beginning Friday night, October 1st
and continuing through Monday night,
October 18th, at the American Legion

Plans are progressing most salts

be the result of the concerted effort
of those who are intellectually in

The committee is meeting twice
weekly, whipping things into shape,
that there be varied program to

"rides and slides" for the kiddies and
entertainment for all. The grounds
at the new Recreation Park will be
aglow with fun for ten big nights be-

be reduced by traffic, by hills or

by rain, fog or snow. The stopping dis

DELAWARE u. S. SENATOR
BUYS BOYHOOD RESIDENCE

Senator Daniel o. Hastings, recent
senior Republican Senator from Del
aware and former Judge of the mu-
nicipal courts in Wilmington, has re-
Gently completed the purchase in East
Princess Anne district of his family's
old homestead, from the Somerset
Mortgage and Certificates Corporation
which held the property for sale. Sen
ator Hastings paid several visits to
Princess Anne recently while making
the purchase of his boyhood home and
renewed many old acquaintance there.
Reared on his fathers 100-acre farm
near West Post Office, Senator Has
tings first attended the old Backbone
road school house and the first person
he wanted to meet on his recent visit
was his former teacher, Miss Imogene
Fontane, now Mrs. George HI. Meyers.
Later, before removing to Delaware,
where his career has been so emil
nently successful, the Senator attend
ed the Washington High School and
could recall many of the episodes of
those school years back in 1887, with
his classmate, Mr.. William B. Spiva.
Concluding the purchase of his old
home, Senator Hastings said he would
Immediately repair and rebuild the
property and make it into hunting
lodge, where he and his friends would
spend at least a few weeks each year
during the hunting season. AS a
sportsman and dog fancier, he planned
among the first additions to the prop
erty a large and commodious kennel
and instructed his caretaker to plant
the fields to grass this fall and to
spend the rest of his time protecting
the game on the property.

KEEL FOR NEW FERRY
LAID AT MD. DRY DOCK

With Former Governor Emerson c.
Harrington, president of the Claiborne
Annapolis Ferry Company, among
other officials present for the event
was laid last week at the Maryland
Dry Dock Company's Fairfield plant
The first rivet was driven in the
steel girder, which eventually will be
twelve-knot craft with a passen-
ger capacity of 700, by B. Frank Sher-
man, general manager of the company
with the assistance of Billy Maher
iron-worker foreman.
The new ferry will accommodate
seventy-five automobiles in addition to
the passengers, and will be used on
the Annapolis atapeake run. It is
expected it will be launched the latter
part of December, and be in operation
next May.
The craft will be 208 feet long with
a beam of 62 feet, and will be Diesel
driven. 1t will be divided into seven
water-tight compartments, making it
virtually unsuitable, according to l..
D. Pickering, vice-president of the dry
dock firm.
Being built according to specifica-
lions of the Department of Commerce
the ferry will be fitted out at the
stem and stern with especially heavy
steel plating to enable it to pillow thru
thick ice.
After the keel-laying ceremony, Mr..
Harrington and his associates were
luncheon guests of officials of the
company building the craft.

ANOTHER BALL LEAGUE
MAY BE ON THE SHORE

The Eastern Shore may have two
baseball leagues in operation next
season. It is understood fans in sew
eral counties are discussing organiza-
ton of league, composed entirely of
local players. Persons interested in
the new league believe the games
would draw better attendance if each
county supplied its own players.
Pointing out that there are plenty
of good ball players on the Shore,
sponsors of the home league idea are
of the opinion that local fans would
take more interest in games if their
own townsmen were playing. The new
league would prohibit teams from i'm

porting players outside of their indivi-
dual counties.
Business men approached on the sub
ject are of the opinion that home
league would prove paying PROPOSE
ton. Several have indicated they
would donate trophies to be awarded
outstanding players.
Shore ball players earlier in the
season had hopes of playing on the
present league. A number were given
brief tryouts and several are said to
have made the grade" to the extent
of being allowed to play in two or
three games, but in general local play
ers were disappointed in the tryouts
afforded them.

staunch Somerset Democrat of the old

Republicanism by saying that until
the recent New Deal victory, anyone
interested in Delaware politics had to
affiliate Republicans since the Demo-

cally non-existant.

bored in deep with a mixture of
running plays in which Rivette
figured to a great degree. With a
first down on the Prairie five yard
line and only a minute and a half
to go to the half time period, the To-
Gals in a desperate attempt to safe
guard their marginal lead pulled
the pass. Suddenly a Prairie half
back swept in, caught the pass, and
dashed madly up the field. His 1O5
yard dash, from behind his own
goal line, that scored the touch
down that put them in front gave
the Prairie boys new lease on
life.
A disastrous third quarter when
the local team attempted valiantly
to get their own attack functioning
smoothly found the Prairie lads in
spired. They dashed in with fervor
so fast that three fumbles, all re-
covered by the opposition, kept the
locals in their own territory for the
quarter. One tumble deep in local
territory, recovered by Long Prair-
lie, sent the boys scrambling to set
their defensive. But an off tackle
smash scored from the 35 yard
line.
Late in the game when the locals
battled desperately to close in on a
two touchdown lead set UP by the
Long Prairie outfit, another inter-
cepted pass sent them on to a goal.
An attempted pass from the local
30 yard line found an intercepting
back close at hand. It put them in
posession to powerhouse their way
in an inspired push to the goal for
tho final score.
Rain and mud are eveners. A
slippery ball makes for breaks. and
it's interesting to note that all the
breaks went to Long Prairie. Not
single one of their four touch
downs came as a result Of earned
sustained gains. The first resulted
from blocked kick, the second
on interceptnd mass. the third
tumble and the fourth an intercent-
ed pass Anyone of which MIGHT
havr happened Under the weather
conditions to either team. But Lone
Prairie knew how to avail herself
Of these breaks On that blocked
kich she utilized the fact that
quick thrust would serve. On the in
tercoption their halfback ran los
wards through a broken field to
score.
Perhaps outstanding in his de-
fensive and offensive maneuvers
was boy playing the fullback slot
-Rivette. His inspiration was de-
rived In part from the fact Long
Prairie was his old school and he
was out to show them what they
had lost to Sank Centre. Yardage
he coined in great amounts crash
ing the line and slicing off between
his linemen.

Minneapolis, Oct. 9.-When Min
nesota and Michigan play football
the game is so heavily packed with
tradition that it holds the intense
interest in both states even though
neither team has a high ranking in
the national scale at the time they
meet.
In fact, some of the most dram.
attic games, some of the games most
wildly remembered, were played
in years when Gophers and Wolver-
ines were both second grade
teams.
It happens, however, that a large
majority of games between them
have been championships wherein
one team or the other, and often
both teams, had the chance to take
Conference or national champion
ships by victory in the struggle for
the Little Brown jug.
On the whole relations between
the two universities have been
friendly. Certainly they are friendly
now. Harry Kipke at Michigan and
Bernie Bierman at Minnesota are
sporting gentlemen. Each has a
high regard for the other and each
is determined to keep the relation
ship on high plane.
There have been times, however,
when feeling ran rather strong.
This was especially true in 1925
when DR.. Clarence Spears took
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1937-10-14

Minnesota's team of sophomores to
Michigan with a chance to win a
Conference championship.
The Gophers had been tied by
Wisconsin and Michigan had been
beaten to 2 by Northwestern.
Just the same these were the two
best records in the Conference and
the winner would be the champion.
All through the week before the
game Michigan newspapers carried
stores about the speed of the Min
nesota shift. At that time rules
makers were putting brakes on
fast shifts, requiring a team to
pause after a shift and before
starting a play.
Doc Spears had powerful shift
that was timed to what was believ-
ed to be the split second of legal
ity. The campaign in Michigan pa
pers, suggesting that the Minnesota
shift was illegal, started at the
same time in all parts of the state,
leading Doc Spears to suspect 1t
had been inspired by Fielding Yost
as a telling stroke of strategy.
1t would serve the double purpose
of influencing the officials of the
game, causing them to be extreme
ly exact in their timing of the shift
and of upsetting Minnesota's soph-
omore team and perhaps disturb
ing their timing.
So bitter and extensive was the
campaign that Doc Spears decided
perhaps unwisely, to change his
timing at the last minute. He made
the change after the Gophers had
arrived in Michigan and had re
ceived the full impact of the pub.
licity campaign. The result was
that the Minnesota attack lost its
power and the big, experienced
Michigan line had no trouble stop
ping it.
When they play at Ann Arbol
next Saturday Harry Kipke will b
shooting at his first touchdown
against Bernie Bierman. Kipkt
won one game, their first, to
