Junior Cards Rout NeavU
Redwood Falls

Redwood Falls. - 81
New Ulm =, 6
Our Junior High school boys
believe in doing it up brown.
Possibly forerunner of senior
high games in years to come, the
Redwood Falls Junior High team
routed the New Ulm Juniors Sat-
urday afternoon and after c.ose
first half, piled up scores at will.
Playing much of the game in
binding snowstorm, the young
sters, coached by o. E. Sails,
counted first when Dane Trefry
crashed" through tackle for II
yards and Inglis passed to Zitz-
man for the extra point. That odd
point was all that separated the
young Cards and the Eaglets at
the half, for New Ulm broke up
ole of the youngsters razzle daz-
zle plays by intercepting a doub-
lie lateral and raced over for
score.
Chuck Young scored the second
Redwood score, ZitZman made the
third by racing around end for
seven yards and Hendrickson is
credited with the last three, one
of them on 70 yard run.
Redwood used all its substitutes
but still gained 400 yards to 100
for the New Ulm youngsters.

TIGER DECEPTION
GIVES EARLY LEAD
STORTS TOSSES PASS
TO STENSVAD FOR
REDWOOD SCORE

Unable to cope with a powerful
Marshall team whose deceptive
plays were good for frequent long
gains, Redwood Falls took Il ~
6 beating in the feature attrac-
ton of Marshall's homecoming
Wednesday night. The Redwood
Falls High school band and scores
of fans saw the encounter.
Although lost, the game had
redeeming features in the fight
which halted what might easily
have been a flood of touchdowns
and particularly in the play of a
100 FOUNDER, Earl Storts, whose
first pass in competition account
ed for the Redwood touchdown
and whose defensive play as safe
ty man was entirely trustworthy.
The Tigers struck early, max
ing two of their touchdowns in
the first few minutes of play.
Neuschwander received the kick
off and lateraled to Lauterbach
who was downed on the 20. Red
wood moved up six yards in three
plays and Coubal kicked out of
bounds on their 46 yard line.
Marks, OH a >spinner play, tore
through for 18 yards and Gilbert
received short pass over the
line and was away to the two
yard line where Lussenhop drag
ged him down. Marks carried
twice and scored and st. Aubins
slipped over for the conversion
point The second counter came
after Lussenhop had received and
carried out ten yards to the rs
and gained five through the line.
Marshall recovered a tumble on
the 80 and after Weiner gained
five and Lee was stopped, Weiner
broke into the open around end
and raced IS yards to score.
Healy kicked the ball between
the posts.
Lauterbach returned the kick.
off ten to the 80 yard line and,
alternating with Neuschwander,
plunged out to the center of the
field on five plays before a pass
failed and Coubal kicked to their
80. st. Aubins made seven, Lee
was stopped but Weiner filtered
through for 10, placing the ball
on RedWood's AZ. Lee went for
five, Marks for four and Card
inal offside made it first down on
the 20. st. Aubins moved up to
the "a but they lost two ON a FUN
bic failed on pass and finally
lost the ball on the 81.
Neuschwander received a lat
eral for Is yard gain which put
new life in the Redwood stands
and Lauterbach made first down
again in two line plunges. Storts
skipped around right end for six
and Lauterbach made two more
but they elected to kick, Coubal
booting it out on the five. Vein
er carried for nine yards, Lee
made five, Marks three and an
other short pass to Gilbert click
ed for seven before Redwood's
line momentarily solved the at
tack and they were forced to kick.
Redwood carried twice without
gain from their 80 as the half
ended.
Marshall received the kickoff,
Healy returning 20 to the 40
stripe. Weiner broke loose again
and Storts prevented a touch
down by bringing him down on
the 80 after 81 yard gain. st.

INSTALLMENT TAX
Law EXPIRES SOON
AFTER NOVEMBER |
EIGHT PER CENT
PENALTY IN FORCE

The so-called Installment Law
for settlement of delinquent taxes
will cease operation October 81,
according to A. P. Falk, county
treasurer.
Under the law anyone having
taxes delinquent as far back as
1884 can save penalties by paying
them outright or can pay them in
inStallmeLts Of 10 per cent per
year. No penalties are figured on
delinquent taxes, except those of
1886.
However, on November |,
county officials will start figuring
the usual eight per cent penalty on
all delinquent taxes. Persons hav-
ing delirquencies in the classifi-
cation covered by the law should
see about them this month.
In June the office of Ira Rogers,
county auditor, prepared a list of
land on which the 1882 tax was
delinquent and Sheriff L. J. Kise
served notices of expiration of re-
demption.
Already about 40 persons in the
county have paid delinquent 1882
taxes amounting to hundreds of
dollars.

Third Region
Tourney Will
BeHeld Here
SUB-DISTRICT ALSO
SLATED HERE; DIS
TRICT AT NEW ULM

Region three's basketball cham
pion will be decided at the Red
wood Falls High school auditor
ium-gymnasium March II and
18 next year, it was decided at a
meeting of schoolmen here last
week.
Champions of four districts, the
ninth, eleventh and twelfth be-
SIDES the tenth in which Redwood
Falls completes, will come here for
the regional meet. Lynd repre-
scented the ninth, New Ulm the
tenth, Appleton the eleventh and
Lester Prairie the twelfth last
spring.
The scheduling of the tourna-
fnent for Redwood Falls assures
the city of two such events. The
district, WHICH Morton and
Gaylord won last year, will be
held here again, the dates chosen
being March 2, 3 and 4. After dis
cussion of various methods it was
decided to again run another two
bracket sub-district, the winner
in each group going into the dis
trict meet.
Conditional upon the new gym
nasium at the New Ulm school
being completed before March 9,
10 and II, the district meet will
return to New Ulm rext year. 1t
was held at Redwood Falls last
year and Springfield the year be-
fore. If the New Ulm school is not
completed by tourney time, Red
wood Falls will be host to all
three tournaments.
Another decision of the meet
ing was that scheduling of four
games for an evening will be
avoided this year, probably by
playing ore or two daytime
games. This will avoid crowds be-
yond the accommodations of any
of the schools and make late
evening games unnecessary.

plays later Byram intercepted a
pass on the 20 and raced out to
the IS.
After three failing plays, Red
wood punted to their 80 and
tumble second later which Car
ity recovered set the stage for
Redwood's touchdown. With the
ball on the 80 yard line, Storts
heaved a long spiral which Stems
vad grabbed at the goal line. The
kick was wide.
Marshall received and was
forced to kick and Lussenhop
went back into the game after
long absence. He tossed one which
barely missed being completed
and then Topped another which
Aldrich intercepted They were
in possession of the all on their
81 as the game ended.

Redwood MAY
ayNewGrid
Foe Next Year
WILLMAR, ST. JAMES OR
GRANITE FALLS MAY
REPLACE MONTE

Football schedules for 1899
will be prepared at a meeting of
superintendent and coaches
from 20 or more high schools to
be held here Tuesday.
Besides the Little Ten confer
ence of which Redwood Falls is
a member, it is expected that the
Southwest conference and the
West Central league will send re-
representatives., as many of the
schools play games in both and
Marshall and Tracy are members
of the Southwest as well as the
Little Ten group.
Rumors were current here fol-
lowing the Montevideo game that
Monte would not be on the Car
dinal schedule next year. Reede
Gray, superintendent of Redwood
Falls schools, said this week that
Marshall has wanted Montevideo
on its schedule and that the
switch might be made with Red
wood Falls substituting st. James
of the Little Ten or possibly
Willmar of the West Central or
Grarite Falls. Redwood Falls
played st. James in football in
1885 but has had no athletic re-
lationS with Willmar or Granite
Falls in recent years.
The change, if made, would not
be because of any difficulty be-
tween the schools but to accom-
modate Marshall which has had
difficulty arranging games recent
ly and has only a seven game
schedule this year including the
Minneota-"breather." Most schools
play eight games while Redwood
has nine this season.

Districts
Revenues
Fall Short
Accountants Lay Blame
On Steady Rise in
Delinquency

Revenues of the Imperial
Irrigation District since 1880
have been inadequate to COW
er expenditures, the firm of
Haskins and Sells, certified
public accountants, told district
bondholders in 49-page special
report on district financial affairs
made available Monday to officials
here.
The report blames an increasing
percentage of delinquency in assess
ment collections for the unfavorable
balance Increasing delinquency
after 1890 was traced by the ac-
countants to a severe decline in
prices of farm produce, demonstrat-
ed by a sharp drop in the gross
value per acre of crops from 1923
through 1882 In 1923 the gross
value per acre was SIP, in 1929 it
was Sill, in 1880 is was $95. and
it dropped to $88 in 1881 and 500 in
1882, the report said.

The 49-page document, labeled
Financial Report on Imperial Irri-
CATION District" and dated Dec. II,
