NOW FOR A LITTLE GOSSIP
The st. Paul girls caused quite
a sensation in Duluth.
There were plenty of "jam" ses-
sions held here. Anybody's house
that was available was damned"
What had those st. Paul girls
that made the young men of
Duluth go crazy. 1t is rumored
that they skipped school, laid off
work, and had two and three hour
lunch hours.
It is said that at one house the
young men started calling at 10
a. m. and continued through the
day until the wee hours of the
next morning.
At a party given for the out-of-
town ladies it is whispered that
the guest of honor never did arrive,
but was taken by some dashing
Romeos to another party. A feud,
/ think!
What girl was it that drove
everyone insane with her rhythmic
mouth organ playing.
Why didn't certain girl come
to her friends party? My, oh my.
It came to my ears that the visit
ing ladies had lost some of their
"power of control" because they
were left to walk home alone Fri
day night.
What boy when questioned to
why he was so quiet said: "You
weren't with me last night" 1
later discovered he was out with
the st. Paul girl who stayed on
9th Avenue.
What other boy walks around in
daze and in questioned, absent
mindedly murmurs: SHIRLEY, Shir-
ley, where art thou?"
What happened to the three
young men who took the girls to
the station. They were not seen
until Monday. It is rumored that
they retired at 5 P. M. weary in
body, sick at heart and lonesome
for their beloved.
A certain young married man
had just as much fun as the chill
dren did while the guests were
here. Let me tell you something
stay in an old mans place. Your
day is done.
1t is said that plans are being
made for a pilgrimage to st. Paul
next Sunday by our young lovers.
All you little fish get close to this
shore because the big whales are
coming to town. =

his own season over, Bo now leaps
from one football game to another,
from Vanderbilt Alabama to Pitt and
Duke, from block to block and from
tackle to tackle.
Well Alabama has a fast, rounded
team" Bo told me- Il liked the
speed of its line and the speed of its
backfield. 1t isn't a great team-but
good one Its line charge on offense
was especially high class. I'll take
Kilgrow any time and I liked Monsky

WE spent the last two weeks of
the season working entirely on
offense," Frank Thomas, the Alabama
mandarin said. That accounts for
the smoothness of our offensive as
signments. 1t was the best game we
played all season. for We had a good
team to beat in Vanderbilt and it took
field goal from a tough angle to
bring us through. In my opinion,
that 14fpound Marshall of Wander

bring down after being tackled that
I've seen in many years Vanderbilt's
defensive play, led by Carl Hinkle, was
unusually good, especially deep in her
own territory. Footballs tough
game to figure

How about your man, Sanford?"

He can kick a football" Thomas
said with grin And he can keep
on kicking EN- if you show him a cross
bar anywhere from 20 to so yards

keeps on coming through. Alabama
already has been offered place in the
