The Washburn High School
football team journeyed to Iron
wood la t Saturday where they
played the heavy High School
eleven. The Ironwood averaged
better than 100 pounds to the
man, outweighing our team
80 20 1nds to the man.
Washburn played snappy ball
every minute, three of Iron
woods touchdowns coming at
the call of time. The use of a
stop watch would probably have
cut off these scores. The first
quarter was featured by a 35
yard run by Soshea playing end
for Washburn, and Ironwood's
first touchdown which came at
the call of time, after four downs
to make the last five yards.
The second quarter resulted in
two touchdowns for Ironwood.
One coming after a hard struggle
for goal at the close of the half
Washburn featured at forward
passing, and breaking up end
runs attempted by Ironwood.
Sowder featured at center, play
ing his 1870 pound man to a finish,
breaking through center, down
ing man for5 yard loss. Sagen
at guard stopped line plunge time
and time again, stopping the
whole team and never being
moved an inch. MacRae made a
good many holes through tackle
and starred at tackling. The
rest of line was held pat every
minute.
In second half Ironwood scored
twice, this part of the game be-
ing featured by forward passes
by the back field, Otto Geisert
intercepting an Ironwood pass
and carried the ball to the 20
yard line. Myhre made fine
tackle which cut off a touchdown.
Peterson and Anderson made
several fine catches of forward
passes. Washburn made six
complete forward passes to Iron
woods one. Christensen who
replaced Sowder at center made
one of the snappiest tackles of
the game. The last half of the
game was played in a rain. The
fourth quarter Washburn out
played Ironwood in every point
of the game. One of the great
difficulties encountered by the
Washburn team was the fresh
condition of their opponents
made possible by constant sub
stitution. With but one eX-
ception, every member of the
Washburn team played the whole
game. What does a score of "a
0 amount to after spirited man
| ly game like this?
First home game will be play
ed next Saturday against North
land College. Game called at

spirit OF fun. The apology follows:
while en- route to my home in or
der to see my mother who is i'll, re-
ceived a telegram which was the first
that I had heard about the rumored
elopement with Miss Pettyjohn. 1 was
not with Miss Pettyjohn in Kansas

to visit in the city. On receiving the
message on board train at Muskogee,
Okla, returned at once. Miss Petty
john is not to blame In any respect
for the most unfortunate circum-
stances. and all the arrangements were
made by me in a spirit of fun without
her knowledge or consent. I under
stand that Miss Pettyjohn returned in
the company Of her friend on yester-
day. 1 offer to the public and to Miss
Petty5ohn and family my sincerest
apologies for the unfortunate affair in
which am the only one in fault. The
Kansas City affair was drawn -prin-
cipally from the most vivid magma
ton Of some suspicious minds"

Revival Of Business Coming
With Completion of Plan.
Promises New Constitution of
Freedom for Business.

Washington, June "a new
constitution OF freedom for business
is the object of the administration
trust legislation program. President
of Virginia editors at the White
House. He predicted the country was
on the verge Of q great business re-
vival.
The president made his remarks
shortly after he had heard of the
no officials ventured to say he had
that in mind while speaking.
The president told the editors he
would absolutely insist that his anti
trust program be passed at the pres
ent session OF congress and that his
the nation were behind him. Declar-
ing that the United States was now
on the verge of a very strong bust
ness revival, the president added that
a temporary business depression at
present was sure to pass as soon as
business realized that the antitrust
legislation is sure to be enacted.
Ten Years Of Uneasiness.
For ten years the president said
business has been uneasy because of
attacks on it. He commended that his
ADMINISTRATION was the first in years
that had been the real friend OF bust
ness and he added that his administra-
ton was going to prove its friendship
by clearing away all anxiety among
business men over what was to come.
The president spoke with great earn
estness, gesturing vigorously.
The president declared that through
governmental agencies and through
an extensive correspondence he believ-
ed the administration to be better able
tc judge business conditions than any
one else in the country. He compared
the condition OF business to man
about to undergo an operation and who
fears that it will be capital one. He
added that it had become apparent
that only minor operations ere neces-
sary and that it would be dangerous
to postpone them Nothing would be
more unfair to business, the president
declared, that to keep it guessing.
Has Q Definite Program.
He said that the administration
of corrective legislation and that the
administration was ready and deter
mined to go ahead with its program.
During the pendehcy of the tariff and
currency bills. he said, business shiv-
cred but there weer no serious effects
He declared that there was no rea-
SON to think thdt The result would be
more serious after the antitrust bills
are passed. II
'.Some people think that the anti
trust legislation will be postponed -
said the president, as he advanced a
step: well it will not be postponed .
His jaws snapped. ut will not be
postponed because we are the real
friends Of business and are ready 10
give business its new constitution Of
freedom. If we stop now there would
be another long period OF agitation
with its resulting dangers to business.
But we are not going to face that
danger, we are going ahead with our
program now and II the reports re-
ceive are correct it will not take US
very long to finish our work"
