Thing Well Done

Whether thy work be fine or coarse,
planting corn or writing epics, so only
it be honest work, done to thine own
appreciation, it shall earn reward
to the senses as well as to the thought !;
no matter how often defeated, you are
born to victory. The reward of a
thing well done is to have done it

A political crusade in the
Nineteenth century and In the

past history nor the, future

of popular government.
Buchanan won the elec-
ton anG during his admins
tration history was made rap
idly along the line of the slav-
ery issue. The United States
Supreme court rendered the
bred Scott decision that no
negro. free or slave, was cltl-
zen, thus implying that the
Missouri Compromise had al
ways been unconstitutional In
it's discrimination against
slavery. There was farci-
cal vote in Kansas in favor
of the Lecomptoa pro-slavery
state constitution, and prac-
tically a state of civil war In
that territory. The famous
"Freeport Debates" in Illinois

Douglas attracted the atten-

forced Douglas to uphold the
doctrine of popular SOW

TOWER five IS
BEATEN BY ELY.
JUNIoR COLLEGE DEFEATED
BY HIBBING AND EVELETH,
1915, 23-5.

Handling the ball in a vastly I'M
proved manner over that OF the
Mountain Iron game the local high
school defeated Tower 2O-l7 in the
Memorial gymnasium Thursday
night. The Junior College did not
fare so well and on two night
trip were forced to take beatlngs
from the colleges at Hlbblng ana
Eveleth, Friday and Saturday.
A large assemblage of students
representing both Ely and Tower
attended the high school game and
rocked the sturdy gymnasium with
their cheers. The Tower students
were in their glory during the flrst
quarter when the visiting team was
leading 5-4, but after that the local
rooters had more occasion to give
vent to their feelings.
The loose-fumbling and poor pass
ing which characterized Ely's play
in the Mountain Iron contest was
altogether absent. Although the
passing attack is not yet polished It
gives promise of being smoothed
out in time. This will be quite nee
essary tonight if Ely expects to
cut Virginia high schools champion
ship aspirations short. The game
is to be played at Virginia tonight,
and as Virginia possesses a rangy
veteran quint which is being point
ed toward the state championship
dopesters do not give Ely an equal
chanc to emerge as victors. To-
morrow night the team opens
Aurora's season. Aurora is an I'M
known quantity but Ely is expect
ed to triumph. The next home
game will be with Biwabik, January
9th.
There were plenty thrills to pre-
serve the interest at the Tower
game. Tie result was doubtful un-
til the last quarter but even then
to dispell any easy nome is that
the Ely rooters might have enter
tanned the visitors Gagged basket
and appeared to be on their way to
a victory-capped rally. Numerous
penalties inflicted by the hawk-eyed
Cerveny prevented the contest from
assuming the proportions of the
wrestling, brawling match at Tower
last year.
Tower employed a criss cross
attack built around the aggressive
Nemmich who played the best game
for the visitors scoring three field
baskets. Pluth with three baskets
from the field and four free throws
was the high point man for the
locals.
Things looked dark for Ely the
first quarter After the locals had
scored first Tower ran up total
of five. Ely drew up just before
the quarter closed by counting
twice from the foul line. But by

Hibbing Presents Strong Lineup.
The Junior College, met a lineup
of classier performers at nibbing
and this was directly attributed to
the one-sided defeat. Inability to
find the hoop was the big weakness
at Eveleth. Ely outshot Eveleth
2 to l but the Mesaba Rangers
possessed the more accurate shoot
ing eye.
Besides being sterling individual
performers the Hibbing team work
ed well as unit and were dead
shots. Hulstrand, the big Hibbing
center, was the star of the game.
Hugh Call of this city played for
ward for Hibbing.
Ely afforded the Eveleth team a
great deal more opposition. The
foor-play of both teams was about
even but Eveleth outshot Ely. The
victors were ahead at half time
50. In the second half Teplicky
put the game on the ice for his
team by some exceptional shooting.
