Every schoolroom has it's romancer
The other day the teacher i'm a primary
grade noticed one of her small boys
sitting at his desk holding one hand
tghtly over his left eye.
why, Eddie" she said, what is the
matter?'
He disclosed a badly swollen eye.
"A horse kicked me-" he replied.
"NO, no, Eddie" the teacher objected,
"a horse didn't kick you
HE was q wild horse" the boy stol-
idly persisted. when he kicked me
he jumped over house and rar
away"
Eddie, if horse had kicked you
in the head he would have knocked out
your brains
'Sure he would, teacher; but l was
walking by tn time NIT man. And
when that horse kicked me tn man
put out his hand-so-and pushed his
fOots back-so-and else he would have
kicked my brains out, like you said,
teacher"
The teacher shook her head. The
romancer was prepared at all points.
1t remained for the practical boy of
the class to relieve the situation.
II guess it was maybe tn horse kick

fidently suggested.
Whereupon the romancer, his castle
of imagination overwhelmed by jeer-
ing doubt, collapsed and then owned
up that he had bumped his eye by a

as fit as a fiddle for the game.
Myhre, the full back, who has
played such a fine game during
the season, was unable to play
on account of an injury to his
elbow and his place in the back
field was taken by Erickson.
Sowder, the rugged center, was
also unable to finish the game on
account of an injury to his jaw,
and Lawrence Geisert took his
place during the third quarter.
In straight foot ball the Ash
land team had nothing on Wash
burn even though their team
averaged heavier. The cross
plays and end runs of the Wash
burn boys worked successfully
and were good for gains when
played. Forward passing by
both teams proved a failure and
old time foot ball was resorted to
the greater part of the game.
Naturally the Washburn team
feels quite jubilant over their
victory last Saturday, coming as
it did upon their victory week
ago when they administered
such a defeat to the Bessemer
boys. It bears out what the
Coaches said at the beginning of
the season, that they would have
a strong team before the season
was far advanced.

to hit as targets Peter will'have no

On the Grounds in This City
Saturday
Place Kick by Geisert from
35 Yard Line Wins Game
for Washburn.

In one of the most exciting
foot ball games played on
the gounds in this city this
season the Washburn High
School team defeated the Ash
land High School team last Sat
urday afternoon by a score of 3
to @.
In the opening game of the
season played at Ashland the
Ashland team defeated Wash
burn by the score Of 46 Ito 0 and
naturally they expected to repeat
the dose in the game Saturday
afternoon but they were sadly
disappointed and their efforts to
win proved in vain.
The Ashland team, supported
by about one hundred rooters,
came over on the 2 o'clock boat
and before the game was called
frequent boasts were made of
what they expected to do with the
Washburn aggregation. They
hardly expected to meet with
the opposition that the Washburn
team had developed since the
last meeting of the two teams,
and consequently they were out
played at all stages of the game.
No score was made until the
third quarter of the game. In
this quarter the Washburn boys
had worked the ball down the
field to the Ashland thirty-fve
yard line. Quarterback Geisert
for Washburn ordered q place
kick formation of his team and
the kick was successfully carried
out, tGeisert sending theIpigskin
over the goal posts for three
points.
During the remainder of the
third quarter and all through the
fourth quarter Ashland tried
desperately to put the ball over
for touchdown but failed in
their attempts. In the third
quarter the ball was advanced as
far as the Washburn ten yard
| line but the local team held sue
cessfully and the ball was punted
out of danger.
Again in the fourth quarter
Ashland advanced the ball to the
Washburn seven yard line by a
series of end runs and line
plunges and they expected to
carry the ball over the line for
touchdown but were blocked
by the Washburn line who held
them and the ball was again
punted out into the field. Before
the ball could be brought into
dangerous territory again the
game was finished.
Washburn's aggregation was
