LOCALS WIN OPENING GAME
Brooten Town Team Defeated at
Basket Ball by Sank Centre High
Friday Night.

The basket ball season was ushered
in. by the local high school with
hard fought victory over the town
team of Brooten. Both teams showed
signs of lack of condition but the
game was fairly fast and clearly
contested. Brooten shot the first
basket in less than minute Of play,
but this lead was. quickly offset and
from then on Sank Centre was not
headed. The half ended 12-9 and
the game 1918.
While the game was not kid glove
affairs, it was entirely devoid OF any
intentionally rough. work, the Brooten
boys playing a fast open floor work
game that at times seemed to be-
wilder the local boys. Lack of con-
dition and inability to connect with
the basket soon told the story.
The feature play of the evening
was Gamradt's donation Of a basket
to the Brooten boys, It did not ser
iously affect the result of the game
but had the score been close, II
would have been disastrous.
This week the team is scheduled
For a game with St. Johns Collegs
at Collegeville, and while defeat j!
certain, it is expected the practict
will be valuable. The following weel

Ed,uin Hall, Member of
Famous Many BandIs
y Visiting Folds at Home

CUWlH I1dll, IduhulS do OCCOllO
Glass Musician, which is equal to that
of Sergeant, arrived Saturday noon
from the Great Lakes Training Sta
ton and is enjoying his IL day fur
Tough here with his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. James Hall. Mr.. Hall, who has
not been in Sank Centre for several
years, is nevertheless, Familiarity
known. He enlisted from Devils Lake
at the outbreak .of the war and is now
playing the tuba with Sousa's band.
His only regret, he insists, is that he
did not enlist when he was 16.
The band with which he plays has
400 members. AS all know it is under
the leadership Of the most famous
musician in the United States, John
Phillip Sousa, who at the age Of &C
years, drills this huge band daily and
at every parade marches at it's head.
He is idoized by his -boys" who wer
their hardest for him. It is hoped tc
bring the force up to 700 man
strength. Floyd Norgen, of Sauk
Centre is also playing with them and
Dewey Zettel, Of the Herald office,
and an expert cornetst, hopes to be
added to their number. The band
plays on every patriotic occasion and
is used especially for raising money
for the Y. M. c. A. and the Red
Cross. 1t is also used during Liberty

seemed to be nothing like a little
music to make people come across. A
flag is carried behind the band and
people throw money into it. 1t is a
mere matter to measure out bushel
or so of silver and bills afterwards
The band is divided into smaller
bands and sent to number of cities
on different occasions. Mr.. Hall spoke
of going through Iowa recently to
arouse. little enthusiasm as that
state waM behind on the Liberty Loan
At these times the small band is in
charge of the band master, who has
about the rank of captain. During
the winter the band expects to &c
west. In this way the men, not only
see a great deal of country but are
doing a wonderful bit in addition
They do not expect to see duty in
France for sometime, but are taking
First Aid, in case they should be ord.
cred across. There is no drill con.
nected with this department, except
ing rehearsals each morning. Mr.. Hal
| said the work had it's ups and downs
as everything has, but that it was
mostly cups" to him. He also spoke
| of playing the men "out" who have
been ordered to sea. He mentioned
playing Matt Meyers, Russell Littele

Mr.. Hall wished to thank the Ret
Cross for their kindness to him il
sending the package and also wishes
to express gratitude in behalf of tn
other boys who had also been re
membered. He said words could no
express how much these comfort
were needed and appreciated.

'.Dick Eddy" in Far
OfFrance Appreciates
Sank Centre Red Cross

A letter of thanks to the Red
Cross arrived this week from Richard
Eddy. who is located with the. 18th
Regiment Railway Engineers in
France. The letter follows:
November 18.
To the Red Cross Society,"
Letter writing, yes with certain ex-
ceptions, is the bugaboo of an en-
listed mans existence. Our ink in
trudes to beat the band upon our
leisure time and friend censor will
allow US to write only about our
health and the weather. My health
is all. one could wish for and if at
tempted to describe the weather l
would be guilty of language unbecom-
ing to a soldier and gentleman.
However I take particular pleasure
in writing this letter of thanks for
the box l recently received. 1t ar
rived in perfect condition. l could not
have ordered any articles better suit
ed, to add to my comfort and pleasure
than the ones you sent. / heartily
thank you and assure you 1 will be
Indebted to the Sank Centr, Red
Cross long after these comforts are
worn out.
I have been for long time labor
ing under the delusion that l under
stood the extent of the Red Cross ac-
tivities. A few days ago l had the
privilege to hear man lecture upon
the civil work of the society. His
talk was a revelation to me. The Red
Cross is helping all the people whose
former homes are now on the battle
fields, all the people who have been
driven from their homes by the prox-
unity of the big shell fire, all the old
people who have lost those they were
dependent upon for support, and all
the poor orphans. The society is
working in conjunction with The
French government to supply thes1
food, clothing and the best of medica
attention. It is large undertaking
but great and merciful work. They
are given a great deal Of intelligent
hard, volunteer work and spending big
.lms of money. Every ore of Il:
after hearing his talk all was proud o.
our American Red Cross and sincerel!
and eonfdentialy hoped this supper
would continue till their task is com
pleted.

increase.
The brunt of the winters war work
is for the Red Cross to bear. The
relief for the families Of the French
soldiers is almost as important as
that Of taking care of the soldiers
themselves. Although it is true that
an average of eight van loads Of Red
Cross supplies arrives at the Mime
apolis headquarters alone each day,
one has to remember also, the pro-
portions of the army and navy G.
fighting men that must he cared for
and the other army of the sick and
wounded, to say nothing of the needy
families, the tuberculosis fight and
castastrophies like that of Halifax are
continually commanding the attention
of this merciful organization.
At this meeting a letter of apprec-
iation from Edward Rezenschek for
the supplies sent him, was read. A
large number of communications ex-
pressing thanks have been received,
most of which have been published.
A big Red Cross membership drive
