MRS. F. N. EHAM
dies HERE TUESDAY
Aged Lady Passes Away After
Being Confined in Bed
Two Years

Mrs. F. M. Isham, for years, resi-
dent of Redwood Falls, passed away
at her home here at 200 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon, March II. The
aged lady had been confined to her
bed for approximately two years and
the cause of her death is given as
heart and kidney trouble. Mrs. Isham
has had weak heart for over 20
years. She would have been 83 years
of age on April u.
The funeral services will be held
from the Isham home on Thursday
(today) at 2:3O o'clock, with Rev.
Oscar Joneson of the Church of Christ
officiating. Interment will be made
in the Redwood Falls Cemetery.
Calista M. Hazen was born on
April 27, 1848 at Waupon, Wisconsin,
the only daughter of family of four.
In early life she, with her three
brothers were driven from their home
at Winnebago by the Indians at the
time of the outbreak. Her brothers all
served with the Union forces during
the Civil War and since that time
have preceded her in death.
On Christmas Day in 1872 she was
united in marriage to Mr.. Frank M.
Isham at Winona. To this union one
child was born. The family lived in
Winona for 13 years and went from
there to- Glendale, South Dakota
where Mr.. Isham was employed in
the lumber business. Later they NOV
ed to Redwood Falls where Mr.. Isham
became connected with the Laird
Norton Lumber company, later the
Botsford Lumber Co. She has lived
here with her husband ever since.
Three years ago Mrs. Isham re-
turned to her old farm site from
which she was driven by the Indians.
Here she found that the town of
Huntley had been built.
Mrs. Isham was lady Of unusual
charm and personality. Her normal
mood was one of smiling geniality.
She could be jovial at all times and
even during the past few years when
her hearing had failed her she was
still the sincere and jolly friend. She
helped others at all times and this
fact was better attested by what she
was and did than by what she said or
appeared. The death of Mrs. Isham
leaves breach in the common life
of Redwood Falls that will not readi-
ly be filed.
Mrs. Isham is survived by her hus-
band and her daughter, Mrs. Alex
ander Williams of Billings, Montana.
Besides her daughter, among those
from out Of town who will pay last
tribute to the deceased is Mr.. Bots
ford, Winona, president Of the Bots
ford Lumber company.
The Gazette has been requested to
announce that due to certain home
conditions the funeral services will be
held for friends of Mrs. Isham only.

center plays. At present. however,
center plays have a two-fold use.
Some teams play for possession of
the ball at center jump while others
sure Of the jump use q set Of fast
breaking plays from center ring. Play
for possession at center Jump is most
commonly used now. After getting
the ball it is passed or batted back to
the guards where theO put 1t In play
by slowly advancing - ball up to the
set defense. The diagram shows a
good formation for possession.
If a team has a very tall center, 1t
should have some established center
plays. Baskets scored from center
Jump are very demoralizing to the op-
ponents because it Is done SO easily
Center plays should be simple and few
in number. They should be of the
same type as other offensive plays
and should be well balanced as to Of
Tense and defense.
The more plays. the more signals!
One player gives the real signal while
the other players fake signals In order
to cover up the real ones. They
should be simple. easily recognized
and given in a very u~nconcerncd
manner.

having defeated Indiana, q to q. and
the Gophers having overcome Iowa

tage.
Michigan. with two victories and
one defeat. will invade Ohio State
which has broken v e in two games.
The wolverines might be given a mild
pre-game shade.
Illinois. loser in its three confer
ence contests. appears to be in for an
other defeat when Indiana invades
Champaign, but anything may hap
pen. Iowa will meet Wisconsin on the
Badgers floor. Wisconsin had a sue
cessful practice season and started its
Big Ten campaign with a victory over
Illinois. only to blow up against Ohio
State and Michigan. The Hawkeyes
were weak early in the season, but de-
veloped enough to hold Minnesota to

California Boxer Knocks New
ZeaIander From Ring;
Dempsey Is Referee

New York, Jan. 17.-(R)-Jack
Dempsey. in his modern role of ref
cree, manages to get himself into
more weird jams than he ever did as
a fighter.
The old Manassa mauler was third
man in the ring of Madison Square
Garden Friday night when Tom
Heeney vas knocked from the ring in
the third round of his 10 round match
with Max Baer and then was counted
out when he least expected it and
least needed it.
Old Tom had cuffed the cocky CAL
ifornian youngster around the ring in
the first two rounds, charging in with
with both fists flying and generally
making it embarrassing for Baer.
The third round had barely got under
way when the two battlers got them
selves all tied up In a wrestling match
along the ropes.
A few light punches sent Thomas
off balance and he sailed through the
ropes into the press box. Apparently
unhurt. Tom clambered back into the
ring and rested on n knee. all set
to take a little time to get his bear
ings before resuming the struggle.
The knockdown time-keeper. Ar
thur Donovan, momentarily forgot
he had counted two while Heeney
was outside the ring, and counted up
to eight. Then Donovan remem-
bered, added eight and two and found
they made 10, and waved Heeney
from the ring.
There was nothing Dempsey could
do. He was just as surprised as the
5000 cash customers and Heeney at
the queer ending Of the bout in which
the veteran New Zealander had put
up q much better fight than anyone
had expected him to.
Dempsey was. In the ring the night
