Ancient Rivals Go
toDraw in Finals
Lancaster Fennimore Thanksgiving Score is
Seven to Seven Bitterly Fought.

Fennimore at a safe distance. Then
it all happened in two plays and Fen
nimore had touch down and a goal
and the score was Fennimore z, Lam
caster 0. 1t all happened in this man
ner: Clementson punted to mid-feld
and the ball was downed on the spot.
Fennimore tried three times and failed
to make first down, then instead of
kicking Emerson threw a pass which
was completed and gained many yards.
On the next play Emerson went off
left tackle for run of 20 yards and
touch down and minute later drop
kicked for the extra point. The hair
ended few minutes later with the
score Fennimore T. Lancaster 0.
Second Half
Lancaster came back after the rest
with renewed determination. "In a
hole" again which meant the east end
of the field, and with the wind still
a gale against them they not only held
their own but gained ground. Fennl-
more's kickoff went over the goal line
and was put in play on the 20 yard
line Try as they would Fennimore
was never able throughout the quar-
ter to get the ball beyond this mark
and when the whistle blew calling
for change of goals it was Lancas-
ter's ball on her own 80 yard line,
fourth down and yard to go. The
score Fennimore z, Lancaster 0.
Fourth Quarter
When play was resumed at the
west end of the field Clementson at
tempted to punt but the pass was bad
and the best he could do was to fall
on the ball on his own 20 yard line
giving Fennimore the ball at that
point. Fennimore made one first down
then, after three attempts had netted
four yards, Emerson tried a drop kick
from the Is yard line. The kick went
wide and it was Lancaster's ball on
Lancaster's yard line. On the first
down Clementson kicked from behind
over the goal line at the east end of
the field. 1t was put in play on Fen
nimore's 20 yard line and for ten min
utes of the quarter Fennimore, by
kicking on every third down and once
recovering one of their own kicks for
a long gain, kept their goal safe. Then
Emerson, who had dropped back for
a kick, muffed the ball and it rolled to
the five yard line where Henry of
Lancaster fell on it. Two tries at the
line left the ball one foot from the
goal, then a third attempt put it over.
However, the ball was called back
because the officials were busy get
ting the crowd off the field and neither
of them saw the play, and fourth
trial was necessary before a touch
down was registered. Clementson
added the extra point b va place kick
and the score was Fennimore 7, Lam
caster 7.
Fennimore kicked off and in the few
remaining minutes Lancaster started
a march down the field that surely
looked like another score but the time
was too short and the final whistle
blew after two first downs had been
registered

Radio Land

Local radio bugs hung on the all
in a sleuth-like manner Tuesday ev-
ening from 10 to IL to catch messages
from England and other points
abroad. The test sending of radio
across the Atlantic had been an
nounced and all American stations
were silent. Several local sets picked
up woman singing a soprano solo
a piano solo, an orchestra and man
dolin quartet. Unfortunately it was
impossible to get the words of the
announcers. Aside from the novelty
of it there was nothing unusual about
the European program they being, in
fact, much below the American in
quality.
Following the European broadcast
Tuesday night last local. radio fan
tuned in on the pipe organ concert
at Dallas, Texas, where a program OF
merit was being broadcast. He was
much surprised to hear the. announcer
say Mort. BARLEY will favor with a
song entitled, ETC." Mr. BARLEY went
ahead to sing couple of engaging
numbers. Whether DR.. Mort BARLEY
of Columbus had gone to Dallas for
the evening concert, the announcer
did not state and the Mort. on the air
said nothing about it.
Radio listeners Friday evening
picked up the big broadcast station
located in Echo Park Garden, Los
Angeles, and heard broadcast of a
Salvation Army meeting. A lady with
a sweet speaking voice announced the
numbers, preached a sermon and sang
in beautiful soprano various Saliva
ton Army hymns. She was accom-
panied by mammoth choir OF
trained voices and their melodious ac-
compartment came in perfect unison
with the dulcet tones of the soloist
The speakers diction was good and
her choice of topics we'll chosen and
inspiring. This concert was herd at
Lancaster, Wisconsin, between 9 and
10 p. NJ, Friday evening, Nov. %
1924.

RED CROSS OUT
TO BATTLE THE
WHITE PLAGUE
r. NJ. Orchard Chairman
Local Stamp Sale.-Uses
of Christmas Seal.

r. M. Orchard has been appointed
manager of the 1924 Christmas seal
campaign conducted by the Wiscon-
sin Anti-Tuberculosis Association in
Lancaster. The sale of seals opened
Thanksgiving and continues through
Christmas.
tits going to be the biggest seal
sale we've ever had" declared Mr.
Orchard in an interview today. "'Buy
seals, lick tuberculosis is our slo-
gan. 1 hope that every bit of Christ
mas mail that leaves Lancaster will be
sealed with Christmas seals. Buying
seals isn't just philanthropy-s
thing to help people who already
have tuberculosis; it's a means of
protecting your own home. No home
is safe from tuberculosis until all
homes are safe.
"a great deal of progress has al
ready been made in the fight against
this disease, but tuberculosis has been
so long in the making that it is going
to take long time to wipe it out.
Since the campaign against tubercu-
losis was begun in 1908, the tubercu-
losis death rate in Wisconsin has
been cut SO per cent. But there's much
to do. Last year, 1873 people died of
tuberculosis in Wisconsin and there
are more than $1,000 cases in the
state-some of them in nearly every
community, no matter how small.
people used to think that tubercu-
losis was a disgrace to be hidden, and
a diagnosis of tuberculosis was re-
garded by the layman as death war
rant. Now they know that it's cur
able and preventable disease to be
fought in the open. They have been
taught that by the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association which has
conducted over $50 free chest clinics,
the chief purpose Of which is the dis
covery of unknown and unsupported
cases of tuberculosis, in more than
$50 Wisconsin towns and made over
$4,000 chest examinations. The chest
clinic is by no means the only health
activity supported by the Christmas
seal. 1t pays for school for train

THIS FALL MILD AS LAST

A comparison of weather this fall
and last shows that mild as last fall
was it does not exceed favorable con-
ditions pertaining during a similar
period so far in 1924. The high and
low temperatures for year ago are
about the same as last year. Last
Thanksgiving there was a heavy fall
of snow. This cleared off and was fol-
lowed by mild and dry weather until
New Years when an old-fashioned
blizzard happened along. From that
time on it was regular winter.

trees may do so and it is possible by
that means to have the whole square
lined with trees.

The World Do Move.

An Associated Press dispatch an
nounces that "Mrs. Alice Roosevelt
Longworth expects to become a
mother early in February. Rooms
have been engaged for her in a Chi
cago hospital"
A few years ago an announcement
of this kind would have been consid-
cred improper ii not vulgar. That is,
the rule was to reserve news about
births until the event had happened
and then touch On it in an ambiguous
manner, ''the stork called, etc."
Today one has about as much pri-
vacy as a goldfish in a glass bowl.
But the tendency is to be frank about
fundamental facts and it makes for
cleaner morals.
