take pride in football teams which have won
a series of Ia games against the toughest
opponents this section of the state offers.
1t is credit to the men who teach the grid
sport, their methods; the parents who have
reared the smart, husky youngsters who
take part and to the city which gives its
support. !,
More important than the victories,
however, is the manner in which they are
won. We have never seen an instance where
unsportsmanlike conduct was either encour
aged or permitted, and we might add at
tempted, on the field by Redwood Falls
team The policy has been to hit hard and
bear up under the breaks, no matter how
bad they may be.
The coaches have been mindful that
while they attempt to develop football per-
lection, the best they can hope for is that
each team member will do his best. We have
seen coaches of other teams meet players
pulled out of the game with TRADE of YER
bal abuse which indicates clearly that the
coach has lost sight of the purpose of the
game and the youthfulness of the lads par
ticipating. Such tactics reflect strongly on
the coach and the school he represents and
generally leave the impression that they are
adopted to camoufage the coaches own
shortcomings.
The victory string has grown with
each game and possibly will continue for
some time. On the other hand it may be
terminated against weaker opponent
should the breaks suddenly pile up against
us. The true test of craftsmanship is not
that we can win gracefully but that when
defeat comes, as it must eventually, it is
accepted with equal gameness.

takes an interest in the improvement of
highway II in the following article:
After studying road map of Min
nesota, and having just returned from
fishing trip in that state, we have
been wondering if the reason the high
way commission of that state has failed
to surface the so miles of U. S. No. II
between Window and Redwood Falls,
is because the highway doesn't lead to
the Twin Cities. We have heard of
such programs before.
This is not new complaint on highway
departments generally, that the majority of
the good roads lead to the large cities, nor
is the criticism entirely without foundation
However the fact that work is being started
on a new bridge on the route, at Sanborn
gives credence to the current report that the
contract for grading of II will be let this
fall with work to be completed in the early
spring. If this be true, Redwood Falls and
Redwood county as well as our many visit
ors are deeply appreciative.
