Happenings Seen
Around the Depot 4
About Train Time

The football mania is gripping us
all, young and old. No less than
three groups of boys weree kicking
and throwing balls Of the foot
species on the graveled spaces next
the station Saturday. And we saw
an ordinarily staid and reserved busi-
ness man walking along main street
tossing football with obviously ex-
hilarant spirits with some small
kboys.
BlackfoOt may degenerate into an
Indian trading station IL the number
of dark faced visitors often equals
the number that came in Saturday,
for not less than forty-eight plump
braves, with eight fat sQuaws, five Of
whom were carrying perfect butter
balls Of papo0ses on their backs, ar
rived on one train.
Just after "An aboard had been
called for the last time, and you
knew, tho they didn't, that there was
still much baggage to be loaded, and
no danger of immediate departure,
little Japanese couple came scurr-
ing toward the train, almost literally
dragging fat Japanese baby. very
brilliant, in LITTLE garment spread
with painted cherry blossoms. They
lifted the little roll Of color onto
the coach--and were gone.
When all but the last car had
passed, and you thought the excite
ment all over, the observation car
pulled UP, and on the platform stood
a very lovely old lady with snowy
hair piled high. And dressed
you'll never guess-in hiking trous-
ers. as masculine as any high school
flapper ever wore!

TRACED TO PRIMITIVE DAYS

Token Of Reckoning.

"The days Of our age are three
score years and ten," said the Psalm
ist, showing that our forefathers reck-
oned by vows, system Of keeping
account Of figures based probably in
its original form upon the practice
of counting upon the fingers and toes.
The word "score" itself comes from
the Anglo-Saxon, being nothing more
than the word "scoren," which is the
past participle Of "sceran'-meaning
to cut. 1t indicated notch or incision
made upon tally-stick for the pur-
pose of keeping record Of financial
transactions.
The "score-mark" was the twentieth
notch upon these primitive account
bOOks"--a cut which was longer and
deeper than the others. Hence the
expression. ITO pay off old scores"
means not only the repayment Of old
debts, but the revenging of grievances
which have cut deep and left a last
ing impression.
1t is for the same reason, that Of
reckoning, that we speak Of the

Evening Spent AS
Guests of Troop

Enthusiasm for the first annua
ball given by the officers and men O
troop B, 116th cavalry, Friday at thu
American Legion hall is still running
high, and if one of the objects of the
troop in giving this affair was to In
still pride and wholesome interest
of the attendants in their 0rganiza
tion, they have fully succeeded.
Nearly 800 people were assembled
in the appropriately and effectively

were placed about the walls, both
flags and bunting being used, and in
the long, narrow windows, crossed
swords were placed. Decorative ef-
fects were produced by Lieutenant

before the close of the evening. u

stoned officers, who helped i'm
smensely, has established himself in
the hearts of those attending, as a
wonderful competent host. Patrons

and Mrs. George F. Gagon, Mr.. and
Mrs. James Duckworth, Mr.. and Mrs.
Hugh D. MacCosham, Mr.. and Mrs.
John G. Brown and Mrs. Blanche

qualification because of the inclusion
of several waltz numbers, which they
considered more applicable to their
own dancing inclinations.,

honored with the presence of several
visiting officers from Pocatello. They
were Major s. E. Anderson and
Lieutenants Packard and Lilson.

from Governor Davis expressing his

lery for inspection for federal recon-
mendation, and also stating their de-
sire of being able to attend the

spontaneously given gratifying COM
ments at their delight in the un-
PARALLEL evening the cavalry troop
gave the people OF Blackfoot Friday

Local High SchoolP Plays
Spectacular Aerial
Game

The football fans OF Blackf00
were given a real treat here Friday
when the local high school players
were defeated by Idaho Falls by {
acore of 9 to 6. The local'boys were
outweighed considerably, but thu
, showing they made against theil
heavier opponents easily equalei
that that Of more experienced
team. . ~
The tactics Of the two teams were
vastly different, Idaho Falls used
straight football from the time they
received at the beginning of the
game until the final whistle. Black.
foot attempted but few line plunges
and played an open game all the way
thru. The local team made all their
gains ION short, straight forward
passes. ~
Idaho Falls received in the first
half and went down the field to the
thirty yard line, where they at
tempted a place kick, which was
blocked. They recovered the ball on
an free tumble and went thru the
local teams line for touchdown
and goal kick.
In the second quarter Blackfoot
was forced back to their fifteen yard
line, where a bad pass from center
to Stephens netted safety for Idaho
Falls, which, counted two, making
their total of nine points.
After this Blackfoot started to
work their passes for gains and were
working hard for a touchdown when
time avs called for the half.
1t was different game in the
second half with Blackfoot having
the advantage Of the playing. They
would be held for downs and would
punt. Then Idaho Falls would work
their line plunges until they lost the
ball. Stephens passing to Taylor
and Cherrington netted gains time
after time and then they would lose
the ball by having some Idaho Falls
player complete the pass.
Early in the second half Blackfoot
was on Idaho Falls eight yard line
and here a tumble lost the ball for
them and Idaho Falls made big
gain by recovering the ball.
With seven minutes to, play Taylor
completed pass and was off for q
touchdown when he was rolled out
of bounds on the three yard line.
Here was Blackfoot's chance to score
and Stephens milled thru their line
for touchdown, but his usually de-
pendable foot failed him in "a mo-
ment of need so maroon and white
failed to register a goal kick. For
the last five minutes 1t was anybody's
ball and the game ended with both
teams still trying to score and fight
ing hard. ~4la SIS
Blackfoot's passing kept Idaho
Falls bewildered all thru the game,
Stephens was never tackled behind
the line and the tackles and guards
held their line out.
The ends and halves would go out
for the passes and for the chances
accepted a. few were incomplete and
Idaho Falls did not intercept very
many. The work of Taylor in COM
pleting these passes under difficulty
was very exceptional. 81
The officials 70 rthe game were
