S. T.C. DEFEATS
M00RHEAD TEAM

At $3.50 Saturday afternoon the
Moorhead teachers College and the
local Teachers College met on the To-
cal gridiron for their annual gridiron
battle Dope had it that the Moor
head team would win from the locals
three to one as the Valley City lineup
was somewhat crippled. With the
odds against them as it was in many
of the basket ball games last winter
when the midget team always gave
the public a show for their money, the
locals went into the game determined
to carry away the scalps of the visi-
tors to whom they had lost for the
past two years. The visitors received
the ball on the kick off and after
battling for some time the ball went
over. This hard fighting continued all
during the first quarter and up until
the last five minutes of the second
quarter when the locals were penal
lied Is yards which brought the ball
within three yards of the locals goal
line. The visitors were in possession
of the ball at this time and were un-
able to penetrate the plucky Valley
line until the last down when line
plunge netted them their first touch
down. They failed to kick goal how
ever and the score stood g to U at the
end of the first half. .,
The second half opened up with
both teams coming back strong. very
little headway was made during the
first quarter of the second half. Both
sides were holding strong with both
uuarterbacks trying to outWlt their
opponents. At the end of the second
Quarter during the second half W.
Bublitz received forward pass on a
split formation which was responsible
for the touchdown which followed aft
err several line plunges and end runs
Gunderson kicked goal which MADE
the score to 6. The game was SAID
by all present to have been one OF the
fastest and best football games play
ed on the local gridiron this season.
This is the game the locals have been
waiting for all season. Saturdays
game was the last game of the season
for the teachers and possibly the last
game that will be witnessed on the
home gridiron this season.
The lineup for Saturdays game was
as follows:
Ends-Kernkamp. ]. Larson.
Guards Nelson, Wallace.
Tackles - Davidson, McCull and
Hanson.
Center-Gunderson
Halfbacks-M. Personius, Bublltz.
Fullback-Anderson
Substitutes-J. Personius and Ty-
void.
Officials McF arland.
Final Score-7 to 6.

They assembled at six
Expecting a feed,
But when they arrived
The cook was in need.
So all put on aprons

The way they prepared it
Was fit for a king.
The Chef was called Dawson,
Who carved at the meat
Whatever he starts
You can look for a treat.
The gravy was stirred

If it isn't rich and brown
Kindly do not blame her,
For she is we'll known
To be a good cook,
AS she has been studying a reel

When he feels in his glory

The little playlet entitled "The
Spirit of Rotary" was excellently
given and revealed the main fea-
lures Of the Rotary Philosophy which
boiled down to one sentence IS:
"Service Above Self"
He took the Rotary ideal, "He pro-
fits most who serves BEST" as the
ideal that now inspires $4,000 busi-
ness men of the world, all of them
leaders in their respective commun-
tiles. He relates incidents of how
business had been built up remark
ably within a very short time through
application of the ideals of Rotary
the Golden Rule in business. toward
employees and toward those with
whom the firm does business.
He declared that all business men
should look upon their business as an
opportunity Of doing service to the
world, not mere money-making ma
chimes, and said that the application
of this theory had shown that it was
entirely practical.
Mr.. Heron was kept busy while at
Valley City. In the forenoon he took
part in the Armistice Day program:

minutes in silent prayer, that beau
