come to town and play football with
the city team, and people who saw
them play say they were two of the
strongest and fastest tackles in the
state. These were the days before
the football outfit and paraphernilia
know to the game now were in use,
and the boys would come with their
heavy spiked mining boots on, and
old Harry himself couldn't bulge
them.
Once they played Hibbing, and in
the first half the Hibbing flying wedge
made serious inroads upon the Vir-
ginia defence. Between halls the
Virginia team was scored by the
coach in language more impressing
than gentle. 1t was then that Martin
Moe came to the rescue. He cried,
"Never mind, doctor, I'll stop them. "
In the first play of the second half
Hibbing tried the famous flying
wedge again, and Martin, planting
his feet solidly in the ground, directly

erful arms and by force of the
strength of his we'll trained muscles
held back alone the entire Hibbing
team. These were the days when
pushing was allowed, and while they
were trying to move Martin out of
the way, his brother Tom came up,
crying, Martin, do you need any
help?" Il should say not" Martin
answered, this is only fun for me-"
The two brothers also were men,
bers of the Virginia volunteer fire
department, and ran with the track
team which that year was awarded
the championship of northern Mime
sota.
The Moe boys love Virginia, the
place where they have made their
homes; where they have made good,
and where they intend to live in the
future, and the people of Virginia
appreciate their good qualities and
wish them success.
