HANCOCK ELEVEN
TO MEET WlLLMAR
First Home Game of Season to Be
Played Next
Saturday

With one victory to it's credit and
bearing the marks of recent drub-
bing received at the hands of Hut
Crimson last Saturday, the Willmar
High School gridiron squad will test
their ability still further next Sat-
urday when it faces Hancock.
The game will be played on the
gridiron opposite to Wellin's Park
which will be the scene of a fast and
interesting battle.
The boys Of the local high are just
a bit more determined to attach a win
next Saturday because of the defeat
delivered to them by the Hutchies.
They have tasted both the satisfaction
of registering a win and also of the
disappointment of succumbing to de-
feat and the boys say they prefer the
sensation of victory to that of defeat.
During the two games played the
coach and the members on the team
have discovered the weak spots and
during this week careful considera-
tion is being given to strengthening
the line and placing of the men in the
best berths.
Last year Hancock met defeat when
Willmar ran away with the game by
score of 40. The duplication of
this score is bright prospect.
The boys will appear in their new
jersey sweaters. The field has been
put into condition for playing and the
goal posts erected. The lineup of
Willmar will not differ materially
from that of last Saturday. The high
school students will be on the field en-
masse and cheer the boys onto their
second success.

PREUS DID NOT
SPEAK AT WlLLMAR
Standpat Speaking Tour ''Balled
Up." Wrong Dates Sent
Ont

The news given in our last issue
that Preus and Collins were to appear
at Willmar Monday night was based
on a bulletin sent to the Tribune
from Republican State Headquarters
Anyone interested may see the same
at our office. That it had been the
intention that Mr.. Preus should have
spoken at Willmar is proven by Sun
days Minneapolis Tribune which sta
ted that "Preus will speak this week
at Redwood Falls, Olivia, Willmar,
Paynesville, Sauk Centre, Long Pra-
irie. ETC." Likely the original inten-
tion had been to have day meetings
at Redwood and Olivia on Monday and
an evening meeting at Willmar, as
the message to the Tribune stated,
but for some reason it was changed
On Tuesday morning, Messrs. Preus
and Collins arrived at Willmar from
Redwood Falls, but no day meeting
had been arranged for them here and
they departed for Sauk Centre for an
evening melting.
