THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

River Falls and Oshkosh will play
here Saturday, on Ramer Field for
the State Normal School champion
ship of 1920. The game will be called
at 2:30 p. m.
Season tickets will not be good for
this game-the admission will be
rs cents.
Neither of these teams have been
scored in this season, and both are
particularly strong in defensive play.
Oshkosh has 26 to 0 victory over
the La Crosse Normal, while River
Falls won from that team by closer
margin of to 0. It is stated, how
ever, that the La Crosse were pretty
well bruised up as result of the
Milwaukee and River Falls games
and not in first class condition when
they met Oshkosh last week.
An interesting item Of Saturdays
game will be the fact that two New
Richmond boys will appear on the
opposing teams-Otterson, the River
Falls center, and McAndrews, half
back on the Oshkosh team, are both
from the cyclone city.
One half of the grandstand will be
reserved for townspeople Saturday,
the student rooters having the other
half.
This will be the real championship
game, although it is planned to have
a post-season game between Oshkosh
and Stevens Point at Oshkosh perhaps
on Thanksgiving Day.
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1920-11-18

called the game while time was out
for an injured player, and that there
were two minutes left to play. The
article attempts to explain its prejud-
ice against River Falls by stating
that River Falls cancelled its game
against Eau Claire Normal this sea-
son. We have already explained that
there were no two minutess left to
play; that the referee had not called
time out; no player was injured, and
that the game was duly ended; and
Eau Claire cancelled the Eau Claire
River Falls game this season, instead
of visa versa as stated in the Leader.
1t is bad enough that the schools
should have their troubles over ath-
letic relations, but ID is inexcusable
for newspaper to take up the quar-
rel and prolong and inteslfy it by
publishing a lot of false statements.
The Eau Claire Normal athletic
council would display true sports
nnanship by furnishing the Leader
with an article containing the facts
of the case.
The Oshkosh Normal, by defeating
La Crosse last Friday, 26 to 0, won a
clear title in the Southern circuit, and
they will play here Saturday, Nov.
20, for the state championship.
After last Fridays game there
were large number of fistic en-
counters between over-excited fans
from Stout, Eau Claire and River
Falls. The main feature of this part
of the day festivities was the con-
spicuous absence of Menomonie police
or any other sign of vested authority
until all was again quite and the
con.batants had left to apply beef
steak to swollen eyes and to mend
torn raiment.
About three hundred rooters from
River Falls attended the game. A
special train carried most of them,
but in spite of the cold, some 20 or 30
drove down in autos.

Close Successful
Foot Ball Season

The River Falls High school foot
ball squad closed successful season
when it sent Ellsworth down to a 81
to 0 defeat at Ellsworth last Satur-
day.
1t was the second time this fall
that the local squad defeated ELS
worth, the score the first time being
sd to 0. Ellsworth has improved
wonderfully but still are no match for
our boys.
The score at the end of the first
garter was 81 to O. Dawson, star left
tackle on the local squad, suffered
a severe cut over his left eye early in
the second half and had to be taken
from the game. Altho McKinnon,
who replaced him, played well, the
team was materially weakened by
Dawson's absence.
The locals We're never forced to
exert themselves and had they not
been content to take things easy
they would have piled up an enormous
score.
The Thursday previous to the Ellis
worth game the local squad defeated
the high school gridiron warriors of
Hastings, Mimi, on the local field 33
to z, and the game was called at the
beginning of the fourth quarter, just
as our boys were hitting their old
stride.
Red Wing, Mimi, only defeated
Hastings "a to in a full time game
and Red Wing claims the champion
ship of Minnesota. The Hastings
game, therefore, furnishes means
for comparison between Red Wing
and River Falls.
The local lineup for the last two
games follows:
w. Parr-left end,
l.. Dawson-left tackle,
H. Sansburn-left guard,
E. Follansbee--center,
S. Hall--right guard,
X. Healy-right tackle,
C. Brown-right end,
T. Johnson-quarter back,
H. Kent-full back,
L. Malberg-left half,
T. Standish, Capt.)-right half

Farm Loan Meeting

The annual conference of the sec
retary-treaslrers of local Farm Loan
associations of Wisconsin, together
with some of the presidents of local
associations, was held at The st. Paul
Hotel, st. Paul, last Tuesday. The
River Falls Farm Loan association
was represented by it's secretary
treasurer, w. H. Putnam, and its
president, Frank Webster, of Roberts.
A statewide association organiza-
ton was effected, with Otto Won
Schroede of Eau Claire as president.
A full set of officers and an advisory
committee of five members repre-
sent five districts in Wisconsin.
Mn. Putnam states. that the great
need of rural credits was emphasized
in discussion with the officers of the
Land Bank of st. Paul, and facts dis
closed by the last census show that
while the total population of the U. S.
has increased II per cent the farm
population has decreased 8 per cent,
and all towns of $500 or less are
classed as farm communicate
other words the farm population of
the u. S. today, including the villages
and small towns, is only Sd per cent
of the total population.
There are today ,88 Farm Loan as
sociations in operation in Wisconsin
ad the wonderful record which they
have achieved in the world of finance
may well be emulated by other finan-
cial institutions, says Mr.. Putnam.
The system has been in operation for
about three and one-half years and no
foreclosures have been necessary IN
Wisconsin, and no borrower is delin-
auent 80 days. Dividends have been
distributed annually among the bor-
rowers, and the Land Bank of st.
Paul is now earning 18 per cent on
it's capital stock, after paying 6 per
cent on it's stock to the local associa-
ton, surplus and reserve fund OF
several hundred thousand dollars has
been created.
Nearly every farmer in Wisconsin
is entitled to the privileges OF the
Farm Loan system if he desires its
services.

seriously injured in separate accidents

CATHOLICS LAUNCH
s5,O00,O00.00 CAMPAIGN

A campaign for $5,000,000.00 to be
used to carry on and develop the
MANY worthy charities conducted by
the Catholics of this state and to en-
large the Provincial Seminary, is be-
ing organized throughout the state,
according to statement made by
Archbishop Messmer today.
"In the three Dioceses in Wiscon
SIM" said the Archbishop, there are
twenty Catholic institutions of
charitable and educational nature.
Very few of these institutions are
self-supporting; in the majority OF
cases it is monthly struggle to meet
the expenses incurred. Many are
heavily indebted and their normal
revenue is eaten up by the interest
that must be met on this indebted
ness. In other words lack of finances
is strangling their progress
'EThe work of organizing the fifty
odd counties in the three Dioceses has
begun; | pray that every charitably
inclined citizen living in the confines
of this territory will so assist in the
work that when the period fol- the
intensive canvass arrives, the appeal
for FIVE million dollars necessary to
fulfill our cherished desire of promot-
ing Gods work in those charities will
be met promptly by the many gener-
Gus hearts of Wisconsin"

FROM OUR READERS

A subscriber writes to inquire If
there is anything in the old Journal
files to show that people of this vicin-
ity contributed towards the building
of the Statue of Liberty which stands
in New York Harbor, and says that it
may be of interest to our people to
know that many from here did con-
tribute.
The statue itself was paid for by
contributions from the people of
France, but the pedestal upon which
it stands was erected by funds con-
tributed by the people of this country
and in the November issue in 1884,
we find that notice in the River
Falls Journal states that the Sons
of the Revolution had sent out invita-
tions to the public for one dollar
contributions for that fund. The local
contributions were left at the Journal
office.
The statue was presented to the
United States in 1876, but was not
installed upon it's pedestal until 1886,
and its present lighting system,
which Eliminates it from the great
torch was put into operation in 1916.

SEWARD SECRETARY IS
 PEEVED AT COMMISSION

T believe that we should take the bull by the horns, go to the mat and see what is wrong with the present system of the Mears-Gov- ernment railroad" declared Secre- .tary H. E. Ellsworth, of the Seward Chamber of Commerce, in state ment published recently in the Sew ard Gateway.
 "Mears has taken about every thing he could away from Seward and moved it to Anchorage; prom ised to run trains on schedule, and then, when few government men were passengers on steamers, held the trains for their convenience and disconnected scores of real men, those building up the country. Elm ployes have been ordered to do this and that, showing favor to Anchor age, and many other things, includ- ing a higher freight rate from out the line, a few miles, than prevails from Seward to Tacoma by steamer These are only few things re ported as grievances against the present A.
