carried in an exceptionally fine man
ner.
Last Thursday Mr.. Larson, War
correspondent for the Minneapolis
Tribune, who gave the "Warlogue" at
the Methodist church that same eve
ming, talked for a few minutes on the

IS. They won their second game with
Mellen, by a score of "a to IA, but lost
their third and the fore-final game to
