Redwood Falls Man Is Instant
ly Killed When His Car
Crashes Hay Rack
MILITARY FUNERAL
HELD HERE TODAY
jury Gives Verdict of Accident
al Death Caused From Board
Hitting Victim

An automobile crashing into rack
loaded with straw caused the instant
death of Herman L. Joern of Redwood
Falls last Saturday night. The ac-
cident occurred on the Morton hill
east of Redwood Falls at approx
mately TOO o'clock. Joern, who had
been in Morton on business, started
to Redwood Falls. Part way up the
Morton hill Hugo Wederath, farm
er of Morton, was driving to the
east with load of straw.
Mr.. Joern, evidentally not seeing
the team or load of straw, crashed
into the left horse killing it instantly.
The left corner of the straw rack hit
the car nearly center, turning the car
completely around so that it was fac
ing east.
Another car came along and stop
ped. Mr.. Wederath called for help
and stated that the driver should look
into the wrecked car. Here Joern
was found unconscious, although he
was thought to have been breathing.
DR.. B. P. Finn and Sheriff L. j. Kise
were called but before they could ar
rive Mr.. Joern was dead.
A coroners jury declared that death
was caused by part of the rack hit
ting the victim in the head, causing
a fractured skull.
The services of Mr.. Joern were held
at the Armory in Redwood Falls to-
day at 1870 P. M. in charge of the
American Legion Of Redwood Falls.
The body was placed in state in the
armory at noon today. Military SER
vices were held and were officiated
by DR.. j. P. Linn of the First Pres
byterian church.
Herman L. Joern was born in Red
wood county on May 20, 1896. He
was the son of Mrs. Bertha Joern of
Redwood Falls. On April 5, 1918 Mr..
Joern enlisted in the army and saw
overseas service from August 1918
to February 1919. He was honorably
discharged from the service and came
to Redwood Falls, where he was en-
ployed by Redwood county in build
ing roads for several years, the last
few years being employed as sales
man for Carity Motors, Inc.
In February, 1922, Mr.. Joern was
married to Katherine Macheldt of
Morton. He is survived by his wife
and three children, Lucille 7, Kath-
leen Ann A and Henry 2, his mother,
o'has been in Arizona this winter
and five sisters, Mrs. Geo. Swanson

CRISLERIC0ACHED
.BY.J. H. WlCHMAN
New Minnesota ''U" Coach In
structed in High School by
Supt. Wichman

Relative to the appointment OF
Herbert o. Crisler as head football
coach and Elton E. Wieman as assist
ant at the University of Minnesota,
Superintendent J. H. Wichman of the
Redwood Falls schools, gives bit of
history concerning the abilities, both
athletically and enthusiastically of
Fritz" Crisler.
Way back in 1914 and 1915, the
first year in several years that the
Mendoza, Illinois, High School again
went into football, Mr.. Wichman was
then a science teacher and coach at
this school. This same Crisler boy
was a junior in the Mendoza high
school at that time and was instruct
ed in several classes by Mr.. Wichman,
besides playing football, basketball
and baseball for him.
"He stands out in my mind" said
the Redwood Falls superintendent, in
recalling his experience with Crisler,
"as a high school leader; not neces-
sarily socially, but from the stand
point of dependability and character.
He was not the aggressive type, but
was quiet and unassuming, and most
of all he was not grand stand
player. A good athlete in a school
that was weak athletically, Crisler
would put himself into any sport or
school work and give his best without
expecting award"
Crisler played quarterback and end
on the Mendoza high school football
team and guard on the basketball
team under Mr.. Wichman. He was a
clean sportsman, never quibbled on
decisions, and always lived up to
training regulations.
He comes to the University of Min
nesota, not only as great coach but
also as a great student. At the Uni
versity of Chicago he was of Phi Beta
Kappa calibre in his studies while an
undergraduate, which means that he
took part in three major sports and
made an ga" average in his studies.
Mr.. Wichman sings the highest
praise for the new University coach,
stating that he was satisfying to
have around and that he made good
because he tried hard to make some
thing of himself.

Squad; Willmar Saturday

Redwood Falls high school basket
ball team downed Gaylord here Fri
dav n:,rht 1863 for the second victory
of the season over this team. Stock
toms boys elected to play cautious
offensive game and consequently the
scoring was held down. Gaylord at
tempts at scoring were conhneo al
most entirely to long shots OF which
but four of 31.attempts were success
full
The first half ended 5-3 in favor
of Redwood Falls after Laldlaw hao
connected for his basket with toss
from the corner just before the nall
way gun. Neither team showed de-
cided offense during the period with
the visiting teams lone goal coming
from a rebound and Johnson sinking
another for Redwood on an out-ot-
bounds play.
Cuff appeared in place of Johnson
in the second half while Corbett re-
placed Tom Finn and these two fresh
men came through with enough to
aid their mates in maintaining their
lead. With Redwood leading 10 at
the start of the final quarter Gaylord
rained the ball at the basket from all
distances and angles before connect
ing with a pair that put them within
striking distance.
With the return of Tom Finn to
the lineup a semi-stall game was IN
stituted and the Red and White broke
through to run the score to 10 when
,Gaylord's five-man zone defense was
drawn out. Laidlaw and Bravlnder
each rang up pair of field goals and
Cuff scored one of each variety to
carry the scoring burden for Redwood
Falls while Lemberg, stocky visiting
guard, scored five points for his team.
