THIRD NATIONAL CONVENTION
OF AMERICAN LEGION CLOSES
AT KANSAS CITY.
STATE BAND WINS.
GOPHER BADGES, MUSIC AND
PEP MAKE MINNESOTA
BOYS POPULAR.
(By Chaplain Phil Ellsworth)

A greater army than Sherman
marched to the sea passed before the
reviewing stand in Kansas City last
week at the National Convention OF
the American Legion. ~, 900 men
with colors flying, in step to the music
of many bands turned eager faces to
the reviewing stand to look again INTO
the faces of Marshall Foch, General
Z Pershing, General Jaques, General
Diaz and Admiral Beatty, the men
who led them on to victory on the
sunny field of France. For nearly
five hours the line passed in review,
the greatest parade Kansas City ever
saw, greater than any city will ever
see, of its kind. g. s
The great convention hall was pack
ed during the three days OF this great
convention and much business OF q
constructive character was passed up
on. The next convention will be held
at New Orleans in 1922. Iowa had
probably the longest line of marchers
in the parade, with the exception OF
Missouri and Kansas, but Illinois and
Minnesota had more post banners IN
line than any other state, Minnesota
had 40. backed up by one additional,
the colors of the Giant Valley Boy
Scout troop Of Minneapolis, Giant
Valley Legion Post which will receive
a .sbar of honor" which is awarded to
all banners carried in the parade.
DuIuth's Legion Band, the official
band Of the American Legion Of Min
nesota did itself proud Out of Sc
bands from all over America which
marched in the parade, Minnesota s
Official Legion Band, leading 120O
Minnesota Legionafres won first prize
of 100000 and all the honor that the
title implies. With this band leading
with more post colors than any other
state, except Illinois, with a Gopher
badge pinned on every mans shoulder
the impression left by the Minnesota s
delegation was second to that of no
other delegation in the parade.
Banners, badges, ribbons, and other
methods of advertising the home state
were used by hundreds of thousands
at Kansas City by Legionaires from
every state in the union, but the hit
of the convention" in this respect was
the Gopher badges of Minnesota and
the Sunfower badges of Kansas. 200
Gopher badges were worn on the
streets of Kansas City, but twice that
number could have been sold to ad-
n1irers from other states.
The Daisy was selected by the Ma
tional Convention as the official flow
er of the American Legion, suitable
for wear on all patriotic occasions.
Kansas City, progressive and wide
awake as she is, never saw anything
to compare with the Legion's Thirc
National Convention. For four days
Kansas City's newspapers stood amaz.
ed, candidly admitting that they coulc
find no words that could half express
the spectacle that captivated them
Even the veteran writer, Herbert
Corey, admitted his inability to de,
scribe it, declaring that it surpassed
anything he had ever seen, not with
standing his fame as. a writer Q.

No Score Made IN
Big Sunday Game
REDWOOD FALLS LEGIoNAIRES
MEET NEW PRAGUE K. C'S
IN BIG BATTLE.
GOOD OFFICIALS HELP.
BIGGEST AND BEST GAME EVER
SEEN ON LOCAL GRID
SAY SPECTATORS.

you missed the football game last
Sunday at the Fair Grounds you miss
ed the best battle that was ever pulled
off on the local gridiron. The fast Il.
C. team from New Prague came down
here with state wide reputation to
wipe the Redwood Falls team off the
earth as far as football is concerned,
but the result was q scoreless tie.
Everyone of the six hundred that had
gathered to see this game went away
with satisfied feeling that they had
received their moneys worth.
New Prague won the toss and re-
ceived the kickoff at the west goal.
On the first play they were penalized
fifteen yards for holding and before
they could make their downs, were
forced to punt. The ball was forced
back and forth in the center Of the
field until a forward pass was inter
cepted by New Prague player who
had clean field ahead of him, but be-
fore he could go over for touchdown.
the speedy sIrish" Corcoran caught up
and tackled him ten yards from the
line, thus saving the day. New
prague was held for downs and Red
wood took the ball. The ball was
chased from one end of the field to the
other, but neither team seemed able
to push it far enough to score.
Twice during the game New Prague
tried drop kicks but neither one re-
gistered. Redwood Falls tried once
and it was fizzle. Not until the last
few minutes of play did the excite
ment reach its height when Redwood
took the ball down the field, about
eighty yards on four forward passes
to their three yard line. With twelve
seconds left to play another forward
pass "our only chance to score" failed
by just a few feet and the curtain
dropped, ending one of the greatest
contests ever witnessed on the focal
field.
Redwood outplayed the New Prague
team and deserved to win. A little
more time in the last quarter would
have done the deed, but as this was
football and not horseshoe being close
did not count.
There is no one in this part of the
country that doubts New Prague's re-
putation in the state because of the
high class and clean, hard football
they displayed here Sunday. On Octo-
Der 80, New Prague played scoreless
tie with the fast "Oaks" team from
Minneapolis. The Redwood Falls
team played high class football and is
worthy Of all the support that can be
given it. The members stopped one
of the fastest teams in the state and
had they had coach this season, as
had their opponents, they could meet
any team in the state and hold their
own. 7s
Much credit for the success in which
the game was conducted is due to the
splendid officiating Of j. P. Hender-
son and Mr., Popp of Minneapolis.
