FOOTBALL OPENS
AGAIN AT LUTHER
First Inter-COllegiate Game in
Twenty-Ihree Years Will Take
Place Here Next Saturday
With Canpion Col
lege
GAME CALLED AT 2:3O
ADMISSION .5C
Coach Jewell Has Il Powerful Ma
chine at Luther This Season and
Will be Most Formidable
Opponents

After twenty-three years absence
from Decoran, intercollegiate foot
ball will again make its bow before
football fans. Looking through the
records we find that Luther played
games in 1895. In these days Dr.. O.
L. Olson, B. X. Sayre, Z. Bothne and
Ornvoll were among the notables.
To quote from the annals: "In 1895
intercollegiate football was for
several seasons abandoned at Luther
College Glass games, and games be-
tween picked teams have to a GER
tain extent taken the place of in
ter-collegiate contests"
When permission was given this
year to play intercollegiate contests
a committee became busy and SCOUT
ed the country for a coach. But their
search was like the man who sold
his farm to hunt for Acres of Dia-
monds" OF which he had heard
After travelling around the world
he came back a beggar and found
that the land he had owned was
literally "acres of diamonds" The
best coach was found at home
Mr.. Walter Jewell, star of Decorah
high school team, and member oe
the Iowa University team.
The Luther team has, under his
tutorage, formed itself into a power
full machine, which is willing to tack
le any opponent. The line will aver
age about 1So pounds, while the
oackfeld averaging IT'S, is fast anu
furious, both in offense and defense.
Contrary to custom big game
has been scheduled for the. opening
attraction. Campion College have al
ways furnished worthy opposition
for Luther in all athletic contests,
and this year promises to be no ex-
ception. Therefore an admission
price of rs cents must be charged.
When one takes into consideration
that the visiting team must carry
nearly 20 men, We believe that the
fans will not complain on the price
OF admission.
The game is to be called at $3.50.
p. m. next Saturday on the Luther
College grounds.

Before a crowded house the night
