pecial pleasure in a remarkable show
Of line strength.
Coach Ted Cox used his second
string men throughout the first half
and, although scoring only one drop
kick, beauty from difficult angle
by Brooks, clearly outplayed the
visitors at every stage.
The regulars got into it at the
opening of the second period and
scored within two minutes after the
kickoff when Lawrence Dawson car
ried the ball 48 yards to Luther's s.
yard line and Quandt plunged off
tackle for the remaining distance.
A heavy rain caused constant
fumbling and there was no more
scoring until in the fourth quarter
Luther fumbled on her 30-yard line,
River Falls recovering the ball and
Lawrence Dawson circled Luther's
left end for touchdown.
Soon after the next kickoff Lowell
Dawson, evading or brushing off a
half-dozen would-be tacklers, ran 45
yards for the final touchdown, and
Pat Ingli kicked goal, bringing the
total to o.

MATT SHADE RETIRES
AFTER LONG SERVICE

"River Falls; River Falls; don't
forget your packages; River Falls"
Who in this whole community
young or old, has not heard Matt
Shade sing out the above refrain;
Matt, who has been brakeman on the
local branch of the Omaha for thirty
eight consecutive years.
No more will the passengers, all
staunch friends Of Matt, hear him
sound off, his patient warnings, for
Matt is through, retired on pension
which took effect October l.
Matt is seventy years of age, and
is retiring not on account of i'll
health, but because he most certain
~ is entitled to a real vacation. And
it is to be vacation with pay for the
remainder Of his life.
The following item of Mats long
service are taken from Monday eve
tling's issue of the st. Paul Dispatch,
In which Mats picture appeared
with feature article.
When he entered the service, in
1887, there was just one crew on the
ElIsworth-River Falls branch and
train they manned consisted of an
engine, a combined baggage and
smoking car and one coach. Mike
j. Towey was the conductor.
Also, he was the boss" He hired
his brakemen and Matt was one of
them. Wendell S. Dodge was the
other. George f. Nelson was the
baggagemen. Mike Fitzgerald, now
dead, was the engineer. Frank Wood
fired. They were the Omaha railroad
at Ellsworth.
Champion Jigger, Whistler
WAen they were Sin" they stop
ped at the Keith House. 1t was =
real hice hoteel, according to Matt,
even if it did lack few Of the
modern conveniences now taken for
granted. In fact, there was not a
telephone nor an electric light in the
whole town of Ellsworth in those
days.
But it was "on the run" that Matt
acquired fame and friends. He was
and still is-a champion dancer and
jigger, whistler of note and "mix-
err unexcelled. He knew the name of
every man, woman and offspring
along the line and no one ever rode
on the train without becoming one
Of Mats friends.

Manion showed steady improvement
in directing the play at quarter.
Hagestad's work at tackle was es-
pccially brilliant.
All the subs got into the game,
and there were also some try-out
