Last Minute Kick
Brings Falls Victory
Tie Score When, Brooks Boots Goal
At Close OF Normal-Stout Game
At Menomonie Saturday-Was
First Conference Game For Red &
White-Ft. Smelling Here Tomor-
row

Coach Eggebrecht's Pedagogues
invaded Menomonie Saturday and
dampened the exhuberance of Stout's
homecoming festivities by trimming
the Trainers Is to 10.
1t was one Of those games which
ruins the sanity of the sidelines.
River Falls scored first. Neither
side could gain consistently on line
plays, so when River Falls got the
ball well into Stout territory late in
the first quarter Ingli was sent in to
boot over field goal Boot it over
he did, and the Peds. were off to B.
point lead. Thus heartened, and en-
couraged by long end runs by Cap
tain Mike Smith, they scored again
in the second quarter, forward
pass, Smith to Maier over the goal
line, bringing their total to ten.
Stout then had its inning, scoring
a drop-kick and, in the last few min
utes of the final quarter, tearing
through the line half the length Of
the field for a touchdown and goal
which tied the score.
With four minutes left to play il
looked certain to end tie. But
Captain Mike broke away for thirty
yards and so excited Trainer that
the latter kneed Smith and earned a
15-yard penalty which took the ball
to Stout's 20-yard line. Two tries at
the line brought only yards.
Young Brooks was then called in
from the reserve bench to win the
game with his educated toe. He up
and did so, booting the pigskin high
and true over the center of the bar
for a three-point margin which
meant victory for his team and a
delirium of joy for the big delega-
tion of River Falls rooters.
While the drop-kicks of Ingli and
Brooks were the spectacular features
of the River Falls offense, too much
credit cannot be given to Capt
Smith, Mat. Nelson, Quandt, and to
the gallant work of the forwards
who made it possible for the backs
to scintillate. Teamwork and good
generalship won the battle, and every
Red & White warrior who took part
deserves equal credit in the glorious
victory.
Tomorrow the soldiers team from
Fl. Smelling will come here to en-
gage the Pedagogues on Ramer
Field.

ANOTHER FAKE SCHEME
FOR FARM RELIEF

What appears to be another
scheme to relieve the farmer of his
money without accomplishing an
thing was called to the attention #
the Department of Markets by a
farmer residing at Arkansaw, wis
Wisconsin has been overrun with
promoters whose main object is to
secure so much per head and such
schemes which hope to enlist "every
farmer in the United States" and
raise prices on farm products that
VIII give the farmer a profit over the
cost of production" are carefully
planned to insure the promoters Of
a profitable income.
The farmer who sends in the in
formation remarks, ''to thinking
men, this scheme has all the eac-
marks of gigantic fake" 1t is be-
coming more difficult to fool Wis
consin farmers with fake schemes.
Farmers desiring to join worthy and
honestly administered farm societies
have ample opportunity to join well
established and proven organizations,
whose ambitions have made perman
emit accomplishments for agriculture.
Many schemes with the formula
given above have been tried but
without exception have failed.

River Falls High
TrOunCes MenOmOnie
Air Attack, Standish To Carisch, Be-
wilders Opponents-Bobby Smith
Scores Final Touchdown After 10
yard Dash-Game Ends % to In
Favor OF Orange & White

Fridays game at Menomonie start
ed out very promising from the
Menomonie high school standpoint,
for their heroes scored touchdown
within three minutes after kicking
off to River Falls high.
Things locked a little brighter for
the Falls when, few moments later,
the Menomonie quarterback was
downed behind his own goal line for
a 2-point safety. Then River Falls
opened up its air attack, and the ac-
curate passes of Standish, coupled
With the daring and brilliant re-
ceiving of Carisch, soon had the
Menomonieites dizzy. Carisch went
across for River Falls first touch
down, and the first half ended with
the tally at SO in favor of the Orange
& White.
Alternating line bucks and forward
passes, the Falls resumed scoring ii
the second half, and tailed almost at
will. When line plays didn't make
the required distance, Standis,l
would pull a perfect pass to either
Carisch, Segerstrom or Ray Smith
for from ten to thirty yards, while
all Menomonie could do was to try
and get lined up ahead of the next
play. Doug. Savage was true to his
name in line plunging, and usually
came through with whatever was
needed for first down.
Menomonie tried the air route in
a desperate effort to score again, but
none of their twelve passes brought
any considerable yardage. One If
their last wild heaves was intercepted
by little Bobby Smith, who rae Il
back with it 70 yards for the final
touchdown, a run for which the
midget received frantic applause
from visiting and home rooters alike.
Bobby's score brought River Falls
total to 80, while the Menomonie
tally remained at 6.
Tomorrow Coach Klanrud will take
his proteges to Lexington Park,
where they will play the huskies OF
st. Paul Central high school. A
glorious battle is predicted, and
many local fans plan to accompany
the team.

Prof. Jacobson Heads
County Sunday Schools
Prescott Convention Was Best Ever
Held-Reeord Attendance-Spring
Valley Chosen For 1925 Meeting


Valley Chosen For 1925 Meeting
Professor J. P. jacobson of River
Falls was elected president Of the
Pierce County Sunday School associ-
alton at its fifth annual convention
held in Prescott Saturday. The 1925
convention of this organization viii
be entertained at Spring Valley by
the Congregational church of that
city.
The Prescott convention at Pres
colt was by far the best of its kind
ever held in this county, and the at
tendance at all three sessions easily
surpassed that Of any previous con-
vention of the association.
Nineteen of the thirty-fve church
schools of the county were represent.
ed in total of 232 registered dele
gates.
The program was a winner from
start to finish. The audience was
alertly attentive and showed fine
appreciation of the splendid work
being presented.
DR.. Honline, Mr.. Rogers and Miss
Town make strikingly strong COM
bination, and they present well
balanced program. One is sure to be
carried to great heights by DR.. Hon
lines inspirational addresses, but
just as surely, within brief period,
Mr.. Rogers keen, challenging state
ments and pertinent questions, bring
him down, face to face with stern,
disturbing and yet powerful faciaat-
ing calls to definite, progressive
action.
One feels that the message of each
man is just what he needs. The COM
bination is great. Miss Towns de-
lightfully interesting personality, to-
gether with her very fine ability, her
complete equipment for her field IF
work, and her convincing manner,
place her in the first rank of leaders
in children's work. 1t is rarely, in.
deed, that leader in Miss Towns
position combines all of her splendid
qualities-winsomeness, genuine
worth, sympathetic understanding,
ability to grasp situation quickly,
and give the needed help-these and
thousand and one others.

of Prescott for their cordial welcome
and splendid hospitality, and to the
county officers of the past year for

points.
