FINAL SCORE 36 TO 20

| Outplayed throughout the entire
game, the Freeport high school basket
ball team was defeated Saturday night
at that place by the Ottumwa high
school, the score being SO to 20. The
red and white team while not at it's
best put up fast game that the ILL
nois boys could not stop. The con-
test however, was close throughout
and the scoring of the first half see
! sawed back and forth. The Ottumwa
team was somewhat handicapped by
! the small slippery floor but neverthe-
less furnished the 1900 Freeport root.
ers with some real basketball. The
work of Sumner and Sheehan was the
best they have put up this year, each
man holding his opponent to one
basket and aiding wonderfully in the
team work.
Ottumwa could not hit it's stride dur
ing the first half and as result the To-
Gals could only lead the Freeport team
W two points. The score at the end
of the first period was Is to IA.
Throughout the first half the visitors
would get the lead only to have the
score tied by Freeport minute later.
The visiting team came back strong
in the final period and rung up, twenty
points while Freeport could only an
mex fifteen. The Ottumwa squad
picked up considerable in it's work and
at no time during the last half was in
danger of being defeated. Kobel, for
ward, was as usual, Ottumwa's main
scoring factor, ringing up eleven field
goals. Kobel played hard and con
sistent game and his work was much
applauded. Anderson played a hard
game and although he did not score as
many goals as his colleague Kobel, he
dropped the leather through the hoop
for four pretty baskets, Erskine TAIL
ed to break into the score column for
the first time this season but neverthe-
less played hard game and his man
was unable to score.
Bill Osler and Byrne Smith accom-.
panied the team and were the only
rooters Ottumwa had. They both
showed considerable power with their
lungs and were loudly cheered by the
many Freeport rooters after they had
given every one Of the high school
yells.

ANTl-LlQuoR sENTlMEHT.

In an article showing that the greatest nations in Europe arc against alcohol" the Philadelphia North Amer ican has this to say about Germany;
 Is it not disooncerting to find that the great anti-alcohol movement which is sweeping Europe had it's be- ginning in the land of the 14,000 brew cries? A scientific pamphlet written in 1886 by Professor van Bunge, was the start of a campaign which has pro- duoed an antiliquor congress in every advanced country on the continent, and a biennial international congress that draws delegates from nearly ev- cry considerable nation.
 "The growth of sentiment against the evil has been almost incredible. In the year 1893 there was only one known total abstainer of prominence in the German empire, noted Ham, burg engineer. In 1897 leading phy- sician undertook to urge abstinence upon members of his profession, and after months of work found himself with a total of nine signatures but ten years later 800 physicians had joined
 Tt was a German university, that of Berlin, which first established a scien- tifc course on the alcohol evil, in 1906. It was the German kaiser who few years ago declared himself an abstain CT, and enjoined the army and navy to follow his example. It is a noted German army physician who has de- elared; 1t must be considered incom- patible with the honor of a city or government to allow the activities of poison factories, such as breweries and distilleries.' There is a strong anti-liquor movement among the Socialists. For more than three years the sale of beer in the great Krupp works has been for bidden. That and other big industries steel works, shipyards and mines supply tea free to their workers, or milk at cost, and forbid the sale of beer. At one huge plant the con- sumption of beer fell from 147,000 bar rels in 1909 to 14,500 barrels in 1911. The Berlin railways have forbidden the use of beer during working hours, and similar action has been taken by the government railways of Baden and Alsace-Loraine, where ant-alcohol placards are posted in all the sta tiOns."

NOT ALTOGETHER SELFISH.

It is not altogether for purely eco homie reasons that industrial con cerns oppose drinking on the part of their employees" says President Gib- son of the Chicago Pressed Steel com pany. The average employer is greatly interested in the welfare of his work-people. He wants to see them prosperous and happy. He also wants to get the largest possible re- turns in his business and there is no conflict between these two aims, Whatever improves the physical, men, tai and moral conditions of workmen also increases their efficiency and so brings in greater profits to the em- ployer."
