JAMESTOWN GAME WILL TIE Up
THE TITLE FOR WILLISTON :
BIG CROWD ASSURED

Devils Lake was beaten at its oyJR.
game the first of the week by Sur,t-
L. A. White of the Williston hirh
school. As result Devils Lake will
lose it's opportunity to play Willis
ton for the state high school football
honors and will probably be consider
ed out of the running when reports
of negotiations here are made public.
The Devils Lake athletic authorities
seemed to be stalling to keep from
playing Williston when negotiations
were taken up the first of the week.
They offered 5000 to bring the VII
liston team there and were met by q
counter proposition of $3.50 by Supe
White. At every turn Mr.. White w1s
ahead of them until he finally Offer
ed $500 to the Devils Lake team tn
come here next Friday. During the
exchange Supt White looked about
for other possible claimants and found
that jamestown and Grafton wera
still in the race. A wire to James
town offering expenses brought 2
prompt acceptance and Jimtown viii

Crosby Men Like
Our Capt. Evans

One of Them Writing Home Says He
Could Send Them To Fight The
Devil and They'd Go
The following letter from the Divide
County Journal written by one Of the
Crosby Soldier boys tells how the
new men of the company like Capt
Evans:
Army life today must be entirely
different in many respects compared
to a few years ago. We, Of course,
have so much time devoted to dnill
then again certain hours set off for
play. We play the same games we
used to play in days of yore on the
red school house lot. We run races,
play leap frog, indoor baseball, bull
in the pen and one game, the name
Of which know only the army name,
and am afraid the censor would for
bid you to print the name even tho
the game is very innocent. Weform
a circle with one man outside the
circle who is furnished with pine
branch in shape of switch. The out
side man must hand this switch to
anyone he may choose, handle first
in his hand, then the outside man must
hurry like blazes to the vacant place
because the party to whom he hand
ed the switch has the solemn duty to
perform pf hitting him in the rear %
many times as he is able to before the
outside man locates the vacant place.
l tell you some of the boys get real
ambitious sabout that time, especially
so private Harvey Blair.
Williston people are sending the
company smokes, magazines, soaps,
etc. at various times. OF course, now
being part of Company E, we share
some of the stuff. We certainly were
lucky to get in. Company E. that is,
considering, Of course, that we had
to split. I actually believe thatevery
one of US would already fight the
devil if Captain Evans told us to. He
seems to INSPIRE confidence in the
boys. The members of the company
appear to be a good clean bunch of
fellows. AS stated before, consider
ing the fact that we had to be busted,
l am confident that with few pos
sible exceptions, the boys are salts
fed 50 far in being transferred to
Company E.

Below is the account Of the
Williston. Minot football game as
written by Bob Elsmore, who has
put the News sporting page on the
map. Local fans who saw the
xame say that the account is we'll
given with the possible exception
that the comparison might have
been made that the Minot lads were
not as well versed in the clean
game - the Fargo and Williston
men were. However, Bob might
naturally overlook that as he is .
loyal Minot fan.
Bob gives it to "Scotty' and it
is the prediction of Williston fans
that If . few more Of the sporting
writer's could see him in action
nothing can keep him from place
on the all state high school team.

ball he was good for a first down.
He was shifty and squirmed through
the Minot defense time after time.
His playing was Of the spectacular
nature and gave the fans an exhibi-
ton of the football sport that famed
their interest, even though he was
playing on the opposing aggregation.
Daigle, playing left end for Minot,
and Dunnell, right half, were the only
consistent players in the local group.
The former was in practically every
play and played stellar game at end.
His defensive and offensive playing
was beyond criticism. Many times
Daigle spilled the opposing backs and
just as many times he carried the ball
for good gains. Dunnell succeeded
,, in piercing the Williston line on cross
bucks late in the second period.
Jacobson also made some gains in
this period and it was during the Sec
ond quarter that the Minot team show
ed signs of scoring against the pow
erful Cutting bunch. Poor judgment,
however, was used in this period. With
only two minutes to play and the ball
in Minot's possession on the 35-yard
line the backs were hurled into the
Williston line. Instead of attempting
to get away with short forward pass
over the line the battering of the Will
liston line was continued, and when
the whistle blew for the end of the
second period the locals had worked
their way to the Williston 20 yard
line.
A belief then existed that Minot
could score against the visitors, the
surprising and successful offensive
launched by Kastner's boys indicating
that by snappy lighting the locals
might tally at least one touchdown.
Hard Fight in Second Period
The Williston team was given its
hardest fight in the second section, the
locals holding the foe to two touch
downs. Bruegger, Williston left end,
registered almost a perfect batting
average when it came to kicking goals
from touchdowns. Out of twelve
chances he kicked ten goals, thus scor-
ing ten points. besides touchdown
when he fell on the ball after it had
hsen blocked near the goal line and
rolled over the last chalk mark.
Nedrud Breaks Arm
Minot received thorough batter
ing. Nedrud, left tackle, suffering a
broken arm at the close of the first
quarter and Bowker taking his place.
In the fourth period Mcconnell went
in for Mcclure, who suffered wound
over the eye. Late in the same period
Murphy was ruled out on account of
unnecessary roughness and his place

that the 1st Regiment spent the past
ten days on the rifle range, myself
staying in camp with the band, had
no news from the Co. and therefore
wrote no letter last week.

sight of the Camp was one to be re-
membered. Hundreds Of tents, all
the same aze and in their straight
rows, with IA faint light showing
through cath tent and u small spiral
of smoke zrising from each, every
thing very quiet and southern moon
shining on The whole made rather
picturesque sight. ...
Our regiment went to the rifle range
Oct. 18th and returned Oct. 30th. The
range is II miles from Camp Greene
and they hilsed both ways. 1t lis To-
Gated on the bank of the Catawba
river in rough country. Much high
er than the camp here and the boys
found it quite cold, especially atnight.
The range was not prepared for shoot
ing and there was none done until the
last four days there. Go. "E' had two
days target practice and returned
with some very good records.
Eleven miles from the rifle range
: is located the little city of Gastonia,
place of about 25.0W and is a
wealthy territory. There, also, is To-
Gated the "Laurel Mills" the largest
cotton mills of the south. Many of
the boys visited the mills, new and
interesting sight. In and around the
city are located many large and beau
tiful homes. About mile and half
from the range is located Mt. Holly,
a smaller town but also quite inter-
,esting.

private Swain Of our Co. attended
church, and were taken in a limousine
by an attractive Southern Belle to
one of the beautiful homes having
locked gates, massive gardens, foun-
tains etc., and numerous buffers and
servants and were entertained at din
ner. The boys were rather dazed at
the largeness and beauty Of it all but
carried out their part in first class
manner.
Private O'Hara and Harter failed
to return to quarters one night at the
range and consequently are confined
to quarters for while. Their ex-
PLANTATION was that they missed the
train but we think perhaps they heard
Gardner and Swain tell of their good
fortune and were out looking for a
similar experience.
However, at the end of 10 days the
boys were glad to get back to Camp
Greene where we have more comfort
able quarters and warmer evenings.
We had our coolest night Tuesday.

ANCIENT SEA CEREMONY Is
PERFORMED BY FRESHMEN

CORK, Oct. 24.-The members of
the Irish convention braved the dang
ers of mines and submarines ago
when they went by steamer to the en-
trance of Queenstown harbor and
watched the Lord Mayor of Cork per-
form the quaint and ancient custom of
throwing the dart into the sea to de-
fine the limits of his authority as ad-
miral of the port.
This practice originated in a charter
granted TO the city by King Henry
Seventh in 1900. 1t prescribed that
every three years the ceremony be
performed at a point three miles out
side of the harbor.
This time however, owing to sub
marines and mine menace, the mayor
winked at the custom and to the great
relief of his five hundred guests, salts
fed tradition by casting the dart at
the very mouth of the harbor.
Irishmen of all creeds and classes
sat down to luncheon served on board
Noblemen broke bread beside the
democrat and all seemed on good
terms The Protestant Archbishop IF
all Ireland sat beside Catholic Arch
bishop Harry, Of Cashel, while beside
John Redmond were the Earl of Gran
ard and Viscount Middleton.
After toasts had been drunk to the
king and success to the convention,
Sir Horace Plunkett made a hopeful
speech on the conventions prospects
