The second football game of this
season ended up with the score
against the Kato high. but that does
not by any means indicate that the
team isn't working to the utmost
and doing their very best to win.
Throughout this game and the last
one, every member OF the team played
his best to uphold the glory OF the
school. Because the team has suf-
fered two defeats. II does not in any
manner indicate that they can't win
In the next game. And above all. Il
behooves the student body to stand
by and uphold the team which works
hard in the face OF many hardslips
and discouragements that come not
only on the football field, but from
other sources as well.
The only occurrence to mar Sat-
urday's game was an accident to Rey-
mold Cote, who had his arm broken
while playing. Cote Is one of the
most promising Kato players. and oil
the students regret very much that
this accident should have happened.
The team left at six o'clock Satur-
day morning. accompanied by few
loyal supporters. The game was
called at two O'Clock. although II was
rumored that the game was to he
played in the morning so as to va
cate the field for the Carleton Stout
game. The Kato lineup was as fol-
lows: Wiltherger. center: Hohen
~ \
and O'Connor. tackles: Cote and Ca
hoon. ends; Roos and Hughes. half
backs: II. Anderson. quarterback:
Mcconnell. full back. In the second
quarter. Madigan relieved Cahoon at
end: Cote was injured IN the third
quarter. and Victor Anderson took
his place as end.
Mortified got two touchdowns and
goal kick In the first half; and a
drop kick over goal In the second
half made her score sixteen. Try as
they might. our team could not score
on their opponents.
The teams were pretty evenly
matched. although the Mortified
men may have been a little heavier.
The opponents of our men were a
more experienced team. hwy hotN
excellent team work and had good in
reference. On the other hand. our
team was composed mostly Of new
men, who had had little experience:
and consequently could not be ex-
rected to use as good team work and
interference as their opponents.
There were no evidences Of unfair
rlay. either on the part OF the teams
or the referees. Our men were ac-
corded the very best OF treatment by
Mortified.
The entire school this morning
had the pleasure of listening to de-
Iightful concert on the Edison phono-
graph. The program was conducted
by Mr.. Watson, a representative OF
the Edison company. He explained
the indestructible Edison record, and
Edison's latest achievement OF per-
fecting the diamond needle repro
Queer. These records used with the
diamond reproducer make possible
the reproduction of the overtone and
the elimination of the harsh. discor-
dant, metallic blast. With the Edison
phonograph selections can be heard
with exactly the same sweet tone OF
the original instrument.
The Civics classes have been
asked to take charge OF the Students
association election Wednesday. The
election will be conducted like a real
one, with all the officers and formal
tiles of the real thing. This Is right
I'm the line Of civics work. and will
give the students an opportunity OF
seeing the actual operation OF an
election.

BY the large score of 81 to 0, the
foot ball team OF the Mankato Com
mercial college was defeated by that
of PillsburN academy at Owatonna
last Saturday afternoon.
A weakness of the Commercial line
was responsible for the score. Pills
bury made all of its gains through
the Commercial line and the ball was
in the possession OF that team almost
all OF the time. The Commercial line
was very slow i'm charging and Pills
bury carried II up and down the field
almost at will. Most OF their gains
were made on the right side OF the
Commercial line.
Pillsbury made an especially fire
showing. The Commercial college
back field played a good game, but
could not stop Pillsbury before the
latter had made substantial gains.
The playing of Libby at quarterback
for Pillsbury was exceptionally good
He ran the Pillsbury line in fine style
and made many long gains himself.
The Commercial college team
showed it's lack Of scrimmage. Dixie
at full-back played an excellent game
for Mankato. The teams were about
matched In weight. Superior train
ing and practice gave the victory to
Pillsbury.
McCrady for the Pillsburys made
one touchdown and Libby for the
same team four.
The next game of the Commercial
college will be played at the Man
kato fair grounds against Parker |
college of Winnebago on Friday or
Saturday of this week.
