man for loss. Morrow was good at
intercepting and receiving passes.
The backfeld was composed of
Capt. Smith at quarter, Hammond
at full back, Nichols and George at
half back. Billy was quarter last
year but on account of sickness did
not play much at that position but
being in trim through this season.
he did great things. Time after time
he would pull fake play and Billy
would be seen going Ground the op-
posite end for good gain. He might
be called the Human Cork Screw,
for he would dodge in and out and
work his way for Is and 20 yards at
time.
Nichols and George both played
good games and divide honors al
most evenly for carrying the ball
and both were fast and good at
smashing tackles. Nichols did the
kicking for the team. His punts were
from 40 to so yards. He kicked two
drop kicks in one game, one SO yds.
and another 33 yds. Hammond
played good game all season and
his line plunges were always good
for yds. and sometimes he tore
through center or off guard for 10
or Is yds. He was great man at
defensive, getting into every play.
Too much credit cannot be given
to those boys who came out to help
the team. All the subs with the ex-
ception of Moe and Portius were
used on one game or another. Lin
jer and J. Foster played sub guards,
while Chinook played sub end. Fin
ley played sub half back and al
though small and light was a good
dodger.
The team will lose quite number
of it's regular men by graduation
this year. Namely, Capt. Smith,
Hunter, Peterson, Morrow and Snod-
grass.
With the State Normal school here
the high school is lost in it's bright
light, but those loyal members of
the city who saw the high school
boys in action cannot say anything
but good for them and that they de-
serve lot Of credit. In the past
the high school football boys have
gone on to school and have made
good. The present River Falls Nor
NAL team has four local boys in the
squad.

School In Voting

On election day teachers from the
local schools brought students to the
polls to witness the voting, explain
ing to them the system of marking
and casting ballots. 1t is good idea
and the fact that it has not been
made sufficiently prominent hereto
fore was amply illustrated when the
count was made that evening.
In counting votes the rule is to
credit the evident intention of the
voter, but in many, many instances,
both at this and at the primaries last
September, the markings were so
homogeneous as to be beyond inter-
probation. There was a surprisingly
large number Of ballots which show
ed that the voter did not understand
the significance of his own markings.
Here are some instances which the
election officials discovered:
At the primaries several voters
marked three or four candidates as
their choice for the same office on
the Republican ticket. A number
wrote in Republican candidates
names on Democratic ballots. Others
''split" their primary tickets.
The most prominent error at the
general election was the marking of
one national ticket straight, and
then voting individually for the
electors Of another party, while
others wrote in the names of the
presidential nominees and marked a
cross after them. Two or three voted
both of the two leading national
parties straight" and also favored
few of the electors on other tickets
as well.
Now most Of these freak mark
ings did not kill" heballots, as the
intention could be concluded, but
they do illustrate the fact that a
school course in voting is badly need

ffSIickerS" and the Farm Loan
law

Editor James M. Pierce of the
Wisconsin Farmer issues a timely
warning in regard to the new Farm
Loan Law which went into effect
last July. Smooth adventures in
finance always are found present to
take advantage of the unwary and
this might prove likely looking
prospect to some Of these as a chance
to make money with seemingly gov
eminent endorsement. 1t is sug-
gested that an INSCRIPTIONS pro
moter may claim ability to help the
farmer out in securing loan
through this law, charging, Of course
a commission or bonus for his serv-
ice. Farmers who wish to borrow
under the new law should write di-
rect to the Farmers Loan Board, at
Washington, for complete informa-
ton, and be guided by that alone.

North So. Paul DoWned $50

Saturday, Nov. II, the local high
school football team played their last
game of the season, defeating N.
st. Paul $50. The game was rather
slow and uninteresting, for the locals
could score at will. The entire squad
was given a chance to play and some
of them showed up quite we'll. The
game was featured by some good
judgment on Capt. Smiths part; al
so the work of Hammond and
George, who carried the ball for
some good gains. In the line Roy
Nordby, Doc Petersen and Chas.
Hunter did the bulk of the work,
making holes and breaking up plays.
On looking over the season just
closed, we find that the local high
school has played six games, winning
four, losing one, tying one. The OPP
ponents of the high school scored Is
points while she scored 131 points.
They also compare favorably with
the larger high schools of the cities,
having beaten Johnson, a school of
700 students, by a score Of 40-6.
The team was composed of five
men Of last years squad and the rest
were either subs last year or new.
The team averaged a little less than
140 pounds throughout.
The center position was held down
by Nordby who played a consistent
game all season and who broke pass
after pass of the opponents. He al
so did some great blocking and
breaking up of plays before they got
started.
Scott and Quinn with Foster
changing off played guard and held
down their position we'll. Both men
were new but time after time Scott
would break through to tackle q
man behind the line and also block
punts.
Doc Peterson and Hunter were the
pillars of the machine and on these
two men depended the game because
if they could not open holes the back
line could not gain. Hunter also
was in the game defensively. for the
opposing team never tried many
runs through him, for he was toe
much for them. Doc was always
there when a play was called.
Through him and to him must be
given the credit for allowing the
backs to make good gains through his
end of the line.
Badger and Snodgrass began the
season at end but after the first
game Morrow replaced Badger at
end on account off Badgers injury
There were few teams who tried end
runs, SO the ends did not get much
work except in one game when
Snodgrass broke up the interference
so that the backs could throw the
