Scheduled For Thanksgiving After
noon on Redwood Field
LAST GAME OF SEASON
Management Solicits Support in Re-
turn For Loyal Work of Team
All Season
(By The Mana ger.)

At the urgent request of the bust
ness men the football management
has finally succeeded in scheduling
game with tie Manchester Freshmen,
tel trying almost every town with
il !. hundred miles and some much
f.! Their away
The management in soliciting your
loyal backing for this game wishes to
make q few explanations so that all
will have some 'inside information"
SO to speak.
Last weeks game with Humboldt
was very expensive one, and as the
attendance was not nearly what had
been hoped for we lost heavily fnan-
cially, as was the case in one or two
Of our other expensive and high class
games. From this stand point we
were rather in favor of closing the
season, but have again listened to the
pleas for a Thanksgiving game by
scheduling the expensive Manchester
Freshie game These fellows are from
one of our representative colleges, and
are Coach Johnny McGovern's young
hopeful team. For our High School
boys to play such team is some
honor, and they are going to do their
best to tally some scores at the same
time.
In compliance with the reasons
stated above the admission for the
Thanksgiving game will be SOC and
no season tickets will be good. Other
towns that are putting on the class of
games that Redwood has this year,
and are much more favorably located
are charging this price regulaly and
as some of the locals know, Window
did for the Redwood game where not
third Of the expense was incurred.
The interested football reader who
reads the write-up in our columns
regarding the coming game, and then
compares it with the bills printed
may wonder wherein is the discrep-
ancy in advertising.
The bills were correct at the time
they were printed, but at the last
moment Blue Earth called off the
game, and then it became hasty
scramble to locate another team. The
Manchester Freshmen were willing to
come and arrangements have been
made to this effect.
Now just word regarding this
years team. 1t is one of the best
that has represented Redwood for
long time, and the seasons schedule
has been long and heavy. Of course,
they have had their off days, and lost
one crucial game which they, as we'll
as every one else, know they should
have won, but they came back with
the old gameness and showed what
they could do by whipping Humboldt
20 to 0, when even many of their most
loyal hackers thought they would
again have to witness defeat. They
have advertised Redwood Falls as
town, far and wide through southern
and eastern Minnesota, and as a team
they have won only the highest re-
gard as clean, hard players and true
sportsmen, as outside opinions will
show.
