The YackeI Boys

Wilbur G. and Arno G. Yackel, broth
ers of Postmaster A. j. Yackel OF this
place. have returned to their home at
Redwood Falls, they having both been
honorably discharged from the Y. ,.
Marines in Philadelphia, Pa, Wednes-
day, September 10th. They arrived
home Saturday, September 18th, and
"Billy' was here Monday to visit at
the home of his brother, and TO meet
his many friends.
For seven and one-half months the
bows had been with the marines doing
police duty in the islands of Haiti and
San Domingo. It seems that England
and France in times past had loaned
these turbulant little republics quite
a big sum of money, which they We're
unable to collect, owing to the tact
that the county is infested with rob-
bers and brigands, who do not per-
nit the producers to carry on tnelr
farm work. Not desiring TO see the
foreign countries take possession OF
the Islands to collect their bill, Uncle
Sam stepped in and settled the claims ;
and is now policing the country and
irving to get it back on paying Da-
sis. 50 that he can get his money back,
and also that the republics may es-
tablish stable governments. That's
what the marines are in those repub-
lies for today-to lend the natives a
helping hand. the same as was done
with Cuba. the Philippines and the
Hawaiian Islands.

ments In the main exhibit building

tuition, compensation, etc., and to is
sue the victory buttons. In order to
receive Victory button each man
must have his original discharge pa
pers with him and all local soldiers

tainty OF the Resurrection. Mrs.

Football Is King
At Redwood Falls
FORTY MEN ENTHUSIASTICALLY
PRACTICING FOR PLACE ON
FIRST TEAM

No one Will DOUBT this head1ng Wnen
they know that over forty huskies
turned out for the first football meet
ing, among the number being ten men
who had been on Redwood football
squads before. School started Sep
tember 8, and on the next day these
men were falling on the ball, CATCH
ing passes, punting and getting onto
the old knack of running with the ball.
So far practice has been held on the
grade school grounds but after the
fair, practice will begin at the fair
grounds.
The first weeks work consisted
mainly in getting the linemen TO get
down low enough, and the ''backs" to
hit low and hard, mixed with some
passing and falling on the ball.
On Saturday the boys made dun
my" and it is surely good one. This
gave us another means of practice,
and helped the boys get back their
nerve. Now every man on the squad
can leave the ground ten feet IN front
of the dummy" and pin it down.
Now the boys are on the field by
4:30 and from then until o'clock the
work is divided as follows:
Is min. punting and passing;
Is min. work on the dummy"
80 min. signal practice and new
plays;
Is min. lining up;
Is min. scrimmage;
Twice around the block or up to
Broadway and back.
Facts about first team as it looks
now:
/. Average weight about 165 lbs.
2. Average weight of line about ITO
pounds.
8. Average weight of backfeld 155 lbs.
It is impossible to give the lineup
of the first team at this time because
it is subject to much change before
the first game. Douglas Stewart, a
junior, and veteran of two football
teams at Redwood, is captain. Fred
Melges is manager of the team.
Next comes the schedule. "When
is the first game" is the question
heard on all sides. At present The
plan is to have the first game here
on October a. The schedule this year
is limited as the local team has to
play teams only in the southwestern
part of the state. The University
plans on having champions picked in
different sections. As stated before
Redwood Falls is in the southwestern
section: some of the other teams in
this section are Sleepy Eye, New Ulm.
st. Peter, Renville, Madison, Window,
Granite Falls, Candy Marshall, Lu-
verne and Worthington. Redwood, be-
ing in the northern part of this sec
ton, will schedule games with the
northern teams and the best team in
the north will then play the best team
in the southern part for the cham
pionship Of Southwestern Minnesota
