Thirty-seventh district court declared
that Cadena will see lone more Cinco

Cadena has been in the Bexar coun-
~ Jail since his conviction. His case
was taken TO the higher courts on ap-
peal and was affirmed. The mandate
Of the Court of Criminal Appeals
came down but still Judge Anderson
deferred sentence.
Meanwhile the Legislature passed a
law abolishing the gallows and sub
shutting the electric chair. 1t was
then thought that Judge Anderson
would pass sentence. He again de-
ferred, however, asserting that he was
DESTROYS of having the electric chair
tried out on some other prisoner than
one of Bexar county's. Judge Ander-
son wanted to see whether the chair
would function properly.
Judge Looks at Calendar.
Recently. however. there have been
q number of executions at Huntsville
and it was intimated Thursday that
the district Judge has made up his
| mind TO pass sentence. Judge Andcr'
son Thursday was waiting for thu
Thirty-seventh grand jury to report
When the question of his sentencing
| Cadena came up.
A. w. Harlos. clerk of the court
mentioned that two negroes convicted
of the killing of n Dallas police Of
ficer had been electrocuted.
I'll soon have to pass sentence on
my man and / hate to do il" Judge
Anderson remarked. Lets sec, what
is today?'
He looked at calendar and then to
himself, figured that Saturday is
April ). He slowly nodded his head.
"Yes. Cadena will see another Cinco
de Mayo the judge then remarked,
still to himself.
See One More Cinco de Mayo.
Questioned as to the time which
must elapse between the sentence and
the date of execution Judge Anderson
replied mot less than 30 days" Thirty
days from April would be May ., or
"Cinco de Mayo" "Cinco de Mayo
is holiday for the Mexican people
and is generally observed.
Judge Anderson said he has never
sentenced man to die in the electric
chair, the sentences having been
passed by him were to "hang until
dead" He will go over the matter and
ascertain the legal phrasing OF the
sentence by the electric chair.
The sentencing of Cadena has been
a matter which has aroused consider
able interest as did his trial. In a
statement following the shooting of
the young girl Cadena declared that
he shot her because he loved her and
could not get her.

SANTA CLAUSE READS
THE HOME PAPERS

A letter was mailed here 20 Santa
Clause, North Pole," but as the jolly
old fellow is now ''out on the road
with his reindeer the Postoffice force
decided the best thing to do would
be to have the note printed in The
Journal.
You see, Santa starts down from
his toy shop about this time of the
year, checking up on the children to
see where he should leave presents
for the good little boys and girls, and
where to pass up the naughty ones.
So its hard to find him by mail now.
But he keeps track of the news
papers, and all letters printed are cut
out and forwarded to him wherever
he may be.
The Journal is one of the papers
on Santa's clipping list, and his
secretary or whoever attends to that
sitter for him, always for
Santa letters to him. So if there
are other children who want to drop
q line or two to Santa Claus, to tip
him off regarding presents, just
mail the letter to Santa Clause,
care of The Journal, River Falls,
Wis, and they win appear in the
very next issue of this paper. Bet
ter do it right away.
Here's the letter just turned over
to us:
Dear Santa Claus:
For Christmas would like a watch,
a bible, story-book, new wig for
my dolly, winter cap, great big
kiss and a letter from you. / will
now say good bye to you.
With much love,
Mary Alice Sherman.

HIGH SCHOOL LOSES
TURKEY DAY CANE

The Orange & White lost out at
La Crosse last Thursday, to 0, in
a spectacular game of wide-open
football.
La Crosse outweighed River Falls
several pounds to the man, but the
Orange & White forced them to de-
pend on the air attack for victory.
In the first quarter La Crosse
scored a plaee-kick in three attempts.
and in the last period they got away
with long forward pass for
touchdown.
While state championship honors
went "a'glimmering" in this defect,
River Falls is nevertheless proud Of
the entire seasons record Of its
high school gridiron warriors, and Of
the clean craftsmanship which they
displayed at all times

CMTC ANNUAL LAUDS
RIVER FALLS BOYS

The Camp Custer Citizens Mill
tary Training Camp annual, Pre-
paredness," just distributed, con-
tains some very complimentary re-
marks regarding the River Falls
boys, Lowell Dawson and Behlmer
Carisch, who were enrolled there
last summer.
Wisconsin, although having the
lowest enrolment of the three
states represented in the camp, took
eleven of the sixteen prizes awarded
in camp athletics, and Behlmer and
Lowell, as members Of the camp
championship basketball and foot
ball teams, did their share in bring
ing these honors to the Badger
state. The enrolment figures show
that Illinois had 1875, Michigan
900 and Wisconsin 721.
The basketball and grid compet-
ition was divided into two classifica-
tions--light and heavyweight-and
the River Falls boys were on the
lightweight teams.
The championship basketball team
was composed of Co. "U' men.
The ANNALS writeup of the title
game has the following to say of
Dawson and Carisch:
Lowell Dawson, running guard on
the championship team, displayed an
unusual amount of good floorwork
and clever passing and his stellar
defensive guarding throughout the
session more than helped win his
team the honors. Carisch, besides
scoring four points, played good
floor game and fitted in we'll in the
fve-man defense that the champions
brought into action
Wisconsin's lightweight football
team defeated the Michigan team for
the championship, 90 to T. Follow
ing is a partial account Of the game,
showing the prominent part taken
by the River Falls boys:
"a forward pass, Dawson to
Carisch, from Michigan's 22-yard
mark, gave the Wisconsin light
weights their first touchdown. Daw7
son kicked goal for the extra pointl
Michigan tied, the score in The
second quarter and neither side
Tailed again until the fourth period,
when Dawson completed a forward
pass from Michigan's 28-yard line
and Sheehan went over for a touch
down. In the last few minutes Daw-
son, fullback, scooped up a tumble
and ran 40 yards for another touch
down"

The Game In Detail
By Charles Gallup


The River Falls eleven's defeat at
La Crosse marked the end of one of
the most successful years of foot
bali in the history of the school.
The great brand of football PUT
forth by our team enabled us to
play the strong La Crosse team.
The day being very cold, caused con-
siderable fumbling of the ball and
dropping of passes. The ground was
very hard but no one on either team
was injured to any great extent.
River Falls won the toss and
kicked to La Crosse, who returned
the ball to their 35-yard line. BY
making some nice gains through the
line and off tackles, La Crosse car
ried the ball to River Falls 35-yard
line. AT this stage Render, the big
La Crosse fullback, threw a beauti-
full pass to our 10-yard line. Their
end missed the ball but one of our
players, in an attempt to intercept
the pass unintentionally fouled the
man. La Crosse was given the ball
on the 10-yard line. They tried
line smashes but could not advance
the ball yard. Our fellows were
getting warmed up and were begin
ming to show the old River Falls
fight that had won so many games
for them. However, on the next
play La Crosse scored beautiful
place kick making the score 5 to 0
in their favor.
River Falls again kicked to La
Crosse. During the latter part of
the quarter TIE ball seesawed back
and forth, La Crosse having a slight
advantage of our boys. In the
second quarter our team entirely
out-classed their tough opponents.
Standish and Bliss made sparkling
runs around end and brought the
ball to the 20-yard line. La Crosse
held US there and we were unable to
score. Both teams were playing in
fine form, La Crosse making good
gains through our line and our team
making forward passes. The score
at the end of the first half was to
0 in favor of La Crosse.
The second half was a repetition
of the first. River Falls lost many
chances to score, being on their
rivals 4-yard line and on the fifteen
yard line. La Crosse scored a touch
down on a short lateral pass and
criss cross play. 1t was cleverly
played but only by their good luck
did it work. The game was a thrill
er from start to finish. Our team
fought hard and played a brand of
football that we can all be proud of.
1t was difficult to pick a star on our
team as all of our men were at their
best. Our team lost, but let us re-
member, they showed the real fight
ing spirit and played good clean
football
