MAKINGGOOD,
Cheese Prices Are Right.
Directors Decide to
Make Brick Cheese.

On October 10 the cheese factory will
be able TO pay about creamery butterfat
prices for September milk. The milk
supply has fallen off somewhat, which
is to be expected at this time OF the
year. Cheese has advanced from three
to four cents in price. and conditions are
just right to bring big returns il a large
supply can be obtained. The building.
of five or six new silos, and the plans OF,
several patrons to increase their herds,
promise well for next year. At theiI
meeting Saturday the directors decided,
ITO equip the plant for making brick,
cheese, and the first batch will be turn
ed out today. Brick is quoted at five
pcents above chedder cheese. With the.
factory equipped for making both kinds.
lit will be able to take advantage OF the
market and make the kind that pays
best. Mr.. Timer, who is experienced
bin the manufacture of brick cheese, says
that it will be very profitable during the
cold months. The milk must be per-
fectly sweet for making this cheese.
/ The farmers should stand squarely by
this venture, as it means much for the
hereafter. With a plant and equipment
up .to-date and practically paid for. the
Edirectors and manager feel encouraged
for bright future.

red, getting five baskets and one foul,
Nelson four, Severinson two and
Sather one.
The next game was with Granite
Falls and was played in our Gym"
Granite Falls has hardly If ever at al
defeated our high school team and
therefore could not come here with
any hopes of winning. If such had
been the case, their hopes were de-
stroyed. Their shots were good but
they were unable to guard our men.
The Willmar team won. Nelson shot
eight baskets, Erickson six, Severin-
son and Osmundson each three, John
son two and Limperich one.
Litchfield came next in line our
team going to Litchfield. These
games bring the largest crowd with
the exception Of the ones with the
Seminary.
Litchfield had large team, their
center being almost a half foot taller
than our center, Erickson, but in spite
of this he failed to get the tip-off.
Willmar won easily in the first half
and almost as easy. The final score
was almost two to one.

About this time a championship
team from Beardsley challenged us.
They had not lost a single game for
two seasons. When they asked for
the game, they wrote that since Will
mar had a strong high school team,
they would like to play at Beardsley
and they hoped our team would at
least be good practice for them. Our
team went prepared, expecting to
meet an exceptionally fast team. The
small gymnasium was hindrance to
our team, but nevertheless they play
ed quite good and won with a score
Of over five to one, Erickson getting
nine baskets, Severinson seven, John.
son three and Limperich two.
Next in order, was with Dassel, who
had defeated Litchield. The WILL
mar team expected fast hard game
and were prepared. It seemed queer
but Dassel had no chance from the
beginning and Willmar won with a
score of over four to one. Severinson
made the largest number of baskets
made by any of the players during
this season, Erickson made eight,
Johnson seven and Osmundson two.

evenly matched, the Willmar brain
taking place of the opponents Drawn.
The first half was scoreless, but in
the third quarter Redwood Falls made
touchdown and failed to kick goal.
After this no points were made by
either side until the last thirty sec
onds of the game. Then, two success
full passes brought the ball to the cp-
ponents one yard line and the next
play tied the score. And as Willmar
also missed the goal, the final score
was 6 to 6.
The next Saturday the team went to
Litchfield which has nearly always
had a comparatively strong football
team; this was true also in 1914, but
Willmar was ready for them, having
every play we'll in hand and defeated
them with a score of Fl to z.
The next game was with Window
Institute of Montevideo. They had

The next week both the girls q
boys went to Granite Falls 1ori

had to play old rules as the Grant
Falls team were not accustomed

school, we were ready to play 2 got

very weak team which the beginning
Of the game plainly showed. At the
end of the first half, Willmar had a
large score without very much exer-
ton. AS the game progressed the
Willmar rooters yelled for score of
100 to o, and Window being unable
to block the passes were defeated by
that score.
The following Saturday the team
went to Montevideo. This game would
have probably been as disastrous to
the Window Institute as the one pre-
ceding it, for the first half being AZ
to o in favor of Willmar, when the
game was called off.
This last football season Of 1915,
also had few victories for Willmar,
not because of the lack of many good
players attending school, but who, be-
cause of parental objection, could not
enter the game. Montevideo defeated
us, Paynesville being a weaker team
did not and could not, as we knew the
game somewhat better than they did.
This game ended with score Of 4S

Christmas vacations, all the members
of the squad showed up with a great
deal Of enthusiasm.
Also this year we adopted new rules
which made the games faster and
more interesting, both to the men,
bers of the team and the audience.
The floor was divided into two courts
instead Of three, the first center play
ing guard and the second playing for
ward.
Our first game was played with
Granite Falls on the home floor, and
they kept up their record Of the past
two years by winning the game.
We had a game scheduled with
Litchfeld on the opponents floor, but
on account of the irregularity Of the
trains, we were unable to play the
stated game. Two weeks later our
old-time rival, Litchfield, played us
on the home floor and we again lost
the game as the Litchfield girls had
been accustomed to playing boys
! rules and they soon showed their ST.
perior strength. But we all took it
good-naturedly and had a social time
at the Odd Fellows Hall afterwards.

ing to give one Of the subs chance.
He thought that because Willmar had
won so easily in tho last game with
this team, they could easily win
again without Erickson. He soon
changed his mind for two reasons,
first, our team was not used to play
ing without Erickson and secondly,
their team had improved greatly by
the addition of red-headed forward
who starred on that team. The first
half ended in a tie, IA to IA. Coach
Bender probably fearing worse results
put in Erickson in the second half.
Then because of this the score of the
last half was % to 2. Severinson
made five baskets in this game, FIR
ickson four, Johnson and Osmundson
each three and Limperich one.

BY athletics we do not mean only
foot ball as is generally supposed, but
basket ball. base ball, track or any
game that can be played both indoors
and outdoors. \ healthy body under
good control is necessary in this day
Of high tension in all pursuits and
games, sports or athletics Of any kind
that will result in better brains, bet
ter balanced nervous systems, and
better muscular fibre will further en-
phasize the value Of this type Of edu-
cation. 1t is good discipline in teach
ing self control and prompt obedience
to rules; it develops the mind for
concentration and developing sound
bodies in which may dwell sound
minds will result in poise Of both
mind and body.
1t is true there is always the ele-
ment OF danger, many accidents occur
that are unfortunate, but these are
met in all things in which any kind
Of a contest takes place. 1t has be-
come universal in belief that the AM
erican people love those contests
where there is the most danger Not
to be countenanced but should be con-
trolled by splendidly equipped gym.
naSiums. play grounds which are so
aptly called the Lungs Of a city,"
Then if boys are we'll prepared for
this work their bodies we'll taken
care OF. and an examination given
by physician chosen for this work,
there is no reason why any boy or girl
cannot enter into all Of these sports.
In the Willmar high athletics are car
ried on as far as equipment will per-
init. Because Of no proper place to
practice during the winter months
the most healthful of all sports, name
ly that of track work has never been
encouraged. Track athletics is sec
ond to none in Importance and in
many respects a better standard by
which to judge real athletics. Their
Importance, in a great measure, lies
in the opportunity which they afford
for individual development Fifty to
seventy-five boys can work on the
track, for the risk of serious injury is
practically eliminated, thereby this
sport reaches the larger number OF
boys. Many will enter some events
for they realize they have not the
physical strength to play football OF
basket ball but will come out and en-
joy themselves running or jumping
and so become healthy, strong boys
without having the rough and tumble
life necessary in other sports. This is
not necessarily confined to the boys
Of the high school but can be extend
ed to the grades, where the enthus
iasm is unbounded for just such work
1t should be simplified for them to be
of any benefit and again we see the
need of we'll equipped gymnasium
which would be open at all times tt
not only the children Of the public
schools but to the tired business me1
who could spend an hour or two at
ter supper thereby forgetting thu
strenuous business life in an evening
Of pleasure.

always takes the lead in basket ball.
For the last four years Willmar has
had the strongest teams in the history
Of Willmar high school athletics.
In the basket ball season Of 1928,
Willmar played seventeen games aad
out Of those won fifteen. Winning the
championship Of the seventh district,
they went to Northfield where they
came out second in the contest for
the state championship Of Mime
sota
The basket ball team Of 1914 did
not rank as high as the one Of the
preceding year. They had good
team, but it was not one that could
be depended upon in a game. They
could win a game two to one and
playing the same team again, might
lose by a large score. The team sur
prised the spectators many times by
winning over teams that had not
been defeated before and were rot
expecting to be by high school team.
They were defeated by Alexandria
and therefore lost the championship
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1916-04-19

After the return of the team from
Northfield, the first game played was
with the Seminary at the High School
Gym. Basket ball enthusiasts FROM
both schools were there to see the
game, closer game being expected.
The two teams played an equally good
game until the last part Of the first
half when the high school began to
take the lead. The Seminary team
seemed to gain in the beginning OF
the second half, but the high school
team continued to make baskets i'll
quick succession. When the whistle
blew the high school was fourte N
points in the lead. Severinson made
four baskets, Nelson three, Erickson
two, and Osmundson and Limperich
each one.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1916-04-19

The two teams met again at the
Seminary, with a larger crowd, be-
cause everybody thot there would be
a change in score when the Seminary
played on their own floor. It SEEM
ed to be a hard luck" game for tia
high school, because at the begin:

half ended with the Seminary way in

FOOTBALL

Up to the last part of the football
season Of 1914, Willmar has had a
strong football team every year,
scarcely losing g. game.
At the beginning Of that season the
Redwood Falls High School journeyed
here. Although Redwood Falls had
the heavier team, the two teams were
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1916-04-19

This years team, 1915-'16 although
having but two men of last years team
was even a better team than had
been expected at first.
The first game was with the city
team, who it seems were better pr y
pared for the game than the high
school, because the high school team
started practicing later than usual
and had practiced very little before
Christmas. The Cosmos seemed to
be in mid-season form. Erickson star

of the district.
The team of 1914-'15 was strong
team in comparison with the other
teams of the district. They were vic
torious in the beginning and never
fell down in defeat except in one
game. Having defeated the teams Of
this district they went to Mortified
and in the race for championship
Willmar came third. Later they de-
feated the Seminary and Cosmos
therefore becoming champions Of the
city.

The high school team went to North
field Thursday, March %. They drew
Austin for the first game, March "a.

Of the centers, Erickson and Dugan,
Willmar had only a slight chance of
winning as they were not accustomed

having Erickson get the tip-off so this
may have been the chief reason for
the loss. Austin beat the Willmar
team by score of over to 1. John
son, Erickson and Nelson each made
a basket and Severinson starred max
ing eight baskets. He received votes
for the position Of forward for the
all-state team but was defeated by
Wengert of Austen and Cussan Of
Virginia. Had Willmar defeated Aus
tin the chances are that Severinson
would have filled the position on the
allstate team. :,

the lead. The second half was some
better for the high school because
Severinson was able to play again and
that was some encouragement to the
other players. They played hard but
did not win because in the first half
the Seminary were too far in the lead.
The two school teams having each
won game now met a third time
and at the Seminary gym. Thus CIV
ing them that advantage. Severtu-
son played through the whole game
and the Seminary had a very small;
chance of winning and they lost tie
game by eight points. Severinson
made four baskets, Nelson three, En-
ickson two and Lmperich one. The
high school has the championship Of
the city, except losing to the Cosmos.
The Cosmos will not be able to beat
the high school easily, If at all, when
another game is played this season.

Here's to the 1916 eleven, may they
prove to be a greater success than
their predecessors.
GIRLS BASKET BALL

The season opened late this year
as there seemed to be other things
to take up the time. This year for
the first time, written consents from
the parents and Doctors certificates
were demanded. This hindered the
practice for a while, but after the

Now Willmar met Litchfleld again.
It was Willmar's game from the be-
ginning to the end. Severinson fail
ed to show up because one boy who
was guarding him had been told to
guard Severinson only, therefore he
succeeded in getting only two bas-
kets. Err ckson made eight baskets,
Johnson six and Osmundson one.

whitman played Morton next at Cot.
tonwood for the last struggle for the
championship. Morton was so sure of
victory over Willmar so preparations
were already made for their trip to
NOrthfield. Cottonwood and a few
other towns near there were wishing
for Willmar's defeat in this game, but
were disappointed for Willmar won by
six points. Severinson led in basket
shooting for Willmar, making six bas.
kets, followed by Johnson with three,
with one.
