PAVE R0Y'LTON ROAD
COMMISSIONERS TAKE STEPS TO
HARD SURFACE SOUTH
ROAD

A hard-surfaced road between Little
Falls and Royalton will be a reality
this summer, action to bring this about
having been commenced by the county
commissioners at their monthly meet
ing Tuesday.
Recently the attention of the COM
missioners was called to the fact that
$l75,OOO federal aid for road. work
would be given to some other county
unless this county availed itself of
the chance to get same at once. This
aid was granted on condition that it be
spent on the proposed system of trunk
highways, and the state road between
Little Falls and Royalton was specified.
The members of the county board went
to st. Paul last week and had a con-
ference with State Highway Commits
sioner Babcock regarding the matter.
The state road between Little Falls
and Royalton was changed last year by
the highway commissioner, in order to
shorten the distance, straighten out the
road and eliminate rail So crossings.
AS designated by him i, rl.:s parallel
with the n. p. tracks Oh the east side
of the tracks. There is no road there
at present but as soon as it is possible
work of grading the road will be begun.
The road will then be hard surfaced.
The county is now we'll equipped with
machinery for proceeding with the pre-
paratory work, having tractor, dump
wagons, motor trucks, graders, etc. At
the meeting Tuesday new stone crush
er, 12-foot grader and an elevating
grader were purchased.
When the strip between Little Falls
and Royalton is paved motorists will be
able to travel almost all the way to
the twin cities on paved roads.

BASKETBALL TONIGHT
LOCALS TO CLASH WITH STAPLES
QU1NT AT HIGH SCHOOL
GYM


Tonight the local high school basket
ball quint plays a game at home, being
slated to meet the Staples high quint
at the high school gymnasium. The in
terest in basketball seems very great
here this year and good attendance is
looked for tonight if the weather is
at all favorable.
Little Falls does not anticipate a
hard battle with the railroaders but as
very little has been learned as to the
merits Of the Staples five it would
hardly be safe to venture prediction
as to the outcome. The locals are in
fine trim and intend to make this vic
tory No. S.
Next week the locals play Aitkin
high here.

according to communication received
by w. E. Olson, secretary of the board

Mr.. Olson recently sent in $500 as
part of the funds raised in Morrison
county in the Salvation Army drive and
with his remittance he enclosed a
pamphlet describing Little Falls. In
the letter acknowledging receipt of the
remittance, the Minneapolis man adds
the following:
"We are pleased with the little
pamphlet you sent us regarding your
enterprising city. We note that you
have population Of 1900 and we shall
be very pleased to consider opening a
corps if you could tell of suitable
store which could be used for a hall
and rooms suitable for the use Of two
or three officers we should send for this
work. A line from you would be es-
tee1hed great favor.

Big Games Next Year
(By Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 27.-Indian-
apolis will see two of the biggest ath-
1etic events of the season on Oct. 20.
1921, when Indiana university and
Notre Dame meet in their annual foot
ball game at Washington park, and
Wabash and Butler play at Irwin
Field.
Since Purdue will have finished its
1921 chance at Notre Dame on Oct. Is.
the Indiana Notre Dame game will
probably be the contest to decide the
state football title which Notre Dame
now holds.
Butler and Wabash appear to be two
promising colleges in a football way.
Wabash confident of unusual strength,
has arranged for a heavy schedule in
Guiding a game with the Army. But
ler's rise this last season under the
miracle man. Pat Page, was the sensa-
ton of Hoosier college football and
since but three scrubs will be lost by
graduation and the varsity will be in
tact, Butler has high hopes. Besides
the traditional games with Earlham,
Franklin and Rose Poly Butler is plan
ming to bring Wittenberg, secondary
champions of Ohio, for return game.
There are also reports that Page is
scouting for game with big eastern
team and some eleven of Big Ten cali
Der in the west. Butler will have nine
games, seven of which will be at home.

FAST INDEPENDENTS
OPPONENTS OF.LECION

Wednesday night the American Leg
ion basketball team will stack up
against the Merchants Heat and Light
team from Indianapolis on the Coli
scum floor. The Capital City five is
slated as being one of the fastest az
gregations on the Independent card
this year.
The local team, under the guidance
Of Captain Mcbride and Manager
O'Neil is putting in some hard prac-
tees trying to get in the best condi-
tion possible for the contest. The
game should draw the heaviest OF any
Independent game this year and the
future of the American Legion games
will depend lot on the showing made
against this team.
Music will be furnished by the
American Legion band under the direc-
ton of Professor Maddy. This has
become one of the attractions of the
Independent games.
The Legion lineup probably will be
composed of O'Neile and Porter, for
wards; Simmons, center; Mcbride and
Bertsch, guards. This is the samo
team that started the game against
Muncie two weeks ago which resulted
in an easy victory for the locals. All
of these men are experienced on the
basket court and will put UP a good
game against any team. They will have
to work to their limit to bring the long
end of the score along with them

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi. Dec "a
Minnesotas disastrous 1920 football

of .S15.
In that~time Minnesota scored 4,601
points to her opponents 693, and in
one year, 1904, her seasons county
was 727 to her opponents II. That
year the ophers counted 146 points in
game with Grinnell Uowa) college
which was held scoreless. This is
the Gopher high water mark for a
single game in 81 years.
Up to 1920, only four teams had
scored more than 20 points on a Co
Dher eleven, and the worst beating
Minnesota ever received was at the
hands of Chicago. in 1908, when the
final count was % to 0. No other

HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS
TO WORK IN HOLIDAYS
TO SECURE TEAMWORK

High school net men will not take
vacation during the holidays but
will work out on the Y. M. C. A. floor
several afternoons during the week.
Harold Taggart will have charge of
the basketball men during the vaca-
ton in the absence of Coach Null.
The next game for the locals is that
with Muncie at Muncie on Jan. z. This
game promises to be good contest
with the local school standing a good
chance to bring the Magic City scalp
back with them. The fast rate at
which the team has been travelling
since they DOTTED the moleskins indi.
Gates that they will have very cred
table team before the season ends.
The high school team this year is
considerably better than the Red and
White representatives Of last season.
The best indications are that they
work together in real team fashion.
Fl This is bound to make them formid-
able opponent for any squad they go
up against.
Have Fighting Spirit.
The great essentials of basketball
tSohi di opCCo, CiAuu ohSO, oSSAi eASy
of eye and fighting spirit that never
knows how to give up. These things
are being drilled into the Red and
y White at all times by the high mentor.
Size does not generally enter into the
consideration If quintet is made up
70 men equipped with the other
essentials.
No game requires more endurance
than basketball and few as much.
Players are at it at all times without
check. and at top speed for two TWEEN
ty-minute periods. Training for bas-
kctball is, therefore. very interesting
and important subject.
Are Training Now.
It is known that many of the mem
bers of the football team did not stick
to rigid training. but indications are
that every member of the high school
net squad will do his best to put him
self in the best condition possible for
the net schedule that is facing him
this season.
The high school is getting behind
their team in great shape after the
showing they have made against the
two opponents met thus far this sea
son. Although they were defeated by
the Shelbyville representatives the
fine defensive game played shows that
they have the ability to develop into
one Of the strong representative teams
OF the Richmond high school.
