THE JUNIOR SOPHOMORE TEAM
LOSES FIRST CAME OF FOOT
BALL SEASON.

The Senior football team
nosed out six to nothing victory over
the Junior-Sophomore aggregation in
the first of the high school interclass
series at the Fair grounds last Friday,
afternoon. Although somewhat marred
by frequent fumbling and some rather
ragged team work, the game was battle
royal from start to finish. The teams
were evenly matched, the Seniors having
the advantage in weight which was more
than made up, however, by the speed
and snap with which the Junior backfeld
ran off their plays.
The only score of the game came early
in the third quarter. The Seniors
elected to receive the ball on the kickoff.
and carried it quickly by series of line
plunges to the twenty yard line. From
that position they tried a wide run
around end which went outside eight
yards from the goal. Three more PLAYS
through the line forced the ball almost
over the line; but on the next smash thru
center the Junior line held like stone
wall and the Seniors lost the ball on
downs. Then Berg, the Junior quarter
back, called for a forward pass from be-
hind his own goal line. Several of the
Senior men broke thru and tackled him:
Berg fumbled the ball and Schrader, of
the Senior team, fell on the ball scoring
a touchdown.
The Junior team suffered keenIy the
loss of Durbahn, who was taken out in
the second quarter with sprained elbow.
His reckless line plunging had been up
to this time feature of the game.

DEDICATE NEW SCHOOL.

The dedication exercises of Hanska's
new and modern SIG, 900 school were well
attended by citizens from the village
and surrounding country. The weather
was ideal and made it delightful day
for visitors from surrounding cities.
Editor A. r. Eggensperger presided.
After a few words of welcome Prof.
Albert w. Rankin Of the Minnesota Uni
versity was introduced. He delivered
a splendid address on educational topics.
His simple and lucid manner Of stating
facts and driving home conclusions
was most delightfully."- enjoyed by all.
Prof. Hess, superintendent of Public
School OF New Ulm, who was present was
called and he responded in pleasing
humorous vein. Hanska regrets that
Prof. Hess could not have had more time
as all feel that he could have told up
much that we would like to hear.
County Superintendent r. B. Kennedy
came to Hanska with pleasant surprise.
Upon his own initiative he had prevailed
upon Assistant Superintendent Cesander
OF the State Department of Education
to come and take part in Hanska's school
dedication exercises. Prof. Cesander's
address was scholarly and presented
several new angles from which educa-
tional problems are being looked at in
this enlightened age.
AT the conclusion Chairman A. R.
Eggensperger expressed the thanks of
the people of Hanska to out of town
visitors, to the speakers for their in
structive and entertaining addresses, to
the school board for it's untiring labors
in overseeing the erection of our fine
building, to the members of the dedication
committee for their generous assistance,
to the women for their delightful lun-
cheon, in fact he thanked each and all
who had assisted in making the dedica-
ton exercises success. No one was
otten- except the members of Union
band who so kindly furnished the beauti-
full music for the occasion. However the
Herald wishes to express the qualification
OF all and extend most hearty thanks to
each member for his part. The. music
was most delightful and was thoroughly
enjoyed by everyone.
After the exercises all took luncheon
in the school house at large tables most
prettily decorated. The proceeds from
this luncheon were added to the piano
fund and increased the same some $35 90

OF nothing. And have you heard that
very same man instantly put on the soft

Newcastle, England, February g.
Walter H. Page, the American ambas-
sador, in an address here tonight be-
fore the Newcastle Chamber of Com
merce, touched upon the Monroe doc
trine and the situation In Mexico He
said the United States desired no more
territory.
The Monroe doctrine. the ambassador
declared, stood for self government

government in America because il
wished to dedicate the American con-
tinent to self government by the peo-
pies who live there.
Mr. Page said the United States could
send an army into Mexico to carry the
land, but that would be to establish
protectorate-that would not be self
government.

Against Pay-as-Y You Enter Cars


4 should like to express my opinion.
and | am sure the opinion of the majority
of the geenral public. of the proposal of
the Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company to install pay-as-you-en en-
ter cars in Greater Birmingham, said c.
E. Wilson, 51O4 Tenth avenue, north.
Now, Birmingham is a southern city
in every sense of the word, and when ne
groes get to crowding and pushing among
white people in a crowded car there is
going to be trouble. This pay-as-you-
enter may work on the Idlewild and
Highland cars, where there are not many
negroes to ride, but when they put them
on the North Birmingham, South Ensley
and Gate City and a few other lines
where there are more negroes to ride, do
you honestly think that any red-booded
southern man is going to stand still and
not say or do anything when three or
four negroes get on and begin pushing
and squeezing through a bunch of white
girls and women, and all of the cars are
crowded to overlooking with working
girls and women late of an evening?
"And don't we have Jim Crow law
here saying that the whites and blacks
must be separated? / am surprised at
the officials of the Birmingham Railway,
Light and Power company for attempting
up-to-date southern city like Brming-
ham,
