his organization into shape for an in
tensive appeal for $500 as this coun-
tvs quota toward the 100000 Dowl-
ing Memorial fund. Very little need
be said regarding the purpose and
worth of this drive as the name of
NJ. J. Bowling of Olivia stamps it as
one to which the people of the state
will rally in support. The fund rails
ed thruOut the state will be used in
the construction of an institution,
where crippled children of poor par
ents and orphans needing medical
care will be sent and aid given them.
This institution will then be present
ed to the State of Minnesota in the

sidential districts of the city. A spe-
cial committee will visit the 'busin oss
men of the city,.
In the country the unit drive will
be in the school district. Each tea
cher in her district will be the sol
icitor or chairman of those soliciting.
The school children as we'll as ad.
ults will be given an opportunity to
donate something no matter how
small.
AS the Teachers Institute of Kan
diyohi County is being held in the
city this week the drive in the rural
districts will be somewhat delayed
but the details of the plan will be
presented to the teachers in their
sessions at the Institute in the court
room at the courthouse

villages are almost completed for the
work.

away as prizes. Among the school
t..., cts o. tne county one photograph
viii be given to the district raising
the targess sum in contributions:
One picture will be given to the

WILL PROTEST THE .
.M0NTE-LOCAL GAME
Monte Win. From WiRmar By A
Score of 7 to 6. Willmar
Lost Plain Touchdown

The game played at MOntevideO by
the Monte eleven and the football
team of the Wil1mar High School on
last Saturday, ahho one in which a
high brand of gridiron sport was dis
Played, terminated with much un-
pteasantness. The outcome of the
game has stirred up much dissatis-
faction not only among the fans here
in the city and the High School stu
dents but even in the High School
faculty. 1t was indeed deplorable that
this indeed splendid example of clean
football should be imarTed by such a
disagreeable incident. Wllmar feels
justified in claiming that in the Mon
te game she was not : accorded a
square deal" and received what she
had rightfu!ly gained. She was den
led a touchdown which was clearly
and uncontestably hers. This six
points which would have given Will
mar the game was lost thru the deci-
sion of the referee. eAltho the ball
had been placed on the. line, (which
is all that is required by the rules
for a touchdown, the referee to the
astonishment of the crowd gave the
ball to Monte and denied the touch
down. The game at that stage stood
Z to in Monte's favor. Both teams
had scored during the first half with
Wilmar failing to kick goal.
The attendance at the game was
large as Monte was out to trim the
locals if possible Willmar was eQu-
ally loyal to its team and fully two
hundred were present on the Monte
field a. - =
iWillmar clearly demonstrated its
superiority over the Monte team
when only after a few minutes . OF
play she carried the ball down the
field for the first touchdown Of the
game. The Linn, Sandin, Grace and
Peterson quartet successfully adyan-
ced the ball at good gains and finally
planted it over the line. Three plays
were all that was required. Bill John
son missed goal. Wcstgard was out
of the game the first quarter and en-
tered the second period. Linn was
credited with the touchdown.
Monte made her touchdown in the
second quarter by a trick pay thru
tackle. Borgendale, the active Mon
te halfback, made the touchdown and
Peddlar kicked goal. Score seven to
six points.
The third and first part Of the 4h
quarters were very Interesting from
the point OF view that both teams see
sawed in close match mp and down
the field. II appeared that neither

ed Glencoe

Hector High School eleven will
meet the Wi1!mar gridiron squad on
the local grounds Saturday afternoon
in the fourth game of the season for
the local team. The game should
prove victory for Wilmar but not
without some respectable opposition
on the part of Hector. Hector has
defeated Olivia and Glencoe and
comes here with a plucky nine. Will
mar with it's weight and superior ex-
perience should have no difficulty in
defeating the visitors: =
