner of property adjoining a
stream of ordinary size, or small
lake, has title of all the land under
the water to the thread of the
stream or the middle of the lake.

SC0RElESS GAME AIT
LA CROSSE

The River Falls Normal sent as
enthusiastic a band Of football
enthusiasts as was ever assembled
to La Crosse last Friday afternoon.
The entire school, headed by
brass band, marched to the depot
where the River Falls special car
was waiting, beautifully decorated
in red and white bunting and pen
nants. The delegation consisted Of
about fifty students, including the
football squad.
Their train was fonr hours late
into La Crosse but upon their ar
rival there the River Falls people
found a band and about $50 La
Crosse students waiting for them.
At six o'clock, when the train was
due, there had been about 800
at the depot to receive the River
Falls delegation. The reception
was a very cordial one, and the
La Crosse students and teachers
joined heartily in making the visit
ors feel welcome.
In the morning the G.. o. p.
represent atives we're entertained by
the Y. w. e. A., and were shown
about the school, given a band con-
cert on the school grounds by the
school band and were served
luncheon in the school dining room.
The game commenced at two
thirty. Upon the appearances of
the two teams upon the field it
looked as though River Falls was
hopelessly Handicapped by the much
greater weight of their opponents,
but they surprised everyone by
having all the best of the argument
throughout the first half, but a
costly tumble and penalties lost
them their best chances to score.
The third and fourth quarters we're
trying ones from the River Falls
standpoint, for during this part of
the game the team was half COM
posed of second string men, the
regulars being ont on the side lines
with injuries In the final quarter
five of the River Falls regulars, the
strongest players of the regular
team, were out of the game, but
the substitutes came to the rescue
in magnificent style and guarded
the goal well and the game erded
without score.
During the intermission between
halves the girls of the River Falls
delegation started a zig nag"
across the field and the La Crosse
rooters joined in, making a fine dis
play of school spirit.
Tomorrow (Friday) the River
Falls and Superior Normal schools
will battle for 9ridiron honors on
the local field. Superior comes here
heralded as one of the strongest
college elevens in the state, and it
will be great feat if the locals
carry off the honors Of the day.
The Superior delegation will arrive
tomorrow and will be met at the
train by the 6. o. P, The Y. w. c,
A. girls will attend to the refresh
ment part Of the entertainment and
the Camp Fire Girls will entertain
at party in honor of the visitors
tomorrow (Friday) evening at the
gymnasium.
The game will be called promptly
at 2:30 tomorrow (Friday) after
noon. A fast game is sure to occur
and it is expected to be the best one
of the local season.
