Cards Battle
Marshall in
League Game
NEW ULM, SLEEPY EYE,
TIGERS VICTORS IN
EARLY TILTS

Winner in two battles with dis
trict teams this season, the Red
wood Falls Cardinals will launch
their Little Ten conference often
sive tonight at Marshall, the game
having been moved up from Fri
day to Thursday at the request of
Marshall school officials.
Marshall is looked upon as a
most formidable foe since the Tt
gers fairly smothered the Cotton
wood five under a SO to II avail
anche last week in a game which
at least proved Coach Bernie Cole
has some players who understand
dropping the sphere through the
netting.
Ten Tigers saw action and eight
of them figured in the scoring.
Apparently young Marks is the
man to watch closest for he
counted seven times from the
floor and dropped in four free
shots for a total of Is points. Tod
mem and Healy counted eight and
six respectively and the other
points were well distributed. The
Tigers will growl extra loud due
to that football trimming the
Cardinals handed them.
A pref Christmas look at title
chances of Little Ten teams is al
ways premature because the cali
bre of their opposition in pre-
liminary games is an unknown
quantity and so much can happen
in basketball when a team hits an
"off night" or an ION night" !"
things that may not be duplicated
again all season.
However here is a conference
look-around.
New sUlm expects to be the
pacemaker and perhaps is not too
optimistic in that assumption. The
Harmanites swamped Winthrop
AZ to Is in their opener and took
Gaylord 20 to 10 in stride. Red
wood plays New Ulm twice, Jam
uary Is here and February IL
there.
Although Sleepy Eye fans
haven't anything like the conf
dence in this years team they had
in last, the Indians are leading
the conference again with two
victories. They swamped Far
mont % to 9 in their opener,
which seems to indicate the Fair
les won't be title contenders and
then nosed out Springfield II to
Is. The score indicates the Field
ers may make 1t tough for title
contenders. Springfield plays at
Redwood Falls January % and
Redwood goes to Sleepy Eye Feb
ruary 5.
First 1887 opponent of the Car
dinals is Hutchinson the team
which got off to a humiliating be-
ginning. When the bigger schools
feel smaller opponent isn't like
ly to furnish presentable opposi-
ton, they frequently bill two
games with such schools per
night. Hutch did this and found
both foes too tough, Lester Prair-
lie taking the first fall 26 to "a and
Silver Lake adding to the crown
of thorns, IL to 8.
Tracy likewise got off to a poor
start, losing to the Hendricks
team IA to Is while st. James
opened with Mankato Teachers
college High school, the result of
which encounter Is not known
here. Glencoe will play its first
game Friday night when it en-
cages Minneapolis Central. It's
first conference game will be with
Hutchinson, January Is.

STATE SAFETY

w. E. Matthews, Jr., Taking
Safe Driving Pledges
in Smyrna
NEWSPAPER AMPAIGN

The Delaware Safety Council is
cooperating with the News-Journal
papers in urging Delaware's auto
mobile operators to sign the Safe
Driving Pledge and display the
windshield sticker. In order that
the citizenry of the State of Della
ware may have easy access to the
pledge cards and windshield certifi-
Gates the Delaware Safety Coun-
cils 10 Directors have agreed to
act as distributing agents. These
pledge cards may be obtained from
the following Director: William E.
Matthews, Jr., of Smyrna. The
right fundamental points in safe
driving emphasized in the Safety
Pledge are as follows:
l. Not to operate an automobile
at reckles speed, and always to be
fair to other drivers and consider
ate of pedestrians.
2. To drive on the right side Of
the highway, and to signal before
turning or stopping.
3. To stop at all STOP signs,
and not to jump traffic lights.
4. To pass other vehicles only
on straight, fiat stretches.
5. To give the right of way in
all doubtful cases.
6. To keep my vehicles in safe
condition.
Z. To reduce speed in bad
weather, at night, and in congested
areas where por road conditions so
indicate.
8. Always to watch out for chill
dren.
The campaign is a meritorious
one and will materially assist in
arousing and creating additional
safety consciousness in the minds
of our Delaware automobile operat-
ors as well as pedestrians and that,
after all, is one OF the prerequisites
to a reduction in automobile mis-
haps and autocideS.

ADVANCE OF CHEVROLET
Produces Considerable More Cars
During the Year 1885

Marked advances in industrial
safety made during 1885, in the
manufacturing plants of the Chew
rolet Motor Company, were cele-
brated Monday evening at a din
ner in the Book-Cadillac Hotel, at
which w. j. Scot, manager of the
Chevrolet Spring and Bumper
plant, Detroit. was awarded a
plaque in recognition of having
achieved the greatest improve
ment.
Chevrolet's "a manufacturing
plants showed an average improve
ment of AZ per cent, and the record
of the Spring and Bumper plant
was 81 per cent. The Forge plant,
also managed by Scott, was second
in the list with rs per cent i'm
provement. The record hung up by
the two plants under Scott's super
vision is considered especially note
worthy, inasmuch as one of these
units is. the big forge plant, a type
of operation in which industrial
safety is reputedly difficult to as
sure. Figures for the two divisions
of the contest = manufacturing
plants and assembly plants -indi-
cate that both made great head
way last year. Hugh Dean, assist
ant general manufacturing manag-
er, acted as toastmaster at the din
ner, and speakers included M. e.

$1,000 FARM FIRE UP STATE
Overheated Chimney Said Cause of
/ Blaze at Cooch's Bridge

i Blaze at COoch's Bridge
A loss estimated at $4,000, re
suited Friday, Jan. "a, when a farm
house occupied by Norman Cameth-
er, near Cooch's Bridge, was burn
ed to the ground by a fire believed
to have started from an overheated
chimney. The two-story frame
structure was valued at $4,000 and
the contents, little of which was
saved. were valued at about $500.
The fire was discovered by Mr.
! Camether, who was entertaining
guests at the time, when he smell
ed smoke. He went outside and
saw the roof in flames. He warned
his wife and guests and then went
to a neighboring farm, about one
mile away to summon firemen.
The Christiana and Newark Fire
Companies responded but because
of the icy condition of the roads
were unable to get there in time to
save the property. When they ar
rived the roof of the barn, about
100 feet away, was burning. The
firemen quickly extinguished this
blaze. They were forced to use
chemicals because of the lack of
water.
