Morton New Ulm is to present the
argument tonight, Tuesday,, and as
the locals trimmed the Frankfurters
on their home floor by a narrow mar
gin, the struggle should present
plenty of thrills.
The second game of the week will
take place Thursday evening, when
Morton will be offered up to the
soldiers. The managers of the Red
wood and Morton teams have been
sparring for dates all season, ard
have but lately come to terms. A
heavy forfeit has been placed by each
team, which will insure neither the
Thursday game or the return game
at Morton will be cancelled. Gaasch,
the former Company L tosser, will
argue against his one-time team
mates in this battle, and it is re-
ported that Morton has banded to-
gether heavy aggregation with the
intention on slipping one over on
the soldiers. Thursday evening at
