UNUSUAL circumstance
arose recently on the LINKS at
East Potomac Park. Sam Miller
and H. Graham were matched
In fOur.ball competition against
Ed Burns and John Flynn.
The foursome had reached the
eighth green, and the score stood
all even. Burns ball lay a few
feet from the cup in two shots,
Millers' ball was just off the green.
He attempted to chip to the pin,
hitting his opponents ball and holed
1t out. Burns claimed his ball was
down in two, and dispute arose as
to who won the hole.
Now under the rules in match
play for twosomes the ball would
have been counted holed out in two
strokes. but in foursome play the
rule differs. Under the rules for
threesome, best.ball, and four.ball
matches. Rule plainly states;
ANY player may have any ball
in the match lifted or played at
the option of its owner, If he con.
siders that it might interfere with
or be of assistance to A player or
side, but this should he only donR
before the player has played his
stroke.
Miller should have requested the
ball be played or lifted, before his
chip to the pin, especially if the
ball lay in line of play. Rule 2
covers the case at hand, however,
and states: IF players ball move
any other ball in the match, the
moved ball must be replaced as
near as possible to the spot where
it lay, without penalty"
Burns is required under the
rules to replace his ball In
fOursOme competition and was
Dllylng three after replacing
the ball. This rule obtains be.
cause there are no stymies in
fOnr.balI play.
William s. Corby playing with l..
A. Snead at Columbia yesterday
registered a three on the par 4

not decided the makeup of his
starting five. Capt. Forrest Bur-
CESS alone is sure to be seen in his
original forward post. Dick Castell,
who has appeared as guard, may
start at WoodWard's front place.
Castell has shown adept ability in
shooting. and Coggins believes he is
more valuable as a forward.
Nelson Colley, Ben Burch and
Duvall Lemon will take care of the
remaining three positions, but it is
not known just where they will be
stationed. Any may be used as a
center, with the remaining pair
filling the guard places. Ken Fischer
may also be used as a guard,

Club are of the opinion that Hugh
Saum is doing a lot of boosting IN
the news columns and about the
club. The truth Of the matter IS
Hugh was formally high chief OF
the Boosters Club, at Columbia, and
1t looks like he is trying to unseat
his successor Albert Mackenzie, and
regain the throne he vacated.
Fred Mcleod said If Hugh,
through his constant boosting, was
elected chief again the club could
not count upon him as mediator"

The Purpose of School Notes.

The Purpose OF School Notes.
The publishing of school notes not
only presents to the public what is
going on III the school, but it gives
the students a chance to express theil
opinions, to mold public sentiment
and to gain the support of the com.
munity for the school; it develops re.
sponsibility and leadership on the
part of the student and through his
endeavors increases the "stay-in.
school" interest and encourages
school enterprises and activities.
School notes should not be limited
to the larger schools for every school
has It's noble deeds, whether great OF
small, which must be made known
Every school is doing great things fol
the future vacations, because it trains
the students to better principles and
ideals. AS the public supports the
schools financially, we ought to see
to it that it appreciates these inval-
liable institutions. How can a school
better make known is deeds than
through school notes?
Speakers Appear Before Assembly
Mr.. Briggs, who is the Field Secre-
tary of Carleton College, spoke to
the Senior High School Assembly on
Monday morning on the subject,
"The Value of a Higher Education"
He pointed out the benefits of high
err education in this very interesting
talk.
Wednesday morning during the
twenty minute period Rev. j. w. il
rack addressed the Senior High
School Assembly. His topic was
Science and Religion" He showed
plainly the distinction between the
dangerous and safe side of science
and its relationship with religion.
Class Room Notes
Drawing fungi and bacteria in BIZ
ology Laboratory is quite a task as
we must learn to use the microscope
and use it correctly. Most pupils re-
ceive their greatest difficulty in reg
istering the picture in their minds.
Because of this difficulty the draw
ings often differ decidedly and show
individuality.
The American History Glasses have
just completed study of the Jeffer-
sonian period of American History.
At present they are making a special
study of the Westward Movement;
using Vests History of the Ameci-
can People" as their basic text.
Miss Jacobsen's French class
finds French newspapers to be a good
tonic for stimulating interest. Each
student is a subscriber to the lie
Petit Journal (The Little Journal) !,
a French publication containing 4
digest of news and also tells of
events occurring in France.
The Social Science classes recently
completed the section of their text
dealing with Social Problems. They
are now acquainting themselves with

with Sleepy Eye was won by the local
lads to the tune of to thereby
completing the season with 1872
points to our credit, to our opron-
ents 80. This scoring included two
wins each over Springfield and Mil
roy. Of the six scheduled games the
local team won 1, tied and lost 3
The scoring was Redwood Falls 49,
opponents 72.
Two Redwood boys received hon.
orable mention on the West Central
All+Star Team, namely, Joe Corbett
and Tom Finn, at end and quarter
positions respectively.
Now let us look at the season from
the point Of view of material devel-
oped for next season. Let US sup
pose that Gordon Bravinder again
fills the center position with Bertram
Scott and Gerald Albright at the
guard positions; that would leave
Arnett and Campbell to act at the
tackle posts or in other words a line
averaging IT'S pounds from tackle to
tackle.
How about the backs? Here we
will have Tom Finn at quarter;
Louie Betlach at full, with Ward
Cuff and Gilbert johnson each at the
position of half. This combination
with the development of two ends
should easily over-shadow any record
made by an "R" team since the 1918
and 1919 days when football was a
game of 1902 backing in Redwood.
Whether we win or lose let US al
ways have cause to say, "Our boys
fought until the last minute, and
what more shall we expect?

Students Observe Shubert Week
Since the week of November 18th
to oath was nationally recognized as
''Shubert Week." Miss Denzel, our
musical director, conducted pro-
gram appropriate to the occasion in
our Assembly Room November 23rd
After a few remarks by Miss Denzel
about the eminent composer, Shub-
ert, a delightful piano duet was Of
fered by Misses Gertrude Smith and
Janice Pugh. The Girls Glee Club,
composed of thirty-six voices, rend-
cred Shubert's "Serenade." Every
one was pleased at the appearance of
two of our talented alumnae, Misses
Avis Kvello and Diantha Kuester,
who played sketches from Shubert's
Unfinished Symphony" After fur
Their comment by Miss Denze!. "Blos-
som Time" was played by Blanche
Newman and Mable Wilcox as vio-
lin duet. Mildred Wilcox accompan-
led them at the piano.
Every member of the high school
pronounced this unique and instruc-
tive program a great success, and
everyone feels as though he had gain
ed much by Miss Denzel's effort in
producing such an interesting and
pleasing diversion as this proved to
be.

then he would realize that it is not
the amount of time one has, but how
one spends it! Who has more than
"a hours day? Ha! the answer is
inevitable. Yet, we hear those fail
ures continually whining that they
haven't time. Take heed of the time
and evaluate it, dear failure, and
then call myself a success.
