DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at any
pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of the
tea, put a cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through sieve and drink q
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. It is the most
effective way to break cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus driving cold from the
system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. It is Inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

D. M. L. c. SECOND POUNCE ON
SENIORS.

In a game played as preliminary to
but far more interesting than the Spring
feld-High School game the D. M. L.
College second team defeated the high
school seniors by score of 81 to IT.
The senior team lacked the experience
and team work of their more experienced
opponents, some of whom have played
with the first team. The basket shoot
ing of the senior team was also poor while
that of the college team was good.
Ebert, the college forward, made seven
baskets during the game, five in the first
half and two in the second half. The
rest of the college players each made a
basket with the exception of Kohlkopf,
the college center. Pfaender and Zim-
hermann did the scoring for the senior
quint, each making three field baskets.
Alvin made the other field basket for the
senior team.
In the first half the college had four
p int lead on the seniors which they
managed to keep during the entire game,
altho the seniors played harder in the
second half and held them down to nine
points in that time, they themselves also
making the same number.
The game was good, clean game, all
unnecessary roughness being cast aside.
Nine fouls were made by both teams,
three by the seniors and five by the
college team.
This is the second game played be-
tween the college second and high school
teams, the first being played early in the
season with the sophomores in which
the sophomores defeated the college boys.
The lineup and summary of Fridays
game was as follows:

SPRINGFIELD DEFEATEDsss TO 6.

In rather one-sidea contest the high
school basket ball team met and defeated
the Springfield high school team by q
score of SO to g., The game was played
in the local high school gym. e,
The local boys made fifteen field
baskets in the first half and fourteen in
the second half while the best the Spring
field boys could do was to make four free
throws and one field basket, all of which
were made by Scott, the Springfield
center. T.
Durbahn and Schleuder were the best
basket makers for the local high, the
former getting fourteen and Schleuder
eight. D ougher also made five baskets
in the half in which he played and Her
zog two.
The game as far as fouls were con-
cerned was one of the best ever played,
the local boys making an even dozen
fouls, while Springfield had none to their
credit. This was no doubt due to the
rapidity in which the local quint handled
the ball, not giving Springfield chance
to foul. Of the twelve fouls made by
the New Ulm team four were made into
points by the Springfield center.
The work of the Springfield guards
was very ragged and this, coupled with
poor basket shooting by that team, and
excellent guarding by the New Ulm boys
spelled defeat for the Springfield team.
The lineup and summary of the game
was as follows:
