Athletics Director Ed Buckley
Announces "That Times"
Here Again.

The first indications that summer is
nearing an end, that fall is approach
ing, and that school time is just
around the corner, are abruptly brought
to the fore this week as Athletics d.
rector Edward t. Buckley announces
that Memorial high school football
candidates will be issued suits start
ing Monday.
Because of a conference ruling, the
Ely Junior College team cannot start
football until school conveneS. Issuing
of suits for the Jaysees will take place
Sept. 8.
Initial practice for the high school,
under the direction of Coach Steve
Smrekar, will be on Monday, Aug. 26.
While all this activity may be bad
news for students who will have to end
the summer vacation very shortly, IL Is
lust what sports fans have been wait
ing for, because hundreds of them, who
were prohibited from seeing the team
in action before, will be there with bells
on now that all games will be played
at night
When the pig skin luggers go into
action early this fall in the seasons
openers, everything, including good
percentage of the players, will be new.
There will be a new steel and con-
crete stadium that seats HOO persons
1t is one of the finest in the Arrow
head.
There will be floodlights to play
under, so all games will be at night
And there will be a new field to dig
cleatS into, for the old one was plowed
up, cultivated and planted with new
grass early this spring. Luxuriant in
growth, the sod has had virtually every
blade in it nurSed to maturity by the
ever-watchful and anxious athletic di-
rector Constantly Sprinkled and fed
special plant foods, the grass produced
comparatively strong sod in few short
months-sod that will be subject to a
terrific beating before the football
season ends.
The Jaysee gridders, coached by
Barney Banks, will have high mark
to aim at for the 1910 season. A year
ago, derided and Sneered at by most OF
the au-knowing prophets as they be-
gan their initial play in the Northern
Junior College conference, the club be-
came the toast of the circuit.
The boys had the Mesabi range seers
talking to themselves after knocking
off the Virginia Junior College un-
beatables, IA to II, on Memorial field
and gave up their claim to the con-
ference crown only after succumbine
to >Eveleth in the seasons final, los!
that eliminated them from sharing the
title with the Queen City.
A good share of the team member.
that made football history for the col.
lege are gone, but they will be re-
placed to a great degree by talent from
the high school The latter club ha
the nucleus of fine team coming up
Together the two can be counted OF
to provide local sports fans with plent.
of thrills to start the athletic cam
paign for the 1904 term.

Appendicitis is EUer
Present Summer Danger.

Deaths from appendicitis usually rise
in July and August, not because ap-
pendicitis is more dangerous during
those months, but because it is so
often confused with common summer
digestive upsets.
A special warning is accordingly
issued today by members of the Min
nesota State Medical associations COM
mittee on public health education
against any abdominal pain or distress
as simple summer indigestion.
Especially the physicians warn against
giving a laxative before the possibility
of appendicitis has been ruled out in
case of "stomachache."
children generally overeat at sum-
mer picnics and, if any are available
anywhere, they generally eat green
apples, too," the doctors point out. 1T
is fatally easy, therefore, to blame a
persistent stomachache in children on
overeating or on green apples. In that
case, the parents do nothing at all or
worse still, they give a laxative.
IF the trouble chances to be ap-
pendicitiS, precious time is thus wasted
The Inflammation in the appendix is
aggravated by the laxative and the poor
little victim goes to the hospital with
everything against him in the end"
When anybody at any age complains
of pain in the stomach or abdomen, nc
food and no medicines of any kline
should be given, the bulletin says. The
patient should be kept quiet and if the
pain lasts more than three or fou
hours, help should be called at once
Nobody ever died because he was
not given a laxative" the doctors say
But many people have died because
they did take laxative in the presence
of abdominal pain"

much misery did this boy suffer and
possibly, the girl mentioned above,
needlessly? If early in their lives they
had received proper guidance what
heartacheS might have been spared
them later on. Children should grow
up with knowledge of their limitations
and assets and how to adjust to life
accordingly, thus preventing shocks
later on.
Remember, a college education doesn't
bar you from the breadline and there
is still much need and dignity associ-
ated with physical eXertion.

The average Minnesota warden
spends so per cent of his time in law

Other time is spent sounding lakes
