GIVING
Great Football Game Scheduled.
Other High School News.

The football game scheduled with
the Luther Props for last Saturday
was cancelled on account of the
frozen condition of the ground. The
next game is the big game of the
season. d. H. S. plays Cresco at

on the basis of comparative scores,

possible. This fact and the natural
rivalry that always exists between
Cresco and DEBORAH makes a rous-
ing good game assured.
1t is hoped that Doc Evans will
come forth with his annual state
ment regarding the good effects of
attendance at a football game after
hearty Thanksgiving dinner.
The preliminary Declamatory Con-
test was held in the Assembly Room
