CLASS Play
DRAWS MANY
High School Players Cover
Themselves With Glory
Thursday Evening.

Under the expert dictatorship of Miss
Mama Forbes, the senior class pre-
sented 1.-THE Poor Fish" at the Wash
ington auditorium, Thursday evening,
before a large and appreciative audi
ence.
The play had been rehearSed to the
letter and not a hitch occurred to mar
its presentation Or detract from the en-
joyment of the audience in the ex-
pert manner it was placed on the
boards.
To pick out excelling characters
would be a hard task as all were
equally proficient in their lines and in
the manner in which they acted the
difficult roles.
The business of the production was
cared for by Merlin Riikola and Miss
Clara Herseth had charge of the prop
critics and occupied the dual role of
stage manager. Both Miss Herseth and
Mr.. Riikola had done their work well
and added much to the successful
production.
Not small part of the show was the
music played between the acts as a
curtain raiser by the High School
orchestra under the direction of Frank
v. DiNino.
The whole three acts of the play
were laid in the reception room of the
Rest Cure Sanitorium of a mountain
resort in the east. The main part of
the action took place on Friday the
18th. This hoodoo date, however, did
not interfere with the funny antics of
those concerned in the plot.
The cast was made up by the fol-
lowing we'll known high school thes-
plans:

Camille, or the lady of the

and death at twenty-three of an
acquaintance of Dumas named Al

brated in funeral address by Gau-
tier and is commemorated by a
much-visited monument in the Gem

Plan That Wasn't Used

It is said that if the war had
continued into the year 1919, the
Allies were going to try a more
original way of using tanks-pass
straight through the front, not stop
ping at the enemies fighting lines,
but to try to strike direct at head
quarters back of the lines.

Raven Looks Like Crow

American ravens are over two
feet long, have a wing spread OF
about three feet, and look like a
large crow. Headed for extinction,
they are ordinarily found only In
Oregon, Montana and South Dako-
ia. Once they were common all
over the United States. Ravens nest
in desolate regions, as far as pos
sible from men. But, after being
captured, they can be tanned cas-
ily.

An exceptionally large crowd was

The play was directed by Mrs. Will

several parts in the cast did remark
ably well with the comedy features Of
the production. The audience was
pleased as the applause at the con-

indicated.

EVANSTON, ILL.,, Oct. 2s.-Minne-
sofas football empire fell today.
No longer are the Golden Gophers
the symbol Of reigning power in the
Western Conference. In their place
are the Wildcats OF Northwestern,
who beat down the mighty men Of
Minnesota, 6 to 3. in one Of the most
bruising, sensational battles OF any
season--and q distinct upset.
Trailing, 3 to 0. at the end Of
blazing first half. the Wildcats
struck with lightning rapidity to crash
over the winning touchdown in the
closing minutes Of the fourth period.
When the ball was planted over the
Minnesota goal line. the crowd of
1900 Northwestern home corners was
swept into the advance stages Of
hysteria.
1t was the second time in the last
three years that the Wildcats had
conquered Minnesota to virtually knock
the Gophers out of the Western Con-
ference championship. 1t also was
the first time that the Gophers had
lost in Big Ten competition since
Northwestern whipped them, 6 to 0,
in 1896.
Wildcats Drive Repeatedly.
The Wildcats took the attack away
from the highly favored Minnesota
team in the third and fourth periods,
and had the Gophers fighting with
their backs to the wall most of the
time.
The Gophers in the last half ap.
parently were softened up by the
savage play Of the Wildcats, for
they were held to just 16 plays-eight
in the third period and eight in the
fourth. Four of them were punts,
two of them were fumbles and one an
intercepted pass.
In the blistering fourth the Wild
cats had advanced on three occasions
near the goal-first to the 23-yard
stripe, then to the and then to the
IL. After missing = fourth attempt
to score on . field goal, Northwestern
struck for keeps.
Big Larry Buhler, Minnesota's full
back, had fumbled on Minnesota's 20

for Northwestern. Then Coach Wal
