The North Dakota Aggies proved
the better skaters, and skidded to a
IL to victory over the Manchester
college, st. Paul, football eleven on
Daeotah field Monday afternoon.
The gridiron, though cleared of
snow, was hard and slippery, and for
the most part afforded poor footing
for the runners. A cold, piercing wind
cut down the attendance, and drove
the crowd to the friendly shelter of
nearby buildings between halves.
The game itself was hard fought,
but at no time did the Minnesotans
have a chance to score. The Aggies
took the aggressive early in the game,
driving through the Macalester line
for good gains, and making long runs
around end. Manchester was often
forced to punt after three plays had
broken against the Aggies' line with
out gain. Straight football was large
ly employed by both teams.
AEgfes Score Twice.
Honors were about even In the first
half, Macalester's defensive counter
ing the Aggies' omense. In the sec
ond half, however. the Aggies broke
the third quarter and another in the
fourth. Both attempts to kick goal
were failures.
Hanson, fullback, drove through
the line for the first touchdown after
a long end run by Anderson, and 3
on Macalester's ten-yard line. Ander-
son carried the ball over for the sec
ond touchdown, making a pretty run
for half the length of the field.
NemHek and Kelly Star.
Nemzek, left tackle, and Kelly,
quarterback, were easily the stars for
the Aggies. Nemzek proved a tower
of strength on the defense, and time
after time broke up Manchester plays
before they could get under way. KEEL
ly displayed good Eeneralship in hand
ling the team. Hanson and Anderson
were good ground gamers.
Mock and Clancy played strong
games for Manchester.

COMMANDER IS
WARMLYPRAISED
Admiral Sims Praises Cool
ness Displayed By Of
ficers of Destroyer
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Oct. 23.-Coolness
and quick maneuvering by Com
mander Walter H. Vernon probably
saved the American destroyer Cassin
from destruction in an encounter
with a German submarine in the
war zone on Oct. Is, the navy de-
partment was advised today by Wise
Admiral Sims in his full report of
the fight. meager details of which
were received last week.
Before she had an opportunity to
fire shot. the destroyer was hit on
the stern by a torpedo which killed
Gunner's Mate Osmond Kelly In
gram, slightly wounded five others
of the crew and put the engine out
Of commission.
The Cassin had been searching
half an hour for a submarine first
sighted five miles away, when Com
mander Vernon suddenly saw a tor
pedo 400 yards distant and making
for the ship at great speed. Realiz-
ing that his vessel was in imminent
danger of being hit amidships and
broken in two. the commander or
dered full speed ahead and the wheel
hard over. The patrol boat was just
clear Of the torpedos path when the
turned sharply and hit its objective.
Recovering quickly from the shock
of the explosion the Cassin contin-
ued the search to be rewarded by
the showing Of the U-boat's coming
tower. Four shots were sent at the
boat and two came so close that
the submarine quickly went under
again. With all men alert at their
stations, the destroyer continued it's
hunt until darkness. Later, con-
voyed by other American and Brit
ish patrol boats, she made port. In
the meantime officers and men had
made temporary repairs.
Vice Admiral Sims, in his report,
states that the behavior OF the officer
and the entire crew was admirable,
commends the British navy for the
prompt and efficient assistance
rendered the Cassin, gives special
credit to Commander Vernon for his
vigilance and prompt action, which
probably saved the Cassin from to-
tai loss and also Lieutenants Mac
Laren, Saunders and Parkinson for
their ingenuity in effecting temper
airy repairs.

Madison high for four seasons ana

transmitted to H. /. Turner, father of
the boys, who is with the Interna-

Camp Lee, Virginia, Oct. 5, 1917.
Dear Tsrother Frank
Received your letter two or three
days ago and have delayed in ans
wering as wanted to get "A iaw snap

tainly appreciated your letter very
much. Letters are at premium here.
Writing and receiving letters are
practically the only diversions the
camp has to offer, thus the reason. We
are only about three miles from Pet
ersburg, and twenty from Richmond,
so stand a show to relieve the mo-
Eotcny by going to either place when
feel anywhere near flush. The life
hasn't began to pail upon me yet,
however, so don't misconstrue the
above as an expression of discomfort.
The novelty of it all has not as yet
lost its edge and hope will keep
ufI1ciently interested and occupied
to do my bit" until the war is over.
Virginia is certainly a beautiful
state, especially the Alleghenies, and
the Blue Ridge Mountains, through
which we passed when we first came
here two months ago. The whole
thing is SIS typically southern as /
had always imagined 1t would be,
even to the turkey buzzards contin-
ually circling in the air. Have been
listening intently for Irwin Cobb's
beIled buzzard but so far that mas
terpiece Of fiction hasn't put In an
appearance.
/ can manage to keep myself pref
ty well supplied with the luxuries you
mention up to certain period Of the
month with the money receive on
the first. but after that time my
sweet tooth begins to suffer from
neglect Am sending fifteen or twen-
ty home every month SO consequent
~ have but a short course to run
with the balance. Am using up some
Of said balance to purchase drawing
materials and intend to put in most
OF my evenings working at 1t. Have
already spoken for the use Of our
