On to La Crosse
Thanksgiving Day

The Normal football team W s
given a respite from regular daily
practice on Monday and the players
were idle for the first time this sea-
son. Tuesday afternoon c. c h S
Hayward and Swenson started the
men on the final grind for the game
with La Crosse for the state cham
pionship on Thanksgiving day. With
this final game over two weeks dis
tant the local coaches have a real
job on their hands. 1t is no small
matter to keep a team in condition
during an ordinary season, and the
present schedule calls for a game
long after the m jority of the
schools and colleges have forsaken
the gridiron. Followers of the local
team declare, however, that River
Falls has never reached it's pinnacle
OF power and drive; that the coach
es have brought the team along
slowly in order to have the men in
condition for the finals and h a t
Capt. Finn and his men will be in
the pink of condition when the team
faces La Crosse on Turkey Day."

He was born in southern Aurdal,
Norway, on the estate of Lien, Sept.

er Falls as an expert in the nipple
ment line, employed by the Fuller

six months he was joined by his fam
lily. Mr.. Lein built up a substantial
implement business here, retiring
from the same IL years ago and

vived by five daughters, Mrs. Alonzo
Shafer of Brooklyn, N. Y, Mrs. B.
c. Nelson of Fargo, N. D., and Mrs.
N. C. Nelson, Miss Rachel and Miss
Marie of River Falls. Two sons,
Martin Emil and Theodore, died in

Local restaurants and hotels are
falling in line with the "wheatless
and meatless day" movement. This
week Colonel McKinnon of the Glad

cry week. Nelson Bros. restaurant
is following the movement. also.
Fish was the piece resistance on

Howard Quintette
Plays For Y. NC. A.

The Howard Quintet had t h e
most wonderful of its audiences at
Camp Funston, Kansas, on Sunday,

of playing to one Of the Y. M. G. A.

dentists who are in training there.
The auditorium was packed Mr..
Howard donated the concert to the
cause, which by the way is what all
big musicians, lecturers and enter
tainers are doing today. Schuman
Heink sang there on Saturday. The
men appreciated it immensely. They
showed it by their courteous manner
and excellent attention. At the close
of the concert many Of the fellows
crowded t h platform to extend
thanks to the Quintet. w h / at
Camp Funston, the Towards were
entertained at Y. M. c. A. head
quarters.

Seed Corn Will
Be in Demand

When the early frost in September
killed the corn and rendered most OF
it unfit for seed it was evident that
the seed situation in the county
would be serious in the spring. The
County Council of defense sought to
remedy the condition as far as posi-
BILE. The secretary made tour OF a
large part of the county IN order
that all possible sources of seed could
be investigated and listed. Where
seed was found that was matured
farmers were urged to select more
seed than they needed. The follow
ino is the list of farmers having seed
corn for sale. Those needing seed
are urged to engage their supply as
soon as possible since there is de-
mand for corn throughout the entire
Northwest.

Gals were forced to call time before
the frenzied rooters would return to
the sidelines.
The final quarter opened with the
Falls stronger than ever. The ball
was steadily advanced toward the
Point goal and Gregor shot over
but fumbled. The ball was brought
out to the 20 yard line and given to
Stevens Point. Instead of kicking
out of danger the quarterback call
ed for four tries at the line and fail
ed to make first down. This error
in judgement gave the red and
white team their opportunity and
they Immediately took advantage of
it Fessenbecker was given the ball
on an off-tackle play, saw the oppos-
sing backs rush in to spill the play
and then dashed through an opening
and around the end for touchdown.
Allard kicked goal and the score was
Z to 3 in favor of River Falls.
The Haywardites had all the bet
ter of the argument during the re-
naming minutes of play but failed
to count. The final score was River
Falls 7, Stevens Point 3.
The reason for the amazing show
ing eff the Point became generally
known after the game. Coach Cat
lin of Lawrence University had been
putting the team through a strenu-
Gus week Of secret practice and the
result was a finished eleven that
gave River Falls the greatest scare
in many seasons. Although the Point
never was inside the River Falls 80
yard line they certainly put up
great game.
The coach of the La Crosse Nor
NAL team was an interested specta-
tor and it is reported that he was
busy jotting down the Points plays.
He will have to rely on his think
tank for Coach Hayward's supply
of foolers for he picked the wrong
team to win.

NORMAL WINS
NORTHERN TITLE
River Falls Defeats Stevens Point z to 3
in Sensational Game--Fessenbecker
Scores Winning Touchdown

Coach Hayward's squad of husky
Normalites returned Saturday from
Stevens Point with the Interior
NAL School championship of the Nor
thern half of the state safely tucked
away. In spite of the startling fact
that the locals didn't tuck said cham
pionship away until the last few mi
nutes of Fridays mixup with the
Pointers, the belt is ours alright, al
right, and now it's on to La Crosse
for the state title Thanksgiving Day.
The River Falls contingent left on
Thursday and as the game was not
expected to prove a particularly
hard one only four substitutes were
taken along. Stevens Point had play
ed Z to Z tie with Superior, team
the Falls had no trouble in beating,
and, although the local team did not
expect easy picking they did look for
a game with things more or less
their own way.
Imagine the surprise of Captain
Finn and his teammates when the
Point started out like house afre,
successfully spilIing the River Falls
shift plays'and giving the red jersey
ed players all they could do to hold
their own. When the first half end
ed 0 to 0 a sadder and a wiser group
of canvas clad youths sat in the club
house while Coach Hayward and
Coach Swenson endeavored to instill
more fight into the team. With Cap
Finn injured and Vezina also on the
sidelines with a twisted knee the To-
Gals were left with but two extra
men.
The second half was a whirlwind
affair with neither team able to gain
much ground. Toward the end of the
third quarter the Point secured the
ball on River Falls 80 yard line and
the quarterback scored a drop kick
that gave his team a to 0 lead. The
Point followers went wild with JOY
and poured on the field. The Off

WHAT The SOLDIERS SAY
ABOUT THE Y. Nj. C. A.

Stanley R. Morse, who was for
merly editor of the River Falls Jour
nal and who is now at Camp Grant,
says, 1--WE note that you are soon to
be called upon to donate to the Y.
NJ. G. A. army work. Good people,
it is a worthy appeal IT there ever
was one. AS one of our own re-
cruits so truthfully put it, the army
Y. NJ. C. A. is Treasure Island IN
sea of gloom No matter what ma
tionality, sect or creed, the Y. M. L.
A. corps is always on the job to
help. On training grounds and on
battle fields the encircled triangle
of the Y. is ever promi 1ent. 1t
means d-physical as well as splr-
itual. Their lectures inspire the
bows to cleanliness, of morals as
we'll as bodies, and their talks are
so de .ivered as to make deep i'm
preston At the Y. station is fur
nished about the only opportunity
the boys have for securing writing
material, stamps, money orders,
etc., and desk, ink and pens are
provided. A library containing a
choice collection of good books is
always accessible; high class enter
tainments of all kinds are given IN
the Y. halls each evening; these and
a thousand other forms of valuable
service are included in the work
Your donation will aid in the effect
iveness of this great work.
Monroe Erickson, formerly of
River Falls, now at Fort Ogel-
thorpe, Ca, says, without our Y.
assure you it would be we'll nigh
unbearable for persons from real
civilization to remain here. Here
we gather each evening from $50 or
SO, to lights out, and spend our
time writing, reading, playing
games or listening to lectures.
have now the thirty-five million dol
lar fund in mind that is being rails
ed, and l must say if any OF you
were here tonight or any other
night, to see and hear what's going
on. YOU would not be slackers IN the
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1917-11-15

respect of helping out the associa-
ton"
William Wells, formerly student
of the River Falls Normal, now at
Camp Grant, says among other
things, THE Y. M. c. A. is doing
great work in educating the men
along the lines of personal hygiene.
Young men who are we'll educated
and who have become we'll estab-
lished in the right walk Of life, are
spending their time working with
the soldier boys. 1t certainly helps
to put the joy in life for rs boys,
and if citizens want cleaner and
more wholesome and comfortable
camp for their boys, they are sure
helping 10 make it more that way
when they contribute to the Y. M.
C.. A."
Lieut.. A. C. Doneen. who is a
graduate of the River Falls Normal
school, whose parents live at Ham
mond, Wis, and who is now at
Camp Custer, Michigan, says, In
stead of giving your boy dime to
see the movies, or dollar to attend
the dance, give it to the Y or the
K. C. club, and they guarantee good
pictures, music and lectures. :, :
The Y. M. C. A. has organized
classes in various places, and pro-
vides books and instructions with
out cost to the men. | have been
selected to supervise the work for
our regiment, and in two other regi-
ments Catholic priests are looking
after it. SO you see we are all work
ing hand in hand, doing everything
for the men, knowing that by as
sisting them, we aid the cause our
country is fighting for.'
The workers in this county for the
Y. M. G. A. fund started activities
Monday, November 18th. If they
have not already visited you, they
will before the campaign is over.
Can anyone after reading the above
refuse or neglect to do his bit to-
ward this work?
