is another reason for having your

This country is hardly as level as

THIEF RIVER FALLS WINS
FROM WARREN ELEVEN.

Warren's football team journeyed
by auto to Thief River Falls Satur-
day afternoon to meet their eleven on
the gridiron. They got late start
from home, which made it necessary
to go right out on the field when
they arrived at their destination and
the day being anything but warm
caused the boys to be rather chilly,
when they lined up in front of their
foes.
Thief Rivers acting captain won
the toss and chose to defend the west
goal. Warren kicked off, but the ball
went low and Thief River made a
good return. They made their downs
and inside of three minutes had made
touchdown. They kicked goal.
Score Z to o.. Warren's acting cap
tain chose to receive the ball and then
made a costly tumble, which made it
possible for Thief River to shove the
pigskin behind the goal line once
more. They kicked goal. Score IA to
Q. The Thief River boys kept this
kind of playing up thru the first half,
when the score was 81 to o.
In the second half the local boys
seemed to brace up a bit and came
back with more "pep' and had more
confidence in themselves after they
found out what had been their
trouble in the first half. The Thief
River Warriors only made half as
many points in the last half as they
did in the first and when the final
whistle was blown the local bows
were. making gains right thru the
line. Had it not been for the strong
wind that was blowing across the
field the game would have been much
more open.
Warren's line was outweighed bv
about twenty pounds to the man and
their work was much superior to the
local boys. It was very difficult to
work forward passes against the
wind altho Warren pulled off few
very effective ones. The opposing
team got away with couple of short
ones also. Warren's defense was
weak and their interference was al
most impenetrable for our light
Weigts. Both teams played a clean
square game thruout, there being ON
ly few minor penalties evenly dis
tributed on both sides.

for the locals, while Sandberg and A

This was the first game Of football
ever played on gridiron by the ma.
jority Of the team and the defeat al
the hands of more experienced anc
heavier team was expected wher
they clashed with "huskies'' from
Thief River Falls.
The experience derived from this
game will be of great benefit to the
Warren lads and next Saturday wher
| they meet Stephen one will be able
to notice good deal of improvement
in their style Of playing.

DADDY L0NG-LEGS

Daddy Long-Legs''-a delightful
comedy with a pull at the heart
strings-was the most appropriate
Christmas offering Topeka has had in
many years The idea in the play, of
seIf-sacrifice and the desire to make
others happy, blended admirably with
that which was deep in the hearts of
everyone in the audience. and the four
acts were happy ones for all.
Jean Webster's ingenious story
which ran as a serial in the Ladies'
Home Journal some years ago worked
out into just the kind Of a play one
would expect of such a plot. 1t was
entirely wholesome and pleasing and
therein lies the success. The play
deals with ordinary persons in the or
binary course of human events who
were raised 20 dramatic units by the
clever lines and unusual idea
The story centers in the life Of
Judy" a ward of the John Grier
Orphanage." who is befriended by a
big hearted man and sent to college
Judy calls her fairy godfather,
many letters she develops a love for
him and also for ''Jervis Pendleton-"
The plot ends Just as you expect
'PeudIeton" and the imaginary Dad
person and love is discovered 70 be
mutual
Frances Carson made a lovable
Judy and brought tears with her
'-thrOaty notes" She filled the bill en-
tirely- George Alison as --Jervis Pen
dIeton'' interpreted the part of the
benefactcr in a very satisfactory man
ner- The other members of the cast
were up to the usual sta ndard of Hen
~ Miller productions
The play was reputed to be a wo-
mans show through and through but
il received Just as hearty a reception
from the men in the audience as from
the women Apparently men like
wholesome plays in spite of all the
evidence 70 the contrary
Ruth Chatterton, who originated the
part Of Judy" IS playing IN Philadei-
pilia now. This information is given
for those who want to know about
her It has nothing 70 do with the
excellent production of the play here.
