; The Alexandria-Sauk Centre game
here last Friday night was big dis
appointment, chiefly because Alexan-
dria had one man, Cassel, who was re-
ally a star and the local team laid
down and let him, with the aid of a
big noise, in the shape of the rest of
the team, take away the champion
ship chances of Sank Centre. A great
many people, including the Herald
are inclined to believe that the major
ity of players were "out of luck" and
are trifle less relentless on that &C
count. Perhaps a little judicious
shifting of the members would i'm
prove the team work and kill the indi-
} vidual playing which was so much in
evidence. The game was bunchy and
rough, with little excitement until the
last half and during the tie. The
close score, 21-23, appears to deny the
account of the game, but does not do
in any way. The Herald refuses to
believe, however, that the boys are not
walked up now and will not redeem
themselves in the remaining games.
The following clipping from the
Harlem News, Harlem, Mont, with
reference to Miss Marguerite Collins
will be of interest to those who knew
the family when they lived near Sank
Centre: According to news item
clipped from one of the daily papers,
Miss Marguerite Collins, one of Blaine
county's best school teachers, who
of late taught school at Zurich and
Pleasant Valley, has been awarded
the Columbia Literary Prize. She is
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos.
Collins, who until year ago, lived on
a homestead on the Big Flat near
Turner. They also lived in Harlem
for time. The Columbia Prize, which
includes scholarship at Columbia
University, was offered last year for
distinctly new type of fiction and its
award was of nationwide interest.
The stories in the winning series have
been appearing under a "nom de
plume" in Everybodys' Magazine dur
in the past year or so and are so clev-
erly written as to stand in class by
themselves. Judging from her initial
success, Montana may expect great
things from Miss Collins in the future.
The Columbia College Alumnae have
selected her as their guest of honor
