Ladies of the Relief Corps did them

soldiers, members of the band, mount.

hall at the close of the exercises.
The human flag arranged by women
Of the Corps, was an undertaking that
deserves especial commentator. Chill
dren dressed in red, white and blue
were arranged in such position that the
n presentation was well nigh perfect.
| 1t was d feature that attracted uniYer-
| sal attention.
The parade was certainly one of the
most imposing this city has ever seen,
extending over several blocks. 1t is
proper that the old veterans be carried
in automobiles instead of marching as
in the past. The Relief Corps, too, who
are vital factor in keeping very much
alive the soldier organization were thus
carried.
The city was profusely trimmed out
with flags and bunting, business and
residence sections presenting a patri-
otic air.

charge of the automobile feature thank

Sunday morning q veterans and q
Of the Relief Corps marched in body
to the Congregational church, where
union service was held. In the center
of the church these orders formed a
body and listened to a patriotic and sp-
propriate address by Rev. J. B. Rutter.
The choir provided choice selections ap.
propriste to the day. The church was
very neatly decorated with the nation
al colors and floral pieces.

In another column today the Ban

Rev. ]. S. Clark of North Bennington
relative to whooping cough. The
Banner has no first hand information
of conditions that may exist in North
Bennington but it takes this oppor-
tunity to call the attention of the
public, particularly mothers, TO the
serious results that may follow an
attack of whooping cough. There is
an old.fashiOned idea, not yet relegat-
ed to the scrap heap where it belongs,
that whooping cough is an inevitable
evil Of not much consequence, that
children are bound to have it anyway
and therefore the sooner the trial is
over with the better Whooping
cough instead of being a mere incident
Of childhood is one Of the most dan

disease, now that anii-toxin is avail
ole, arc rare but the deaths from
whoopmg cough are many more than

Serious Consideration.
Editor of The Banner: My atten-
tion has repeatedly been called to the
fragrant way in which the quarantine
for whooping cough is violated by the
children having the disease. Two
babies have recently died from the
malady in our community and yet the
health officers do not enforce the
quarantine. In several cases, too, |
am told that no notice has been post
ed on the house where the children
are sick. Every parent should have a
moral obligation leading them to
keep the children on the premises.
And if they have not this obligation
the Board Of Health should insist up

was considered the weak side Of the
Army's line.
In the hard practice today and to-
morrow Head Coach DAILY will try
Stencil, new man, as substitute for
Gerhardt at quarterback. Meanwhile
It is definitely announced that Oil

The team will be one of the heaviest

Annapolis, Nd, Nov. 2l.--The final
instructions and the final work Of
smoothing up their machine is being

game with Army at New York on
Saturday. Notwithstanding the shade
better showing of the Army during
the season and the fact that the Navy
must use many new men against the
West Point back field of veter-
ans, there is growing confidence
here that the sailors will be victorious
this year.
1t is believed the Navy lineup will
be much the same as that which
started the game against Villa Nova
last Saturday. The squad will leave
Annapolis Thursday. About 1900
midshipmen will make the trip to New

Professionals to
Sit in Councils of
Amateur Athletes

New York, Nov. 2l,-Becuse the
knowledge they possess is needed to
promote the best interest of the Am
atcur Athletic union, professionals
will be allowed to sit in the councils
OF the union. This action was taken
after stormy session, which marked
the close of the organizations an
NAL meeting late last night,
The convention rejected two OF the
most important proposals of the r.
vised constitution presented for
adoption. One was the clause which
would have kept out of the legislative
affairs of the union man who could
not prove he was an amateur in every
sense of the word. The other was
the proposed regulation which would
have denied women swimmers the
right to register with the union.
Virtually all the other features Of
the new code were adopted. These
include the new definition of an ANA
teur and the acts OF debarment which
would bar every athlete who in any
way infringes the prescribed regula-
tons.
The women swimmers question
was settled after hard fight in which
the delegates of the Metropolitan, the
Southern and the Pacific Northwest
associations, the latter by proxy,
were opposed to the delegates Of the
Middle Atlantic, New England, Cen
trail and Hawaiian associations.
The next annual convention will be
at st. Louis.

OMAHA CHALLENGES
LINCOLN TO BATTLE
Local School Defies Rival to
Play Post Season Game for
State Championship.
SIOUX CITY COMES NEXT

Central High school OF Omaha has
challenged the Lincoln High school
to a post season game to determine
the championship OF the state. The
challenge has been dispatched to Lin
coin, and the local school hopes to
hear an early answer.
Omaha and Lincoln fought 6 to 6
tie on Nebraska field, at Lincoln, Nov
ember II. The game was so hercely
contested and was so interesting to
the spectators who attended that agi-
tation for post-eason game was
started.
Omaha and Lincoln are now tied
for the state championship, neither
school having been defeated Lincoln,
however, plays North Platte Friday,
and il the lads from Nevilles village
should win, plans for the post-season
game would be wiped, as North
Platte would have clear claim to
the title.
Lincoln, according TO reports, isn't
overly anxious to stage a post-season
combat. There is a suspicion the
Links have bunch they might get
trimmed. But Mulligan's warriors be-
lieve they have the edge on their cap
ital city rivals, and would like to
tangle again.
Saturday the Omaha lads will in
wade Sooux City for a conflict with
the gridiron stars of the high school
at that place. The Sioux have a
cracking good team this year, it Is
said to be the best in Iowa, and the
dope reads for an even battle. Multi.
gan has been working overtime train
ing his boys for the event, and hopes
to return with a victory.

STEWART SHIFTS
MEN TO MEET IOWA
cornhusker Coach Trying New
Combinations to Compete
With Hawkeyes.
KEEPS BEHIND SHUT GATES

Lincoln, Nov. q. - Especially -
Coach Stewart of the Huskers made
another shift last night in the hope
of developing a more powerful Of
tense for the Iowa game next Satur-
day afternoon at Iowa City.
Stewart put Cook and Galley at
halls, and transferred Tim Morris, the
old North Platte star, from a substi-
tute position on the line to fullback
Dobson or Rhodes will complete the
backheld quartet. Cook and Galley
are the two fastest men on the var
sity squad, and have shown the most
consistent ability to advance the ball.
Heretofore DR.. Stewart has been TN
able to use only one of them in his
lineup, keeping the other in reserve
on the side-lines. With this added
strength, Stewart is hopeful that his
scoring machine will lug more po-
tent punch.
The Huskers had their drill today
and last evening entirely against Iowa
formations, which were brought back
by Vic Halligan, the old Husker star,
who saw the Hawkeyes lick Ames
last Saturday. Halligan verified the
earlier reports which Stewart brought
in of the strength of the Iowa eleven,
and said Nebraska would face the
best machine at Iowa City developed
in recent years. The Huskers had
good luck in solving the Iowa forma-
tons, however, and even the power
full freshmen eleven could make no
progress against the stubborn de-
Tense put up by the line.
Under the new arrangement, Jim
my Gardiner, the old Omaha star,
will go back to end, and Corey will
resume his old position at tackle,
where he is without a rival in the
Missouri valley. With Tied" Riddell,
Cook and Gardiner on the receiving
end, the forward passes hurled by
Galley should be more successful than
those attempted by the Husker team
in the Kansas game.
Practically sure that Moser will
not be in shape to play against the
Hawkeyes, Stewart will also have to
devote his attention to drilling Cam
eron for the pivot position. Gamer
on is an experienced center, and the
loss of Moser will not materially
weaken the Husker lineup with Corey
and Shaw back at their old position at
tackles. ..
Ted Riddells bum hoof was not
hurt in the Kansas game, and he
should be in better physical condition
than any time during the season.
Stewart has directed that all of the
practice during the coming week be
held behind closed doors.
