sions of Minnesota-Wisconsin
Football Game.
Dear Advertiser:

Lear AQVeTClSeT. ~
The north and west are great
places for sports of all kinds. think
the bracing climate and crisp air
are responsible for this physical viig-
or. The people here were surprised
that I witnessed my first football
game here in Aurora several weeks
ago. fs. e.
The sport page of the papers have
always been closed book to me, SO
to speak. I tolerated them for the
information that l found on the 9TH
er side. In an article for the High
School paper the other day 1 stated
that | would willingly substitute the
waffle iron for the gridiron. was
not quite sure of the spelling of the
term gridiron, so / asked a little
seventh grade boy, who knew all
about that subject, and he told me,
wondering / suppose, how /. could be
SO ignorant, being a teacher.
have learned to have great re-
spect for the game, because Of the
admiration for it by many RESPONSE
BILE people, but I have dark sus-
picion that it can be comprehended
only by. the. all-knowing masculine
mind, so attend the game, look
wise, and say nothing, assuming me-
chanically pleased expression when
| hear shouts of victory, for the side
in which / am interested. and lapse
back into dull state of non-compre-
hension when there are no shouts.
Such is the way Of the feminine
mind.
There are some things that we at
tend because other people do, and
we think as matter of course that
we. must enjoy them, too. 1t was
some such motive that led be through
the tall gates OF the Minnesota Uni
versity grounds the other day at
Minneapolis to attend the football
game between the Universities Of
Minnesota and Wisconsin. There is
something about seated crowd that
is inspiring, and like to be in the
midst of one. / am convinced that
the audience is quite half of the .ocs
casion, for were there no shouts Of
victory there would be. much less
pleasure in playing. ~ .5 e:
The cheer lead erss seemeds like 5cori,|

yells. I thought that I did well just
to remember which were the Wis
consin and which the Minnesota
boys. At the conclusion of the game
1 felt as detected as the rest when
Wisconsin won, though had Wiscon-
sin been one of my neighboring
Southern States / would have stood
up for her against all the friends of
Minnesota.
The game ended abruptly when l
thought the fight at its height, and
by us passed little boys, girls, grown
ups, students and people of all ages,
young again and living over their
own youthful days. We left the
crowd back in Minneapolis and sped
back to st. Paul for more quiet
time at the theatre.

Chrysanthemum Association
to be Revived.

At the last meeting of the Civic
League on the suggestion of Mrs. w.
B. Cogburn, who was largely instru-
mental in making this undertaking
a success some years ago, the Civic
League decided to begin the associa-
ton again and everybody is asked
to begin thinking and planning for
an exhibit next fall. This is splendid
idea and no doubt will be followed
with enthusiasm. The money for this
will be used in keeping up our town
cemeteries.
