TROYER NEW BUILDING
Dismantling Old Structure on
Wall Street for New Brick
Building.

One more old landmark on Wall
street is in the discard and in it's
place will appear modern brick
business place and finished at that
by the middle of May.
Yesterday morning Ray Troyer,
owner of the Eagle Bakery, started
dismantling the old structure he
has occupied for many years with
his bakery business on Wall street
and it is now gone" This frame
b u ildin g adjoined the Lawler
building on the west and the
Strong & Manley building on the
east. In tearing down the old place,
which had 40 basement, a mann
moth cork pine stump was found
underneath the floor in a perfect
state of preservation. The removal
of the stump will cause a little ex-
ertion, for it cannot be dynamited,
and the main roots undoubtedly
run under the buildings adjoining
where there is no basement.
The lumber in this old building,
especially the sheeting on the side
walls, shows clear pine boards four
teen and sixteen inches wide and
one can gather from this that the
pine forests in this section in the
early days contained some mighty
fine trees. Finn Lawler states that
lumber Of this kind only cost $500
per thousand feet when Eagle
River was being built in the lum-
bering days. Different now.
Mr. Troyer will replace this old
structure with one of brick, and
install in it's interior modern bak-
cry equipment. He will be ready
for the trade by June first. In the
meantime he has secured quarters
for his bakery in the fruit store of
Dunphy-Holzman company.

OH, YES! IT'S GRAND
dedicated to the Author of Happy Days.'1

Oh, yes it's grand and glorious
To muse on days gone by
BY the sparkling, rushing waters
Under bright and shining sky.
Where the trout and fly and skeeter
Keep you working mighty fast
And the one you've fished and fished for
Takes your bait and hook at last
Where those COMPOUNDED old alders
And the willers just as bad
Snarl up your lure and sinkers
And makes your gladness sad;
And when you slip upon stone
And sit down all "a-squash,"
It's half the joy of fishing
And that is SO, bgosh.
How man can go in raptures
Ger wet pants and skeeter bites
Is past all understanding
To the man no fish delights
But to us jolly fishermen
We do not care dang
If the old world calls us nutty-
Just let the world ego hang"
Now this doughty northern nimrod
Is a fisherman for sure
And catches fish and fish and fish
On his rod and reel and lure.
| know he is a fisherman
With expert cast and pull
Because he told that whopper
About his basket full.

The first serious injury of the local

first quarter of the game, when Henry

from the field and on careful inspec-

collar bone.
Tech scored in the first quarter

field goal from the 30-yard line, and
in the final period the Manual Train

point with Il kick.

FOOT BALL SECRETS
Sol Metzger-
To Receive Ball When Kicking.

When the kicker lines up approx
mately 10 yards back of his center on
"a kick formation he always extends
is going to kick or not. or whether he
is going to receive the ball or not.
Otherwise, the opponents would soon
be able to tell the kind of play that
was going to be run off. The man in
this position opens his hands at the
point where he wishes the center to
pass him the ball. They are the tar
get for the center to pass TO.
The common practice of players in
this position is to hold the hands
high, directly in front of the face.
That Is wrong. The correct position
for the extended hands is in front OF
the kcker's waistline. The reason is
apparent. Few centers are so accu-
rate on this long 10-yard pass in the
excitement of a game as to place the
ball in the kicker's hands. So allow
ance must be made for error.
If the hands are held high and the
center overShoots them on the pass
the ball is likely to go sailing over the
kicker's head. Bad passing like this
has lost practically every team one or
more big games. Keep the hands waist
nigh. Then, If the center passes high
he would have to be decidedly wild to
throw the ball over the kicker's head
Teams using the right system rarely
suffer from having the ball passed
over their kicker's head
