Best Seasons Scorer

WALES basketball team is the intercol-
L legiate champion for 1917. The Blue
five. a veteran combination which, with
only two changes, won the intercollegiate
championship in 1915, suffered only one
setback during the series. That was at
the hands of Princeton, but it more than
made up for the early defeat by the SUI
perior game 1t played against the Tigers in
the final game and on which the title de-
pended.
Although its record was spoiled by the
one defeat. the Yale five rightly earned
a place with the great teams which have
been winners Of the championship in other
years.

of the late Gil Kinney. who Vas coaching

DEFENSE WORK is GROWING
Dunn County Workers Are Conducting
Tour and Organizing Councils
In Every Township.

Madison-The Dunn county council
of defense has sprung an innovation
in the method of extending it's work
throughout the county.
Since the Dunn County board has ap-
propriated $1,000 for local defense
work a small party of very active
workers has been touring the whole
county in an automobile conducting
defense meetings in every town and
village.
During the past week two additional
features have been made a part of the
travelling demonstrations. A woman
representative has been accompany
ing the party to speak on the distribu-
ton and support of the Hoover food
pledge cards, and in instructive talk
on the prevention of hog cholera has
been given by the emergency food
agent.
Whenever locality is visited where
there is no local defense organization
a council is Immediately organized.
AS a result every township in the
county will soon have local defense
body at work in cooperation with the
Dunn county council of defense.
