of the marriage at Sacramento, Cali
fornia, of Miss Myrtle E. Hedloff to

Der Is. Regarding the marriage the
Sacramento Sun had the following to
say:
Due to their prominence in church
and civic circles, the marriage of
Miss Myrtle E. Hedloff and William
G. Stone, who will plight their troth
today at nigh noon, is Of interest
to an unusually wide circle of friends
in this city. The ceremony will be
simple and impressive, and will be
read by DR.. Sherman L. Divine di-
rectly following the morning service at
Westminster.
"After DR.. Divine has completed the

work in building up the Eighth dis

tinued efforts as chairman OF the
state rehabilitation committee. That

the legion has no place for differ

of Memorial and ArmiStice days,
proper and adequate care for the sick

DID YOU KNOW THE FIRST
CHRISTMAS TREE WAS OAK?

Christmas would not be Christmas
for many of us without a Christmas
tree-one of those pines or spruces or
frs, whose shiny green needles add so
much to the colorful Yuletide season.
But the Christmas tree was not always
an evergreen. In fact, the first Christ
mas tree was an oak! There's an in
teresting legend about that first
Christmas tree which comes down to
us from the earlist days of the Christ
ian, era and it is only one of the many
interesting tales connected with this
symbol of Christmas.
If you would know what some OF
those tales are, be sure to read "The
Story of the Christmas Tree" by Elmo
Scott Watson in this issue Of The
Miner.

HIGHWAY POOR PLACE
FOR CHRISTMAS TREE

No permits for the erection of COM
ways where they pass through cities
or villages, will be granted by the
Minnesota Highway department The
same rule will be followed as last year,
and all requests for permits will be
refused.
The ruling is entirely in the inter-
est of public safety. The first years
the trunk highway plan was in effect,

permits for community trees were
granted in number of places, but this
resulted in several accidents

mits, the municipality may be liable
for any accidents which may occur.
either to pedestrians gathering around
the tree or to people driving on the
highway, it is pointed out.
In nearly all cities and villages there
are side streets or parks which are
better suited for the community tree
than streets carrying trunk highway
traffic. The department has no desire
to discourage the custom of gathering
around community trees, but it does
not wish to see the trees placed where
they may lead to accidents.

CITY ELECTION
TAME AFFAIR

Surface enthusiasm was at mini
mum in the campaign for mayor and
three aldermen which eliminated in
the election on Tuesday Of Ernest W..
Hanson for mayor and Frank Veranth,
John KapSch and Harry Homer for
Aldermen for the coming two years.
While surface indications showed a
lifeless campaign, the candidates were
busy however and personally visited
the voter to further his candidacy. The
newly elected officers will take office
after the first of the year.
Mayor-elect Hanson is no stranger
to the position he was chosen to fill
on Tuesday. He served one term as
mayor and was succeeded by M. j.
Murphy who for the past two years
has filled the position most acceptably,
but for business reasons, refused to
again become a candidate. Mr.. Han
son is a young man with push and
enterprise and will acceptably fill the
place.
Aldermen Veranth and Homer were
reelected and their reelection goes
to prove that thir administration of
the positions was looked upon with
favor by the voters. John KapSch, the
newly elected Alderman is a new man
in politics. He is a successful young
business man and fully capable. of be-
ing a successful Alderman.
A total of 2129 votes were cast in the
four precincts of the city. The polls
closed at o'clock instead of 9 as in
previous elections and the official re-
turns were made by the several boards
before 10 o'clock The closing at 8
o'clock demonstrated that still another
hour could be chopped off the voting
time and still not hamper the voter.
The vote in the four precincts was

(FOOtball Editor. Cleveland Pres

Cleveland, O.. Dec. THE foot
ball played in the Western Confer
ence during the past season was gen.
orally of high caliber, but for soE,e
r ason outstanding figures were
few. Such st-division teams as
Illinois, Wisconsin,, Iowa and Mime
sofa were dependent upon unusually
fine balance Of strength throughout
the squad and excellent reinforce
ments, rather than the individual
brilliance of small group of stars.
This condition made for better
football-but it complexities the task
of selecting an All-Big Ten team.
Was No Grange
There was no Grange las there is
not likely to be for a good many
years., no Duke Slater, nor a Joes-
ting. In fact, from the entire con-
ference ensemble, only one player
stood out head and shoulders above
the pack. He is Wesley Fesler Of
Youngstown, O., Ohio States sopho-
more end, who was not only the most
consistently sparkling performer in
the midwest, but is as great flank
er as the modern game yet has I'M
covered.
Fesler is not the big rangy type
that coaches are selecting these days
+. their wingmen. He is tall enough
standing within a fraction of an
inch Of six feet-but his weight Of
173 pounds makes his appear stringy
and fragile. Nothing could be more
distant from the truth; there are few
men who are able to keep going at
the pace Fesler does.
Down field under kicks, he was a
whirling dervish Of intense intelli-
gent action. Great speed. excep-
tional skill in tackling and ability
to go get" passes combined to make
him the ideal end.
His running mate is Tanner of
Minnesota, who, like Fesler, is clever
in the open and a hard man to fool
defensively. His size also stands
him in good stead.
The tacklers-Nowack Of Illinois
and Pommerening Of Michigan-and
the guards-Gibson of Minnesota
and Westra Of Iowa-are the types
best suited to present-day line play.
Nowack and Pommerening have size
and speed that is demanded to with
stand slants At their positions be-
hind heavy interference and 1t the
same time can step out to help the
ends when necessary.
Gibson, Westrs Good
To lesser degree, the guards must
cover ground quickly to meet op-
posing shift plays. Gibson and Yves
ira can do this, and also have been
pulled out to assist in interference.

played rare defensive sense and, al
though the Buckeye offense did not
make full use of his talents, showed
he was as good ball carrier as any
on the squad.
Bennett and Glasgow were both
power" runners. They were not
noticeably shifty. although the form
er could step through broken field
with surprising agility, depending on
their strength to run over a tackler
rather than past him.
Holmer, the fullback, is a distinct
departure from the customary plung-
ing No. back. He was a re-made
halfback, but his value to Northwest
ern was no less than that Of any bat
tering-ram fullback the Big Ten has
known in its history.
The Purple captain was one Of the
really outstanding backs Of the sea-
son. A phantom at breaking away
from tacklers, a finished passer, a
magnificent punter and the best de-
fensive man in the backfield, he
outshone such players as McLain of
Iowa and Hunbert Of Illinois.

Showdown on Eligibility En-
forcement Expected to Be
Called Today =

Chicago, Dec. -(AP) With
such highly combustible subjects as
PROSECUTING and eligibility providing
material for fireworks, Big Ten ath-
letic directors, coaches and faculty
advisers assembled for their annual
sports conclave in Chicago today.
While there had been no specific
information of q blow-off, rumors
were thick that at least two univer-
sites, Chicago and Illinois, were
ready to demand a showdown on
the conference policy of obtaining
athletes and on enforcement of the
eligibility rules.
Matters of policy were expected
to consume virtually all the discuss
sion of football and basketball
coaches, who already have drawn up
schedules for 1929. Coaches in mi
nor sports, however, had the long
task Of schedule making ahead Of
them.
The cases of Mayes McLain,
1owas charging Indian fullback,
and Allan Holman, Ohio State quar-.
terback, who came to the Big Ten
after playing football at other coll
leges, were expected to be decided or
else referred to the committee on

eral protests have been made
against these two players.
Indications that DR.. John Wilce.

may announce his future plans at
the two-day conference also created
considerable interest.
The faculty committee was to
award the indoor and outdoor track
and field championships and set
dates for the events. The place and
dates of the indoor swimming cham.

Seven of the starting 10 players

other two North Dakotans who will
be on the floor when the referee
blows his starting whistle are Fred

Incidentally. Valley City will also
have its chance to howl on the same
night.
Four Are Hiliners
Four Of the starting 10 players
hail from Valley City, the North
Dakota basketball farm. They are
Levy Lee, Harold Eberly. and Vic
Brown, center. guard. and forward
respectively on the "Nomads of the
North" outfit. and Wally Norgaard.
North Dakota, under the guidance
Of Coach Glenn Letich. hopes to
wrest its first basketball victory
from Minnesota. Gloomy Glenn
has his five veterans who won the
loop title last year back in uniform
this year. For his starting lineup
he will use AL Letich, Yankton, S.
OAK. and Vic Brown at forwards,
with Lee at the pivot post. Eberly
and Captain Paul Boyd, Boulder.
Colo, will be at he guard posts.
And the Flickertail mentor will
have more than half a dozen men for
reserve who are almost as efficient
as the veteran five.
Coach Dave Macmillan, of the
Gophers, will use Norgaard and
Harry Schoening, another Beginner,
at the forward posts. Fred Hovde
and Captain George Bitterness will
be stationed at the guards with Glen
Williams at center. The last three
are veterans of last years squad.
Nodaks Always Lost
North Dakota has never won from
Minnesota, though it has lost two
contests at Minneapolis by one point.
Hope for victory is running high
among the students at Grand Forks.
Minnesota this year will attempt
to hoist considerably its winning
average of last year. Macmillan
will have two veterans to shove in
to the contest if necessary, Bob Tan

Both are guards.
The Minnesota game is the last
game before the six-foot "Nomads
Of the North" take their holiday
