IDAHO FALLS LOSES
GAME TO BLACKFOOT

mountains and lamplighters were
busy lighting their lamps. A long
shrill whistle was heard on the grid
iron, momentary silence from great
throng; family, in the far approaching
darkness twenty two dusky individuals
could be seen to cease their struggles,
they parted, eleven going to friends
on one side of the field and eleven to
friends on the other side. The whis-
tie was sounding the knell Of the end
of the Idaho Falls -Blackfoot football
game and the two teams of eleven
making their way to friends were the
victor and vanquished.
Hardly were the echoes of that whis-
tie stilled when 800 wearers of the red
and white burst forth in frenzy Of
joy. Their team had won.
Defeated but not discouraged or
down hearted the great throng of
Idaho Falls rooters rallied around their
team and cheered them as loudly as if
they had won.
It was remarkable exhibition of
loyalty and such that even Blackfoot
wondered at it. The orange and black
had been defeated it was true, but
out-played. It is sad story to re-
late.
Hardly had the game started when
Dame Fortune, viewing the contest
from her throne on high, cast her for
tunes with Blackfoot. Capt. Blom
quist Of Blackfoot won the toss and
chose to defend the south goal with
the advantage of having binding
sun at his back. The kick off went
to the goal line and Wackerli was
downed on his ten yard line. A mix
up in signals and the ball was thrown
behind the goal line. Big Stephens
(Bacon) of Blackfoot spied it lying
there and without waiting for orders
pounced upon the oral as though it

A touchdown and six points had been
given to Blackfoot. The try at goal
was missed.
Not discouraged by this bit of mis-
! fortune the local team came back
fighting harder than ever. From the
great crowd Of rooters came the plea
| to fight to win, to beat Blackfoot. And
the team did play hard to win for they
knew that to score a touchdown and
then to kick goal would mean vie
tory for them. But Blackfoot was
equally determined not to let the Falls
beat them and used every means to
keep safe the margin they had received
from the Idaho Falls team. But there
was more misfortune in store for the

players came 'sTommy' Bucklin.
sturdy right end for Idaho Falls, boss

at Paris recently. explained to a CORE

flunetly. said:
"As regards the relations between
the United States and Japan, it must
be remembered always that we look
with gratitude upon the United States
as the country which 90 years ago put
us in communica ton with the outside
world, after a period of twenty-five
hundred years of almost non-communl-
cation with any other people than
those of our own islands except few
rare instances
worldwide reports that the two coun-
tries had conflicting national inter
ests which would eventually bring
them to war. First the United States
thought we might attack her, accord
ing to these reports Now the reports
have been shifted the other way At
home our people are made to believe
that the United States is preparing to
attack US 1t is most amusing l have
many American friends and of course
we discuss these things All OF us
know that there are all reasons for
both nations 10 be friendly Inc Wnole

such reports lead to the maintaining
of expensive fleets. to the building OF
coast defences. I have had some ex-
perience in war costs, 1 think, and
know what such foolishness means in

Sees German Connection
"T sincerely believe these reports
have a German origin, since Germany
has never wished us well and would
like 10 see US in difficulties with the
United States. but the United States
and Japan are too far away from each
other TO have the same jealousies that
exist among the nations of Europe,
with neighboring frontiers

Japan TO have the United States de

spend the money needed to do IL and
we are not, and it is a fine thing for
US and our trade to have peaceful and
prosperous neighbors. no matter who
they are. It is one OF the economic
errors OF the present. for instance TO
suppose that the losses Of Europe are
the gains of the United States and
Japan because they happen to be SELL

losses in Europe in the end"
