Jerry was awakened by the sun.

How would you like to have couple

up a string with about Is beauties
taken from the deep cold waters OF
Crooked lake.
KOehler protested vigorously, but
after the youth had been assured
that the fish could be spared, he
accepted two of them.
Next day." Steve remarked, q
found that the boy hadn't built fire
that night, and I doubt if he had a
bite TO eat. I think he saved the
| fish for breakfast IF had only
known the circumstances, I could have
given him plenty to eat at the camp.
Koehler's achievement however, will
not go unrecogniZed, and perhaps not
unrewarded. The news OF his adven-
ture had been out in Chicago but a
day when he received a telephone call
from Duluth inviting him to ride back
to the Windy City in style on an air
liner.
Needless to say the youth accepted
the invitation without reservation, and
Monday he was taken in hand by James
j. Fauteux, Duluth, district traffic man
ager for Northwest Airlines, who ac-
companied him to Chicago. Enroute
KoehIer met the gentlemen of the
press at the Twin Cities and Chicago,
where interviews had been arranged
by Fauteux.
Who Koehler's Chicago benefactor is
has not been revealed. The gentlemen
refused to permit his name to be pub
lished He worked through Fauteux,
who handled all details.
Even so, many local people have
their suspicious as to who came to
the youths assistance. The gentle
man is apparently thoroughly fam
liar with this area, and has a burn
ing love for the wilderness and add
miration for those who conquer its
obstacles.
II their suspicious are correct he is
the same man who for years has been
working quietly behind the scenes to
do his part in preserving the last
great wilderness in the middlewest.
Koehler hopes to write story
about his trip. He kept an extensively
written diary during his 10 weeks in
the wilderness that was nearly as I'M
usual as the trip itself.
His descriptions Of the wilds IN
which he poured out his heart on
paper in utter loneliness provide an
insight into why men yearn for the
deep solitude of the forest and for its
peaceful tranquility. Here where the
work of the Creator is most evident,
men rebuild their souls and come
forth with new wisdom and new hope.
Incidently, the publicity that Koch
ler's unusual experience is getting for
the canoe country is like a rolling
snowball-it keeps growing and grow
ing, and at the present time there is
no telling Just where it will stop.

In the first place, Itasca's upset win
by a TO score in 1899 kept the Iron
Men from annexing the Northern
Junior College Conference crown their
first year in the circuit.
And in the second place, Itasca's
wilitewashing of Ely last year by
TO count kept the local college from
garnering an undisputed hold on the
title.
And in the third place, the Elyites
are just full of downright cussedness
after dropping two conference battles
without scoring a point.
The statistics give Ely "scoreless"
victory over Hibbing and "scoreless"
tie with Virginia.
On paper the Hibbing game should
have gone to Ely, but ON the score
sheet it was given to Hibbing by
top-heavy 1910 count.
On paper the Virginia contest should
have been just about draw, but
again the scorekeepers paid no atten-
ton to the statistics and awarded the
GreyhoundS a 1870 Shutout.

The real story of how the 19-year
old Chicago youth traversed the wild
of the Superior and the Quetico ma
never be recorded, unless some for
tUnate person catches the youth il
the right mood and is able to get hin
TO unburden himself.
IF that ever ranspires, the tale o
adventure, hardship, and priYatiol
that viii unfold viii be one of tn
best ever TO come out of a territor,
noted for its stories since the frs
vOyageurs many years ago dipped
their paddles deep into the unknown
waterways Of the lakes country.
Then the achievement Of Richard
KOehler, the boy who had never beer
in the wilds, who had never padded
a canoe, and who had scantly enough
funds to finance the journey, will bt
revealed in its true light.
Describing his feat as a simple
little thing Koehler was so modest
that he wouldn't even accept food
when his provisions were nearly
exhausted. He wouldn't admit to
parties he contacted that he was
inexperienced in the ways of the
woods and might need advice. And it
was only after the most pointed
questioning that he revealed he had
only twO-bits left the day he sold
his canoe.
Veterans of the woods marvel at
his accomplishment in padding the 10
miles from Sturgeon to Lac La Croix
in one day, but this endurance run
may have been motivated by more
than a desire to set a speed record. He
was already several days overdue be-
cauS bad weather had prevented him
from keeping TO his schedule. When
he arrived at the Wilderness Outftters
here a letter from his parents awaited
him asking what had become Of their
son.
Then. too, from a little incident that
transpired on the portage between Iron
lake and Crooked lake, Koehler's prov
isions may have been nearly gone,
bringing him face to face with the pros
pect of going hungry while still miles
within the heart Of the border country.
Steve Mizera, veteran guide who has
been working out Of William Zup-
ancich's fishing camp on Curtain
Falls. came across Koehler on the
Iron-Crooked lake portage early one
evening. The adventurous youth was
on the last leg Of his trip.
How are you fixed for grub?" Steve
asked after much questioning had re-
vealed in a degree what the Chicagoan
had Just been through.
Koehler admitted his chuck was get
ting low, saying you can't travel too

plastered the field.
During the rest Of the time they
were kept busy defending their own
goal line, as Virginia blocked a punt,
intercepted pass, and recovered two
fumbles.
Virginia's first touchdown came early
in the second quarter as the result Of
a sustained march from mid-field.
Lyle Kutz pushed the pig skin over from
the 5-yard stripe. A pass for the
extra point was good.
