Coal Habor Takes
The Small End

Well, it happened. that's all any
body can say. But the Coal Harbor
basketball town. team can't under
stand it at all. They did not know
when they sent out that challenge 70
the world at large. that Washburn had
a basket ball team that could put up
good fight. But they found IL out
Thursday evening Of last week, when
three cars Of fellows. including the
team went to Coal Harbor, and played
the town team there. g.
Washburn corralled some Of It's ola
time players couple Of times and
had them down at the hall where they
limbered up stin joints and got famji-
ar with the feel Of basket, BAN.
These fellows we're no other than Rob
by Robinson. A. G. star in former
years, who led his team to victory.
Archie Nygaard is very handy with
the ball, as was shown In the game.
and who it is understood, kept IN
shane during the war by playing ball
en- board battle ship, when he
wasn't chasing German fnts. And
then there is that big tall Dick Ever
son. who Mays center, who pot hfa
early training at the A. c., and vhp
now, after an evening or two Of prac-
tice, can lean over and put the ball In
the basket without half trying. Arch
ie Fahlgren is Al when 1t comes to
guarding, it's just in him. that's M
and AL Peterson is no slouch either
when 1t comes to playing basket
ball. These fellows made up the
team that took the game away from
Goa, Harbor in the last two minutes
of play. or course they had some
stitutes, who could have filled in
most any place and would have
looked IKE a regular, from the way
they would have played. These fell
lows were Elmer Fahlgren and Jake
SchHchenamyer.
The game itself, we'll you would
have to have seen it to get the ben
eft of the way the team played. Thd
few rooters who reported the game
say it was clean from beginning to
end. No dirty playing. no petty
scraps or disagreements, that 60 WITH

The first half ended with a score Of

This looked bad for Washburn, bue
when the second half started the
fellows worked more together and
we're able to cover the lead Of five
points and end the game with two
points to the good. The final scofe
was 81 to 20 in favor Of Washburn. :.

the Frost King will not be delayed.
Jack Frost, our ruddy autumn visitor
has been warning us with his infinite
ssraceries upon pane and tree-trunk
that winter is surely coming. Now
winter is here. .:s.
Does cold weather terrify you? It
does most people until they learn how
to meet 1t. All over America people
are learning how to enjoy winter.

Washburn is most happily situated
for all winter sports. We hare hills,
rivers and lakes. woods and walks.

joyment Of these natural resources

The logical organization would be

and each chairman to supervise par

ting, sleigh riding and hiking, could
each be supervised BY experts, Each
:of. these sports would claim number
ssof enthusiastic followers. 81,
Coasting has never been developed
as much as It might be. We have g

CLERK MEANT TO GET EVEN
OF Course Congregation Could Get
Away, But He Had the Minister
in Tight Place.

There was bad blood between the
parish clerk and the minister of GER
tain country church. Neither of them
ever missed a chance of getting bit
of his own back.
One Sunday the clerk had special
invitation out to church with friend
after the evening service, whereupon
he asked the minister if he would
mind keeping his sermon short.
1t was too good a chance to miss.
The minister took a few deep breaths,
and preached for one hour and a quar-
ter by the clock.
Bv this time the old clerks wrath
was at boiling point. He hardly watt
ed for the preacher to resume his
seat before springing up and announce
ing loudly
psalm one hundred and nineteen.
Fro end t. end. He's preached all
evening, and We'll sing all neet!-

NTECKWEAR is a broad term that
~ embraces many different kinds of
neckpieces and matched sets-includ-
ing vestees and cuffs. Up to the pres
ent time nothing new or unusual has
made its appearance in the realm OF
neckwear, but we may look for new
developments soon, as the holidays
dawn over the horizon of fashion. 1t
is impossible to predict how impor-
tant these particular accessories may
become.
At present organdie, in white and
light colors, or lace and net, continue
to make the dainty collar and vestee
or collar and cuff sets that enjoy an
undated popularity. These sets are
displayed with the new suits and very
often ecru or tan organdie replaces
the pure white or light colors that
have embelished summer clothes.
Filet lace and the perennial wal" still
hold first place, although other laces
are gaining attention. These neck
pieces tone up frocks and suits amaz-
lngly-it Is not likely women will part
with anything so becoming unless they
cnn replace 1t with another they like
as well.
Many sets are made Mt home, as
the manufacturers have placed band
ings of orgundie which make the wGk
easy. among the ready-made pieces.
These landings are tucked or lace
trimmed and come in pale colors and
white. One may buy also net with
tucks, ruffs, lace insertions and edg-
lngs which are easily made up into
lechwear.
