Beyond realization of the cher

reach that day when almost every
item of football technique he has
drilled his players in for weeks,
suddenly bears fruit in stellar
playing, Coach Obermeyers' big
thrill in the victory, a birthday
present on his twenty-ninth yard

ce of Louis Coubal who was only
in short time but whose play
was outstanding even on team

The game was only seconds old
when Redwood took the lead.

TEAM HITS PEAK FOR
TOUGHEST GAME;
5 STRAIGHT

Reaching the peak that every
coach dreams of for the crucial
game, the Redwood Falls Cardin-
ais ripped and burst through the
touted Montevideo line Friday
night to roll up 26 to 6 victory.
Previously unscored on in five
games, the Monte team had the
range and speed for which it has
been acclaimed but it was no
match for the red and white ma
chine once its knee-action, free
wheeling and center-poise got to
functioning simultaneously. Great
holes opened and interference
smacked down the secondary as
the Redwood backs, with Paffrath
doing most of the carrying,
smashed through for frequent
gains.
They say that Minnesota's sys-
tenn under Bierman is not to have
touchdown plays but to develop
play series which push over the
needed scores. Redwood simpli-
fed the system considerably In its
fifth straight victory when three
plays yielded an average of A
yards for three touchdowns-
From end to end and through
the entire backfield the team ex-
hibited new team work and un-
derstanding of the game. Man for

Gate Receipts
4 Times Last
Years Totals
4 HOME GAMES BRING
$500 AVERAGE
GROSS

Gate receipts at the first four
night games on the Redwood
Falls High school home schedule
were more than four times the
total realized from the four day
games on the 1885 schedule, Sup
erintendent Reede Gray stated
this week.
In four games last year the
school took in S178.90 which was
divided as follows: Olivia game,
$54.00; Window, S24.30; Marshall,
$7210 and Glencoe, $28.5O.
This year the season opened
with the inaugural of the lighted
athletic field which brought a
record gate of $274.35. This was
the Tracy game. The following
week Redwood played Window,
receipts falling to $173.90 which
was almost identical with the
figure for the third home game on
consecutive Friday nights, the
Hutchinson encounter which
brought $173.85.
The figures for the Montevideo
game were not complete early
this week because Montevideo
had not returned its report on
student sales but $161.60 was al
ready in and outstanding tickets
were expected to make the total
about the same as the second and
third game.
The total for four games stood
at $733.70 with the money still
due from Montevideo likely to
push the total over the $500 mark
for foul game average of $500
each.
The re-arrangement of the Sch
edule gives Redwood Falls i've
home games this season, the next
home game and the seasons final
contest being the Springfield
game here Armistice day. Crowds
for the holiday contest should
compare well with earlier games
and possibly bring the years gate
to the $1,000 mark, making it
possible to defray a large part of
the expense of installing the
lights.
The school has been fortunate
in weather, nights having been
dry and reasonably warm so far.
A dust storm the evening of the
Window game was unpleasant
but did not seriously reduce the
crowd. A winning team also
swelled gate receipts although ii
is pointed out that last years team
won all four home games, making
the comparison a fair one.

New Ulm Upset Leaves Cardinals at Tor
Only United
andUnbeaten
Team inLoop
GLENCOE, SPRINGFIELD
AND OLIVIA REMAIN
ON SCHEDULE

Redwood Falls High school has
the only undefeated and united
football team in the Little Ten
conference, following the upset of
the touted New Ulm eleven IA to
13 by an inspired Hutchinson ag-
gregation Friday night.
The elimination of New Ulm
left only one other undefeated
squad in the conference, the
Sleepy Eye Indians who played to
a scoreless tie with Glencoe sew
eral weeks ago. Should both the
Indians and the Cardinals remain
unbeaten through the remainder
of the season, the Cardinals
would have a prior claim to the
title.
Redwood Falls chances of con-
tinuing unbeaten through the
three remaining games are excel
lent, fans believe, although Coach
Obermeyer refuses to concede his
team much more than an even
break in any of the three remain
ing games. "It's late in the sea-
son now," he reminds those who
tend toward over-confidence,
''some of the underdogs have inn
proved considerably in recent
games and will not be nearly SO
easy as comparative scores indi-
cate. Look what some of the
teams we have beaten easily have
done to strong opponents since"
This week Redwood Falls goes
to Glencoe Friday afternoon to
meet an old time foe who has
been kicked around good deal
this season but was strong enough
to tie the Sleepy Eye team.
Among its poorer showings was
crushing 80 to 0 defeat by New
Ulm.
Next week Redwood plays at
Olivia Wednesday afternoon, the
game having been moved forward
because of MEA in the Twin Cit
les which teachers. and coaches
will attend. olivia is not con-
ference foe and has not made an
impressive record but naturally
is pointing toward knocking over
its powerful neighbor.

The Fielders stand at the bottom
of the Little Ten heap with five
defeats in row but they have
not forgotten the 18 to IL upset
handed them by the Cardinals
last season when the Little Ten
title was almost within their grasp.
If Springfield is to win game

that Redwood may be the victim.

CHAIRMAN III. C.. LAU OF
COUNTY UNIT CITES
PROGRESS

Definite arrangements for pay
ment of 90 per cent of the total
agricultural conservation pay
mentS to farmers in Redwood
county who are participating in
the program are being made, ac-
cording to word received from
the state committee by H. c. Lau,
chairman of the county agricul-
tural conservation association. Z
The Redwood county chairman
said: "The announcement by
the state committee that it has re-
ceived word from the Agricultur-
al Adjustment administration in
Washington that the initial in
stallment of 80 per cent of the
total payments for the 1886 pro-
gram will be made as soon as
practicable makes us all realize
how much progress has been
made on this program in spite of
the necessarily late start on it.
The old AAA benefit payment
program was suddenly interrupt
ed January 6, 1886, by the Hoosac
Mills decision of the United
States supreme court declaring
the program unconstitutional. 1t
was not until March that the new
program under the terms of the
Soil Conservation and Domestic
Allotment act could even begin to
get under way.
One hundred, twenty thousand
farmers in Minnesota will par
ticipate in the benefit of this first
80 per cent payment on the 1886
program. The total amount re-
ceived by them will be between
S10,000,000 and $15,000,000. In
this county there are 900 farmers
participating who are eligible for
payment. Under the old program
operating in 1895 there were co.
0U0 farmers participating in Min
nesota who received a total of
some 100000. 1t is plain then
that there is much larger particI-
patton in the 1886 program and
that more farmers are getting an
opportunity to share in the plan
ming of their future.
Farmers in this county who
have been working closely with
the Agricultural Conservation
program realize that it is highly
important to take time and
thought so that the 1897 program
will fit still more closely to local
needs. This year we had late
start, we have made real pro-
gress, and now the thing to do is
to plan carefully for the 1887 pro-
gram"
Word from Harry S. Muir,
chairman of the state committee
at st. Paul, is that the state COM
mittee has established an audit
ing section to check applications
before submission to the federal
general accounting office in st.
Paul where final check will be
made. The applications will then
be sent to the disbursing office in
Minneapolis where payments will
be authorized and checks mailed
to the treaSurerS of the county
conservation associations for dis
tribution to the producers parti-
cipating in the program.

RitesTodayfor
John Keachie
Creamery Man First Came
To City in 1906 From
Morton

Funeral services will be held at
2 p. m. today at the home here
for John B. Keachie, resident of
Redwood Falls at various times
since 1906, who died Monday
morning of a heart ailment. He
had been confined to his bed for
about a month.
Rev. j. P. Linn of the Presby-
terian church will have charge of
services at the home and the Ma
sonic lodge will conduct the rites
at the grave.
Mr.. Keachie was born January
10, 1867 at Sheffield, Ontario,
where he grew to manhood.
About 1890 he moved to Dexter,
Iowa, where he was in the cream
cry business for several years.
In 1904 he bought the creamery
at Morton which he operated for
two years before coming to Red
wood Falls where he operated the
old Redwood creamery across the
tracks for about two years. He
sold out after an accident in
which his arm was crippled, due
to torn ligaments in his back and
shoulder.
The injury healed after year
and he re-entered the creamery
business at Minneapolis. Later
ne operated creamery at Elk
ton, South Dakota. Shortly after
the death of p. j. Kolbet he came
mere and was employed at the
Kolbet Dairy several months. He
has been employed part of the
time by the H. j. Kolbet cream
cry recently.
He leaves Mrs. Keachie, whom
he married 40 years ago this De-
cember, and a daughter, Mrs.
Eva Carr of Redwood Falls. Four
sons make their homes in widely
separated cities, Paul in Minnea-
polls, Floyd in New York, Bruce
in Chicago and Ivan in New Or
leans. He also leaves brother,
James of Basin, Wyoming and
two sisters, Mrs. Mcqueen of
Gait, Ontario and Mrs. Osborn
Howell of ST. George, Ontario.

Undefeated in IL straight
games, dating back to the open
ing contest last year and unbeat-

string stretching back to the
opener two years ago. This is the
record of the Redwood Falls
Cardinals under Coach Earle
Obermeyer, ably assisted by Guy
Karnes in 1884 and Ben Tonn and
Eilief Miller in 1885 and 1886.
Sixteen victories, four defeats
and one tie is the record for the
three year period. Three of the
defeats came in 1884 when New
Ulm and Window downed the
slow-starting Cards in the first
two games of the season and
Glencoe later, pushed over a one
touchdown triumph. The tie game
also came that year, Redwood IL
and Tracy IL on Armistice day.
incidentally in that Window
defeat, the Red and White was
torn by ineligibilities, so much so
that 135 pound '.Pooch" Lauter-
bach, then an eighth grader, was
detailed to play fullback against
1875 pound Lawrence Buhler, now
an important cog in the Golden
Gopher machine.
The 1885 season was far more
to the coaches liking, only one
setback blotting the records, that
in the second game of the year
when Tracy was the victor there
6 to O. So far this season the
Cardinals have had no setbacks
and prospects are good that Glen
coe, Olivia and Springfield can be
disposed of to run the string to
IA straight wins, and IL straight
on the home field.
In total points, the Cardinals
have bested their opponents 1913
to 148 in the three seasons. So
far this year the record is liz to

Sane Speeds on City's Main
Highways Aim of DriOe

A drive against Speedsters
within the Redwood FAILS limits
was begun Saturday nigh by au-
thcrities who prGsrise- sses
and unceasing campaign to rid
the city of the fast-driver menace.
Fourteen highway signs, most
of them 80 mile speed limit
warnings, will be placed on Red
wood Falls streets soon, the state
highway department informed T.
F. Reed Jr. of the county safety
committee last week.
The sign placement is the re-
suit of work on the part of the
committee and other public
spirited citizens to cut down
speeding within the city limits.
Thirty mile speed warnings
will be placed at the west end of
the bridge and opposite the Red
wood Falls greenhouse to cut
down the possibilities of acci-
dents on the bridge parkway ap-
proaches. They will also be in
stalled on the Morgan road at the
outskirts of town, on Fourth
street at Mill and at the intersec-
ton of highway II and Broad
way.
City officials and members of
the state highway patrol said
that the 80 mile speed limit will
be rigidly enforced.
Another sign will designate the
junction of highways II and 10
and will be placed in front of the
Gandrud Creamery. Il
State highway officials pointed
out that, because of the possibili-
ties of rear collisions, they prefer
to control speed rather than in
stall stop signs. c. H. Getchen of
the department recently made
city traffic survey at the request
of the safety council and recon-
mended the signs.
It is the intention of authorities
to rid the city of speeding. If the
81 per mile over the allowed
speed limit and the suspension of
drivers license to which the
speedster is also liable is not suf-
ficient, they said, more stringent
punishment will be meted.
The city ordinance adopts the
state statutes on speed. Limits are
20 miles an hour in the residen-
tial district, Is in business district
and at intersections and turns. BY
state law a speed of 80 miles an
hour is allowed on highways II
19 and SO where they run through
town. This limit will also be rig
idly enforced.
Myron Fuhr of Seaforth was
arrested by police chief C. E.
Johnson Saturday night and
brought before Judge T. F. Reed
Jr. Monday morning, charged with
driving at an excessive rate of
speed. The policeman said he had
rounded the corner at Jepp's Pure
Oil station at 40 miles an hour,
driving a sedan containing five
other passengers.
Fuhr plead guilty and was fined
$50, the amount being computed
at the rate of 81 mile for every
mile over the speed limit. Be
cause he was an out-of-town man
and authorities feel that they
should "clean up their own back
yard" before prosecuting nom
-eSidents, small part of the fine
