row Castle on Yacht harbor. Among
other novelties the tower of Jewels
will remain as a flaming gorgeous
memory. Each Court has it's own
lighting scheme. In the great glass
dome of the Palace Of Horticulture
battery of concealed searchlights
plays slowly through revolving col

color changes, and combin atoms.
The Palace of Fine Arts is curved
in shape with a great domed ro-
tunda fronting the encircling col
onades. This palace faces upon
a great lagoon Of placid water which
reflects its beautiful architecture.
Close to waters edge, in front Of
the rotunda, is an altar with an
attendant goddess guarding the
flame of inspiration. Wide terraces
at the entrance level have tall trees
on them, and tasteful arrangements
Of shrubbery surround these. From
these broad low flowered terraces
lead down to the water, and messy
walls of mesem bryanthemum vine
encircle the stairways. Myrtles
and pillar roses are trained against
the colonades. There are expresses

RIVER FALLS WINS STATE
CHAMPIONSHIP
Game Played on Field Ankle Deep With sIush

Coach Swenson'S gridiron war
riors "copped the bacon" at White
water last Friday afternoon, win
ming the state normal school foot
ball championship by a score of
to 0. The score however does not
represent the comparative strength
of the two teams. Upon dry field
River Falls would undoubtedly won
by at least three touchdownS. But
the Weather Man put up cruel con-
coction for the boys. All Thursday
night rain fell in torrents. In the
morning a generous portion of snow
was added, and when the teams
lined up for the kickoff the boys
were stan ding ankle deep in slush.
After five minutes of play the field
had the appearance of swampy
pig pen, and the players were SO
covered with mud that they could
not be identified by the crowd on
the sidelineS.
Whitewater won the toss and had
River Falls kick off to them against
the wind. They could not gain and
an exchange of punts followed.
Whitewater fumbled punt on their
own 40-yd. line and RIVER Falls re-
covered the ball. Using straight
football only, Schultz alternated
his backfeld in steady march to
the goal, Carl and Otto Eggebrecht
making the most consistent gains.
Otto made the final fourteen yards
and Richards kicked goal. Five
minutes after the first kick. off the
score was, River Falls 7, White
water 0.
During the rem ainder of the first
half River Falls keptthe ball always
within the home teams territory,
but fumbles and off-side penalties
held them in check. Another touch
down was lost when a perfect for.
ward pass over the goal line was
fumbled. The ballwas too slippery
to risk much passing, but at that
River Falls was successful in two
out of three attempts, while White.
water failed in every one of eight
tries at it. In the second quarter
Richards tried a drop-kick, but
could not boot the slippery pig
skin over.
The only time during the game
that Whitewater could be said to
have even threatened the River
Falls goal was in the final quarter,
when a penalty and tumble gave
them the ball on the Red and White
15-yd. line. On their first play
Morrow downed the runner for T.
I'd. loss. The second attempt was
spilled by Richards and Finn on the
28-yd. line. English nailed the

Things some of us have to be
thankful for.-When we stop to
think how many things we of the
high school have to be thankful for,
we should certainly make this
Thanksgiving a hearty one. One

thankful for that it would indeed be
hard to name them all, but | shall
try to state a few things we should
be thankful for. Each member OF
the faculty and each student should
be thankful that we haYe such a
fine new lighting system, vent1lat-

fine new addition. and above all,

Senior class should be thankful
that they are Seniors, andbe thank

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The first class team games oc-
cured Monday after school. The
Sophomores beat the Freshmen,
27-6, and the Seniors beat the Jun
iors 27-.9.
A very large audience was present
Monday evening at Miss Williams
plays. Many stood up through
the plays and many were turned
away. The plays were very sue
cessful and we'll rendered.
AT about ten-thirty last Monday
morning, the quiet studious atmos'
phere of the high school was dis
turbed by a loud and uproarous
clamoring, which,, sounding faint
but fierce in the distance, grew
louder and louder as a group OF
men approached the campus. Some
thought it was tribe OF Apache
Indians escaped from film COM
pany working in the Twin Cities.
But it was not. 1t was Cap. Schultz
and his gridiron warriors, celebrat-
ing their state championship vic
tory. About an hour later, the
building was completely surround
ed by a group of five hundred or
more Normal students and "Tubby''
Allard. This band was under the
leadership of q huge, mysterious
figure that moved in and out among
the students, quieting a group here
and stirring up a group there. Some
thought it was the spirit OF Bene'
dict Arnold. But it was not. 1t
was Professor Whitenack. After a
quiet and orderly demonstration,
leader and crowd disappeared down
Division street and were seen 10
more.

Goss Asks For Plans.
The Equity exchange has leen re-
quested by City Commissioners Goss to
prepare plans TO rthe elevator site,
trackage and dock facilities with a
view to giving the city council def
mite idea of what city property will
be required. The site favored is along
the Upper Levee between Walnut and
Sherman streets. Here the city owns
a strip of land on the water front 10
feet in width. y
If the plans for the site are so made
as to give the city a 30-foot roadway
it is believed they will be acceptable
to the council This can be accom-
plished by carrying the grain over the
roadway to the docks. Some proper
ty also may be required for the ele-
vator from the ST. Paul road, which
owns the entire block between Wal
nut and Sherman streets. but it is
understood the roads ready to lease
