EAGLE DRIVES
AIRMAN DOWN
Swiss Aviator Is Forced to Descend
From Aerial Heights When
Large Bird Annoys Him
Considerably.

A Swiss aviator has recently been
in combat with another bird of pas
saga large and powerful eagle
The bird evidently resented pretty
strongly the aeronaut's entry into his
domain. for he gave chase and an
royed him for some considerable
time Eventually the airman was
forced to descend, owing to the bird S
persistency.
Before landing, however, he took
every possible means to rid himself
of his torn entor, says writer in
London Answers. He looped the
loop, nose dived, righted the ma
chine again, completed series of
circles, but all to no avail. The eagle
had him every time. This incident
occurred some 5000 feet above st.
Moritz and created quite a stir.
That birds and insects take more
than passing interest in the strides
man has made in the flying world
is described by French naturalist
and airman. During the war he was
in charge Of captive balloon, and
says that the numbers of birds and
insects attracted to his aerial craft
were enormous. They not only came
to look, but to stay, and he was thus
able to get many rare specimens.

What is the proper definition of a
weekend? Is it Saturday noon to
Sunday night? or would you say FRI
day evening till Monday noon? It
all depends on who stages the party.
One weekend party came to an un-
timely close on it's first night, Friday,
all because of an unprecedented kiss.
Things didn't run along smoothly for
the man after that, and Dame Gossip
got busy AS a result a harmless
looking fortune-hunter almost saved
the girls family reputation by marry
ing her himself.
When it came to choice of which
to take, the man she loved-but alas!
that one had forgotten the proper
peliminaries to kiss, and was now
in disgrace-or the one she didn't
love but whom it would not hurt her
pride to accept-but I'm not going to

Victory.

to Way to Beat the Wis
itors.

A goal from the field in the third
period of Saturdays game between
the second teams Of Keokuk high and
Fort Madison high, won the game for
the visitors, 10 to Z. The local team
fought hard and fast against a
heavier and more experienced team,
and their playing at times was spec
tacular The field goal followed on
the heels of a dispute over the play.
A Fort Madison man fumbled the
ball on the Keokuk twenty yard line,
and a keokuk end recovered it. The
referee ruled, however, that the Fort
Madison back was down at the time
Of the tumble and he awarded the
ball to the visitors. Park, on the
next play booted the ball over the
bars for the three points.
OdeH's sprint of fifty yards, and
Schilling's goal after the touchdown
tied the score in the third period.
Glaha of Fort, Madison, making a
twenty yard gain through the Keo-
kuk line for a touchdown and kick
ing goal. The touchdown followed a
series of long gains through the line
and on lateral passes back of the
scrimmage line.
Keokuk seconds evened matters up
by starting in at the kickoff and gain
ing by end runs until in midfeld.
Odell received pass from Schilling
and sprinted through the Madison de-
Tense for a touchdown. The score
was then seven all. In the first half
Odell broke loose for a forty yard
run. but was downed. Had he been
able to get away better he would
have made touchdown then as he
! had practically the same chance as

| The locals were in serious trouble
only twice in the first half, once
when Schilling had to kick from be-
! hind his own goal and another time
when Madison was tearing up the
line for several long gains The kick
of Schilling's behind his own line re-
suited in a touchback

thirty yard line, but the ball went
wide. Forward passes were tried
successfully by both teams, although
