NAVY HOPES FOR
TWO TR|UNPHS

ANNAPOLIS, Nd. oct. 3d. The
defeat Of Pennsylvania in Philadel,
pnia Saturday has encouraged Navy
to believe there is still hope Of q
creditable season.
The Naval people now look for
ward to the game with Michigan IN
Baltimore on November 10 and with
the Princeton game, two weeks later
in Philadelphia. in the offing.
IL these two games can be
won the Midshipmen will have
taken three OF their four big
games, and though the early de.
feats win prevent high rating.
Il still can be Sid that the s0a-
son was not discreditable.
The victory Saturday was won
with a comparatively inexperienced
team, sand Naval people are happy
over the fact that nearly all Of the
players who took part in the game
will be available for one or two
more easons.
OF the eleven who started the
game against Penn, only Captain
Burke, left guard, and Wilson, right
tackle, graduate in June, as does
Clair Miller. who took Welchel's
place at quarterback.
The lineup of the team which
ingram put on the field contained
several surprises. One was the
choice of Morton at right end.
Morton had never started a varsity
game, his experience with the first
team being limited to a few minutes
in two or three games, after prac-
tically all of the other ends had
been tried. However, he played a
good game.
Jack Cannon, left half, was
the quarterback of the plebe
team last season, and Ingram
only began to break him in as
q half few weeks ago. He is
considered the hero of the game,
his fine passing making the
winning score possible, while he
did good work in other lines.
Much credit is also given Bob
Bowstrom for his fine punting and
general good work in the tackle
position. Bowstrom started with
the plebe squad last fall weighing
100 pounds and gained 80 pounds
during the season. Now he weighs
1875 and is steadily gaining. He is
also strong and active.

than on May 26 when he finished
nineteenth, a fine performance as
many a novice would have given up
in despair.
His next time out was in the
Baltimore Olympic try-Out Mara

sixth, another remarkable feat
considering the hot day and the
road conditions.

Personal Injury Verdict
Upheld by the Court
Norbert Borgerding and Insurance
Company Must Pay Victor eau
$23,500 Verdict

Judge John A. Roeser was again
upheld 10y the state supreme court
in it's decision today in an appeal
taken by the Travellers Insurance
company and Norbert Borgerding
of Melrose from a jury verdict, the
largest ever returned in Stearns
county, which gave Victor N. eau
$23, 500 for injuries sustained in an
automobile crash near Clear Lake
over one year and one-half ago.
An appeal was taken on the
ground that Judge Roeser had err
red in his charge to the jury in the
case, but the supreme court upheld
the charge in every respect. The
jury returned verdict of $4,000
in favor of eau, but on motion
Judge Roeser reduced this verdict
to $23,500.
eau was a passenger in a car
driven by Borberding at the time
of a crash on icy pavement near
Clear Lake. eau brought suit
against Borderding and the in
surance company protecting the
latter fought the case. After sew.
eral days Of trial the verdict OF
$4,000 was returned, Donohue
and Quigley fighting the case for
the plaintiff.
eau sustained fractured spinal
veretebrae in the crash. Attorney
James J. Quigley argued the case
for the winning plaintiff before the
state supreme court on the appeal
that was denied.

Laurence Nelson
Released by Court
Total of Three Years in Prison
Penalty for Wrecking Little
Sank State Bank

Lawrence H. Nelson, who was
recently discharged from the State
Reformatory at St. Cloud where
he had been the past three years
serving an indeterminate sentence
for misrepresentation of funds in
connection with the closed Little
Sank Bank, was arraigned before
Judge John B. Sanborn in the
United States Federal court, st.
Paul, on Saturday, June %.
When he was discharged from
the reformatory it was announced
that he was released to the Federal
authorities. Nelson was indicted
in the Federal court October 7,
1925, on charge of conspiracy to
violate the national banking laws.
He was arraigned June % to an
swer that charge. He pied guilty
and was sentenced by Judge San
born to serve two years in the
United States penitentiary at Leav-
enworth, Kansas. Judge Sanborn
then suspended the sentence and
placed him on probation for two
years with Rev. P. l.. Bjorne, 2722
18th Avenue South, Minneapolis.
This probably ends the case
against Nelson and he is now at
liberty. The action both of the
pardon board, releasing him from
the reformatory, and the suspen-
sion of sentence against him in
Federal court, was opposed by pc
titions signed by many citizens
from Little Sank community, but
the petitions were ignored. Rev.
Mr.. Bjorne has been very active in
behalf of Mr.. Nelson's release for
the past two years and spent con-
siderable time in Todd county
year or so ago endeavoring to per-
suade members of the jury, who
convicted Nelson, to sign petition
for his release. Our understanding
is that only one or two Of the
jury signed the petition: The
losses in connection with the
wrecking of the Little Sank bank
are still in process of adjustment
and will run into a great many
thousand dollars.

President to Speak
in State July 20h
Will Talk Briefly at Dedication of
Colvill Monument at Cannon
Falls, Goodhue County

Superior, Wis, July Upon
the request of a Minnesota delega-
ton headed by Gov. Christianson,
President Coolidge is preparing to
deliver a short ten minute speech
at Cannon Falls, Mimi, July 80.
The occasion will be the unveil-
ing of a monument to Col. William
Colvill of the First Minnesota Vol
unteer infantry which participated
in the battle of Gettysburg. With
Gov. Christensen, when he invited
Mr.. Coolidge yesterday, were Rep
resentatives Andersen, Newton,
Goodwin and Mas, all of Minneso-
ia.
After their audience with Pres
ident Coolidge, both Governor
Christensen and Representative
Newton predicted Republican sue
cess in Minnesota in the November
elections.
Minnesota, it's governor said, is
normally Republican and he had
every expectation of Secretary
Hoover's success there. He pre-
dicted that in the same balloting
Senator Henrik Shipstead, seeking
reelection on Farmer-Labor plat.
form, would be defeated by A. E
Nelson of St. Paul, regular Repub-
lican candidate for the senate.
Newton, who has agreed to be-
come head of the Republican cam
paign speakers bureau said he
would call upon all Republican SEN
ators and all members of the cab.
met to speak in the campaign. He
expected President Coolidge also
to deliver some speeches, but added
that the chief executives efforts IN
the campaign would probably be
transformations and casual.
Newton thought that national
Republican campaign headquarters
would have been better ,oca; I'd in
Chicago than in Washington. The
fcrmer city wa. f.r closer to rea,
popular sentiment than the capital
where an artificial and unrea' at
mosphere was usually created, he
said.
