PUNISH" men FOR
WINNING BIG GAME

At the beginning of the chapel per-
iod Tuesday DR.. Allen asserted that it
has been said of the American people
that they lack due regard for law OBJ
servance. He read paragraph, which
appears in another place, on rever-
ence for law which was, written by
Abraham Lincoln.
Last weeks Budget contained an
appeal to the Alumni of V. G. N. to
help increase the amount of money in
the Student Loan Fund. Miss Amidon
read a letter from graduate of the
Class of 1914, who responded prompt
ly and generously to this call. Miss
Amidon said there have been many
demands for help this yesG. She
hoped every class would do it's share
to make the Student Loan Fund
Week" success.
Imagine the surprise and creepy
feeling that crept over the students
when President Allen arose and said,
"It is not considered wise to bring up
before the student body any one who
has been found guilty of an offense.
Once in awhile it becomes necessary
to do so. Will these seven young men
Of the school come forward and take
their places on the stage: Personals,
Swanson, Story, Gunderson, Anderson,
Bublitz, and Maresh."
After these young men had done as
directed Mr.. Spalding was called upon
to account for their being there. He
was unable to do so, but told about the
games at Wahpeton and Moorhead.
Next Miss Gubelman was called upon
She had made such good use of her
voice at Moorhead that she could not
tell very much about the game. She
spoke very highly of. the way she and
V. C. N. students and the team were
entertained after the game by the Off
Gals and students Of the Moorhead
Normal School.
In the meanwhile DR.. Allen had de-
cided on the reason why the basketball
boys were called lip in front. He said
he didn't think we appreciated their
good looks and asked the handsomest
man to rise and make speech.
Strange to say no one took advantage
of this opportunity. DR.. Allen next
asked the homeliest man to speak, ex-
pecting, of course that every man on
the team would stand up. Not a man
moved. Since no one responded to
this Personals was called upon. The
game in his estimation was hard
one. Next, Captain Gunderson spoke.
He accounted for the fact why our
team didn't score much the first half
of the game. He said there were two
posts in their territory, and when
running, the players were forced to
"slow, up at times, so as to avoid
close contact with the posts. Ander-
son had been knitting his brow and
scratching his head during the other
talks, so he was next called upon. He
confessed that the boys were afraid
they would lose the game. When ever
they had slime out" they tried to think
of some way to win. Story, the
smallest player on the team, upon be-
ing called, consulted his watch and
said he couldn't talk after twelve, but
to call upon Swanson! The main rea-
son why ". C. N. won the game, ac-
cording to Swanson's verdict, was be-
cause Miss Gubelman told them what
she would do, if they didn't. Bublitz
made his first appearance before the
students as a speaker He didn't
agree with Captain Gunderson as he
thought there were seven posts in
stead of two. Last but not least,
Maresh spoke. He said they won be-
cause Mr.. Spalding promised to treat
them if they did.
The students then sang new song
written in honor of the team. Some
wells were given. The exercises were
brought to a close by DR.. Allen who
said, ave will not disown this team If
they lose every game left this season.
I am glad to know we have such a
good team. The team has been report
ed as playing a straight, clean game;
I hope everyone will show. they ap-I
preciate the team in the future"
