Cardigan Here
February 18th
AMERICAN LEGION BRINGS BIG
PICTURE TO HELP WITH MEM
ORAL HOSPITAL.

Manager James w. Byram is max
ing plans for the presentation of
Cardigan, the great historical pic
ture, which will be shown at the New
Dream on Lincoln's Birthday, Febru-
ary IL. Mr.. Byram has given this
date to this picture as a matter of
helping the American Legion under
whose auspices the film will be shown,
all proceeds from its showing to be
used for the MINNESOTA MEMOIR
AL HOSPITAL, which the Legion
plans to build at Rochester, Minn.,, in
of the Soldier and
Sailor Dead of Minnesota.
Cardigan. is from the well known
story by Robert w. Chambers, AM
erica's best known writer of novels,
and tells one of the most romantic
stories ever filmed. The love story
threads it's way through the early
period of the American Revolution
and is said to be the most amazing
film of realism ever enacted on the
screen. 1t has been reported that
when it was shown for the first time
in this country at the Capitol Theatre
in New York City, the worlds largest
HiOIlOH piCJuIc tucdtTc, Tie uTSJ HlSuI
audience stood on the chairs and
cheered.
The picture tells the romantic love
story of youthful pair which threads
its way through the outset of the AM
erican Revolution and leads you right
into the high spots of the early
American history period. All the
well known patriots are shown,
especially those who became his
torically famous through their acti-
vities in the Revolution. John Han
cock, he of the large bold signature,
who lived to display that signature
on the Declaration of Independence,
is seen in all his simple glory, while
Patrick Henry electrifies the audi
ence with his famous speech which
contains that never to be forgotten
line "Give me Liberty or give me
Death" Then there is the Paul
Revere incident, showing this thrill
ing scene from start to finish, with
not one detail missing.
Every cent of the proceeds of Cardi-
gan will go toward the Memorial Hos
pital and citizens of Redwood Falls
and vicinity can do no more laudable
thing on Lincoln's birthday than to
give to the Legion the fullest measure
of support and cooperation.

Legion vs.. Marshall

In their second game last week, the
local Legion team fioundered the Mar
shall Legion 31-14 in a fast and snap
py game. Gregor and Mason starred
for Redwood as usual.
In the first division the Marshall
five led 81 Marshall pulled off some
spectacular team work and did some
fine shooting. Gregor accounted for
both of Redwood's tallys by two long
shots. Castle called several fouls but
neither side seemed able to locate the
net on free tries. Marshall scored one
free throw.
In the second round Redwood pulled
off some beautiful plays and Gregor
was chalked up with three free throws
and basket. Dahms found his shoot
ing eye and dropped in neat one,
while Mason dribbled down for another
basket. Marshall only credited them
selves with one basket this period and
Redwood led at the end of the half 49,
z.
Marshall opened up the second half
with two baskets in about as quick a
time as they could get the ball and
shoot. This kind of excited Gregor so
he dropped in two baskets and free
throw to set aside all danger. Mar
shall didn't even come close to Red
woods score after that. Dahms slip
ped in long one and Mason hit his old
stride and marked down two baskets
for himself, both being made under the
net with three men guarding him.
In the last period Gregor started
off with free throw in several tries
and Martin slipped in a nice shot after
some good team work. Marshall did
their best with free throw and a
basket. Mason, sank another one of
his characteristic shots and Gregor
wound up the scoring with perfect
shot from a corner.
Marshall was distinctly outplayed in
every phaze of the game although they
pulled off some fine team work.
Walter Lamberton started the game
in place of Chauncey Welch who sus-
tanned a bum leg from the Morton
game. Wilbur Lamberton took Wal
ter's place the second half and both
of them played wonderful defensive
games. Martin went in in Dahms'
place the last quarter and played fine,
making one nice basket and taking
part in some effective team work.
Castle refereed perfect game and
called several just fouls on both sides.
The game was fast and speedy and
very interesting to watch. A large
crowd witnessed this game.
The lineup: Gregor L. F., Mason
R. F., Dahms c., Carity R. G., w.
Lamberton L. G. Sub: Wilbur LAM
berton for Walter Lamberton. Mar
tin for Dahms. Field goals: Gregor
6, Mason 4, Dahms 2; Martin. Free
throws: Gregor 5-10.

Three Good Games
Played Last Week
LEGION PLAYS MORTON AND
MARSHALL; HIGH SCHOOL
LOSES TO SLEEPY EYE. g
Morton VS.. Legion

Tuesday evening, January % the
local Legion team trounced Morton
14-11 in the closest and hardest-fought
game of the season. The game was
played on the Morton floor and re-
fereed by Helgeson of Delhi. Two
fouls were called throughout the game,
one on each side. The game was ex-
ceedingly rough and several times it
was thought that the players would
forget the sportsmanship Of the game
in their desire to mangle one another.
The game was started off by Gaasch
shooting long shot from the middle
of the floor. From then on both teams
pecked away at the basket but couldn't
seem to find the loop. Castle made a
free throw and the quarter ended 80
with Morton supreme.
The second quarter was little more
favorable for Redwood. Mason and
Gregor each dropped in field basket
and Gregor slipped in two free throws
in as many tries. Carruth, accom-
panied by some beautiful team work
sank the sphere for two points and
the half ended, Redwood 6, Morton 5.
The second half both teams were
rarin' to go and Dahms scored neat
shot from a corner. Castle dribbled
through for another counter after
some ineffective shooting by Redwood.
Near the end of the quarter Gregor
lifted the ball up over the rafters
and let it fall squarely into the net.
The quarter ended 10 to 7 with Red
wood still on top.
The last quarter was barren of any
thing that looked like basketball and
both teams settled down to the busi-
ness of getting the best of each other.
Two of the players pulled off little
pugilistic exhibition after the Morton
man had deliberately tackled the Red
wood player. They were pulled apart
before any harm was done and the
game resumed. Gregor and Welch
each scored for Redwood in this period
with two pretty shots. Gaasch distin-
guished himself by making two bas-
kets unaided. The last whistle found
Redwood still in the lead by 14-11
count.

EUFAULA Hi DEFEATS
DAWSON HI IL TO @
SEASON COMES TO A CLOSE
HOME BOYS WON 4 GAMES.
BASKET BALL NEXT.

Last Friday Eufaula defeated Daw-
son Hi by the score OF II to O. After
two plays Turner. for Dawson, ran
90 yards for a touchdown, but the
referee blew his whistle, thinking the
ball was III possession OF Gurr, and
so the score didn't count. He was not
unfair in his decision, but must have
been asleep, as ii is his place to keep
up with the ball This was a serious
blow to the Dawson lads, who never
again had a good chance of scoring.
Eufaula had bad break also when
the first half ended with them on
Dawson's two foot line and nothing
but the time preventing a score.
Both sides seemed to be able to adj
vance the ball fairly well, but Daw-
sons line showed up weak and hardly
ever stopped the players of the op-
posing backs.
Six of Eufaulas twelve points came
as the result of two field goals exc
cuted with deadly precision and &C
curaCy. The other six came in the last
minutes Of play when on a series of
line bucks they advanced the ball
from midfeld for a touchdown.
The Dawson team as a whole show
ed up poorer than in any game pre-
vious, though there were few bright
spots here and there.
Thus ends Dawson's first year at
the greatest of all sports. Eight games
have been played and four won. Ev-
cry team met has been scored on
with the exception OF Albany, which
was the first game. By next year a
great team should be developed, as the
boys now have years experience to
help them through the rocky. places.
