Waubun-White Earth
Basket Ball Game
waubun High School. by Reugh-House
Methods and Referees aid, Defeat
Local Schools Team bya
Close Score.

The Wilson school basket bal
team, accompanied by the White
Earth town team and a large crowd
of rooters and fans went to Wau
bun last Friday evening where the
Wilson school boys played the
rubber" game between them and
the Waubuu high school and, we
are sorry to state, came out second
best by score of Is to II. The
Wilson school boys were having
things all their own way until the
second half of the game wnen the
Waubun high school put fresh
players into the game who evi.
IDENTIFY mistOok it for a football
game, as they started rough. hous
ing it from the start. repeatedly
fouling the members of the Wilson
school team who, by the way, are
much younger, smaller and lighter
than we're their opponents. This
method, coupled with the many
unfair decisions of the referee,
who was continually calling fouls
against the Wilson school boys
but was apparently stone blind to
the Waubun school teams activ-
tiles in the regard, spelled defeat
for the Wilson school boys. The
editor of the Waubun Forum in his
issue of Jan. 12th, in which he
gives an account of the game here
between these two teams recently,
and in which our boys came out
victorious, stated, among other
things that ut was the toughest
game of basket ball ever played, u
and that sJme of the Wilson school
boys showed excellent football
FORM" etc. If the game here
was any rougher than the one put
up by Waubun last Friday even.
ing 1t must have been some battle,
for witnesses declare that the
game at Waubun was the roughes:
game seen in this locality for
many a day. Regardless of the
many unfair decisions of the
referee and the continual interfer-
ence by certain members of the
Waubun high school faculty the
Wilson school boys, demonstrated
one thing to the satisfaction of all
present, and that was that if given
a square deal they could play the
Waubun high school aggregation
off their feet at any stage of the
game, for handicapped as they
were the score was very close.
We understand that a return game
between these two teams is not
likely before some time next
month.
In the game between the White
Earth town team and the Waubun
American Legion team the same
evening, the Legion team was the
victors by a score of rs to IL.

the town of River Falls Monday, Feb.
IL. Funeral services were held at the
Congregational church in this city last
Thursday, Rev. J. O. Thrush officiat-
ing. Interment was made in Green
wood cemetery.
Mr.. Martin was a native of Coun-
ty Antrim, Ireland, where he was
born July 10, 1871. He came to
America, and to Waukesha, Wis, in
his early youth.
From Waukesha he moved to the
old farm south of River Falls, which
had been his home ever since. In June,
1885, he married Miss Elizabeth Nc
Clure, who, with their five children,
survives. The children are: Mrs. ].
S. Caldwell, Madison, Wis; Samuel
j. Martin, Westhope, Nd; William,
River Falls; Smith, McGrath, Can, and
Arthur, town of Kinnickinnic, all of
whom, with the exception of Smith,

ers, Smith Martin of Tower City, Pa,
and John Martin Of Rock Creek, Kan
sas.
Another name is stricken from the
ever lessening roll of our pioneers
that sturdy stock that developed this
land from wilderness to cultivation
and whose honest endeavors, kindly
deeds and exemplary habits have in
fuenced us all to better and nobler
life.

Tickets are now being sold for the

clean where all may see.
The ladies of the Corps have ar

Mrs. Lloyd Sherman, reader, head
ing the BILL There is also to be a
comedy sketch and some of the COM

SAMUEL GERRISH

The Normal School and community
were greatly shocked on Thursday
morning to hear of the sudden death
of Mr.. Sam Gerrish. He had attended
to his duties at the Normal on We'd
nesday and retired on Wednesday
evening, apparently in his usual good
health. He passed away shortly aft
er midnight; the cause Of death was
heart failure.
Mr.. Gerrish was born at Ono, Wis
consin, December 20, 1876. He grew
to manhood there and bought farm
which he operated until four years
ego, when he moved to River Falls to
give his children the advantage of the
Normal School. During his resi-
dence here he has been employed as
janitor at the Normal School. Mr..
Gerrish was married on November
20, 1899 to Miss Edna Andrews of
Ono. OF this marriage four children
were born, one Of whom died in in
fancy. The three children living are
Hartzell, Joyce and Carroll, all OF
whom live at home. Besides his wife
and children Mr.. Gerrish is survived
by his aged mother who lives at Rock
Elm, brother, Isaac, of Ono, and
two sisters, Mrs. Eta Baker, and
MRS. Hannah Przybilski, of Ono, Wis.
Mr.. Gerrish was converted and
joined the Methodist church at Ono
when 10 years of age. During the
years of his residence on the farm he
was an active member of that church.
Since his removal to River Falls he
has been a faithful and beloved mem
Der of the Methodist church of this
city. Mr.. Gerrish was an example OF
Christian ideals, carried out faithful
ly and unobtrusively in every day
life. He was a most kind and affee-
tionate husband and father. For the
sake Of his children, he gave up, while
still young man, the farm life which
he loved and at which he was pros
pering, for residence in this city with
its educational advantages. In his re-
lations at the Normal School he was
always faithful, courteous and oblig-
ing in the performance of his duties.
He will be greatly missed by the stu
dents, teachers and all others who
had the privilege of knowing him.
The sympathy of all goes out to the
family so early and so suddenly be-
reft of the husband and father.
Funeral services were held~at. the
home Friday afternoon. Burial was
made at Ono, Wisconsin. $40

STOUT CAGERS COMING:
PEDS SWAMP ST. MARY'S
Special Train Coming from Menomo-
ME for Stout Game Tomorrow
Night--Oshkosh Keeps
Record Clear

At Winona, Mimi, last Friday
night, Coach Otto Eggebrecht's net
snipers played rings around the st.
Mary's college quint, winning 80
16 victory with ease. "Dug" Chin
mock was the star of the fracas.
Tomorrow night Stout will be here
for the return conference game. AL
though River Falls won handily at
Menomonie when these quints first
clashed this season, Stout is coming
here backed by special trainload of
at least $50 rooters who are conf
dent that the Trainers will have re-
venge.
On the same evening Oshkosh at
Stevens Point will play what is con-
sidered the deciding tilt in the south
ern circuit. Oshkosh won at White
water this week, 26-14, and ranks
with River Falls in the seasons rat
ing, these two quints being the only
ones who have not suffered defeat in
conference game. If they continue
undefeated through the remainder of
their schedule Oshkosh and River
Falls will no doubt meet in three
game series to decide the State Nor
NAL School championship.
Eau Claire defeated Superior Nor
NAL 25-18 Saturday night, which
would indicate local victory when
the Northerners play their return
