And Wahpeton Theatre 0oers Are
Always Glad When They
Get Back

The supreme favorites Clint and
Bessie Robbins and their own
company will return here for a
weeks engagement commencing
Monday, Oct. 25th.
The company is larger this year
and is considered the best Mr..
Robbins has ever been surround
ed with. 1t is hardly necessary to
call the attention of the theatre
loving part Of Wahpeton citizens
to these clever people or to the
character Of the plays they pre-
sent but it might be we'll to sug-
gest to the residents around about
who are privileged to travel by
automobile (and a great many
miles, or an hour at most would
are) that little run Of a rev

part of the evening for a couple
of hours appreciative listening at
the opera house during the So
journ Of the Robbins in this city.
The opening play will be "a
! Dangerous FRIEND. This play is
considered one OF the best in Mr..
Robbins repertoire. Each evening
the Robbins will set forth some
thing new, attractive as it were,
!interspersing the general per-
formance with such specialties as
the Robbins have achieved repu-
tation on. Popular prices will
prevail.

The game was played in not
very good football weather it be-
ing a trifle to warm for the real
work but the fact that going was
good and both teams light the
spectators had run for their
money.
Science displayed a good deal
more knowledge this week than
she did the week before and Coach
Ward by next week will have his
team in pretty good shape. The
game was in open play good
share of the time and not long
forward pass worked but Science
made three good gains on the
short pass right off end. Ellen
dale's tackles displayed the same
fault that Science did with the
Aggiges and the local boys scored
many gain by tackle smashes.
1t also could be seen that the
line had been under severe train
ing the last week as they were
charging in furious style and
playing a good deal lower with
more stiffness in getting through
Ellendale's line.
Next Saturday the local team
goes to Frago where they meet
the Fargo College team of that
place. War reports from that
camp speak Of them as regular
"42's" and Coach Ward will lose
no time this week in getting the
boys in shape to win this game if
possible. A large crowd of root
ers will no doubt accompany the
boys on their way north and all
that can possibly go should be on
hand to give the boys a helping
hand if needed.

"Don,r LIE TO YOUR WIFE"

The following was taken from
the Waukesha Freeman, Wauk-
esha, Wis. and its notice of the
play Don't Lie to Your Wife,
which is to be staged at the Wah-
peton Opera House, Friday even
ing, October 22nd, follows along
the same line of praise that hun
dreds of other press notices. We
thus deem it necessary that this
show whose praise is being voiced
everywhere, should be given the
widest amount of publicity as pos
sible. Hardly show that has ever
appeared here in long time has
received the same amount of press
tlatter as Don't Lie to Your
Wife,:
There was a good sized and
delighted audience last Sunday
evening at the Colonial theatre to
witness the presentation of that
hilarious success, Don't Lie to
Your Wife," C. S. Primrose is
presenting the play and it is ev-
erywhere making the hit that it
deserves. 1t is produced under the
stage management of A. C. Winn,
whose well-known ability as ac-
tor and manager insures enjoy
ment and satisfaction on the part
Of patrons.
The plot of the play is cleverly
conceived and the principal char
acter, Amos Doubleday, as inter-
preted by Mr.. Winn leaves little
to bed esired.
On Sunday he was ably sup
ported by Frank Morris, B. Hall,
E. J. Kadow, Burt Shields and
Jack Rose in the parts Of Arthur
Pringle, Geo. Benedict, Mr.. Dillon,
Mr.. Croft reporter, and Mr..
Goats an isurance agent and own
er of race horses, respectively,
while those of Mrs. Doubleday,
Mrs. Benedict, Mable Doubleday
and Pansy were given zest and go
as presented by Dorothy Gray,
Kathryn Earle, Florence Wrigh-
ton and Grace Leonard. They
kept the audience in a happy state
of expectation and enjoyment
throughout.
There was pleasing variety Of
music and withal some very eX-
cellent singing. Don't Lie to Your
Wife, presents an excellent NOR
al; it is. clean, cleverly conceived
and worth while play, and as pre-
sented by C. S. Primrose is sure
to afford great satisfaction to
theatre goers everywhere.

LAST SATURDAY AFTERNOON
Which Would Have Won The
0ame for Breckenridge 10 Only
80 Seconds Of Play Remained

Inc breckenridge WahpetOn
football game that was pulled off
ON Island Park Saturday after
noon was staged before a large
crowd of cheering students and
other spectators from both of the
little twins, who braved the drizz-
ling rain and unfavorable wealth
er.
Many unpleasant controversies
arose in which feeling ran high,
especially on the account Of
Breckenridge playing two men
which the Wahpeton high school
felt that it didn't show clean
craftsmanship.
The facts of the case were the
playing of Maloney and Drey, two
local Breckenridge residents. 1t is
known to this office that Maloney
through his own mouth and of
some of the football team of that
place, stated that he went to the
University of Minnesota, although
did not play and that he was over
twenty-one years of age. This he
personally denied just before the
beginning of the game. 1t is
claimed that young Drey up until
the present game or few days
before was a messenger on the
dinky on the Great Northern Rail-
road. Moloney is an office clerk
in the superintendent office or
holding a position of such a ma
ture.
The Breckenridge Superintend-
ent or Principal, whoever he may
be, stated on the protest of the
Wahpeton people that Maloney
was going to school and that he
could play. We were further no.
titled through the same source
that the high school laws of the
state don't prohibit the playing of
any person over the twenty-year
mark. We admit that. But here is
where he fell down and showed
shimself to be (well we won't say
what) it don't make any differ
ence any way but shows him up
anyhow.
In all high. schools throughout
the state of Minnesota where the
school is recognized in athletics
they have an unwritten law pro-
hibiting the playing Of any stud
ent over twenty-one years of age
and in all high school conferen-
ces, including the twin cities and
the conference just east of Breck-
enridge that was in vogue when
the writer played football and ev-
en- later while still resident. We
could go on and quote him rule

scholastic games Of conference
towns where the high school stud

to their utmost to keep ringers
out of the game and only students
of good standing allowed to play

and then they had to be classed
as students, not as football sea-
sonists.
Then again. The fact that these
two cities being so closely re-
lated and the best of feeling
should prevail and always be on
hand, keeping the sport of play
ing the different games, the clean
est of the clean. Every student in
the two cities should have bro
therly feeling towards each other
by playing clean instead of more
than one instance last Saturday.,
of running up and deliberately
kicking man in the head when
he was down and unable to defend
himself, or when Bessie the star
quarterback for Wahpeton was
taken off the field unable to play
any more by making the remark:
LETS get another Is that true
sportsmanship. We say no, and
every real sportsman in the little
twins will voice our sentiments.
The only regret we have is that
the above mentioned member Of
the faculty didn't play himself.
The Game
Although outwe>ghed and agin-
st what seemed certain defeat the
Wahpeton high school team COW
cred itself with glory when they
soundly trounced the Brecken-
ridge high school team by the
score of I to 6. The score doesn't
half way tell the story. The little
fellows from this side of the river,
grim and determined, and angry
clear through to the back bone
on account of the dirty trick and
unsportsmanship played on them,
went into the game resolved to
make them know that football was
a game for (men). Playing like
fiends On a field muddy and slip
perry they tore great holes into
the Breckenridge giants. The play
itself was i'm Breckenridge's ter
ritory three-quarters of the time
and only good luck for Brecken-
ridge, kept the score from being
rolled up higher. The first half
ended without a score being made
by either side. Early in the second
half Breckenridge pulled two
forward passes and scored a
touchdown but didn't kick goal.
Then Wahpeton came back at
them with might and fury that
fairly shook the ground from un-
der their feet and scored touch
down and kicked goal. Then Breck
enridge time and time again sent
Hanson their star backtield man
through the line for gains and he
did great work for them. A lucky
forward pass gave Breckenridge
the ball on Wahpeton's IS yard
line and then here againis Breck-
enridge's faulty judgment. With
a minute to play and only fifteen
yards to go the great Maloney was
called on to try drop kick for
goal. He missed accordingly and
their chances to win the game
went glimmering. Had they left
Maloney (the starr ou, Of the
game and played a good regular
player they would have had better
chances. Time and time again it
was Maloney that spoilt Brecken-
ridges chances for a gain. He
was always getting in the way.
Besides this his posure behind
the line was a joke for the specta-
tors, he causing much laughter

Lawyer Abel, Doyce loved money.
His Office man, Vance Merton. de-

ployer grow selfish and mean under
the malign influence of the god of
gold.
More than that, young Merton had
known the hateful power of money
in other forcible instances. His
father had been rich. Within a week
Vance had seen his entire fortune
dissipated in a reckless speculation.
Then those who had courted the Mer-
tons turned their backs on them.
Worse than that, the girl whom
Vance fancied he loved coldly re-

Bitter in way, but infinitely wiser,
Vance had ignored the society that |
had deluded him. He had gone to |
work for Lawyer Doyce, knowing
him to be close, penurious man, but |
rather liking him because he was con-
sistent in his faults. Doyce made no |
hypocritical claims to philanthropy or |
moral merit. They got along pretty |
well together. Vance made and |
