Carers Close Call

Carver's Close Call
The Leaping Leopards of Matte
Blunt Junior High First through
18th grade) Prichard, Ala, took on
too much when they challenged the
Mighty Hornets, Of Carver High
Homecoming Night, Thursday, No
vember l at o'clock in Prichard.
The game opened on the kick to
the Hornets from the Leopards but
there wasn't any scoring until the
second quarter when the Hornets
sent Langston Pickett on an end
sweep for an 80-yard touchdown;
The Hornets line made it possible
for Edward "Hopalong" Blake to
gallop over for the extra point.
When the Leopards possessed the
ball, Robert Bostic, John Patterson.
Charles Barnes and John Harrison
"gripped the cat by the tail" and
shut the Leopard out in the first
half TO.
In the third quarter, Bonnie "Mr.
r. D." Means ran straight up the
middle of the Leopards' defense
for 81 yards to score. Clarence
Turner, end, made the extra point.
On the kick by Bostic, the Hornets
rushed the Leopards, pushed them
back and forced them to kick. The
kick bounced off a fellow Leopard's
shoulder and rolled in the end zone
where Willie Costic bounced on it
for the touchdown. The extra point
by Means was not good. Later in
the third quarter, the Leopard be-
gan to "pass for life" Enough
passes were caught for a touch
down. Their extra point was good.
In the fourth quarter, the Leopards
called the spread pass play and
completed a pass in the end zone.
The Hornets were playing against
time to keep their lead. Johnny
Jackson, quarterback, barked off
long signals, despite the five yard
penalty, to kill time and beat the
clock. The Hornets won 2O-14.

MINNEsOTA's ARMY

Books have been written about
Minnesota and its sons in the War
OF the Rebellion. Much more could
be written not only about the Civil
War. but the other wars which
followed.
Minnesota made up the first
regiment TO be offered the govern
ment in answer to an appeal by
President Lincoln. The call came
on April IS. Mass meetings were
held throughout the state. The ten
companies sought from various
communities were more than filled
by April 20. Willis A. German was
chosen the commanding colonel.
On May J, another appeal was
made in advance OF congressional
approval and those quotas were
also filled.
The pay OF these volunteers was
thirteen dollars a month. That was
the highest pay previously given
TO service men and much higher
than the pay scale Of the Euro
pean armies.
The enlistments. especially at
first. came very easily. The APP
peals to enlist in 1851 were In the

went on immigration increased
and the Sons Of Norway were a.
mong the advance guard Of settle
ment in the area which later be-
came Minnesota
The Norwegians were given ad-
vice by their countrymen and
others. II was suggested that after
paying the cost Of their passage
they should have a few dollars in
their pockets TO work their way
inland.
Many came from Norway who
had no money. The common
method of getting to the new
land was to hire out TO some resi-
dent who would advance the
funds. The newcomer would then
be bound for three years at fifty
dollars a year. This was consider
ed a good deal for both parties.
In the earlier times the cost OF
passage and transportation from
Norway to the Mississippi Valley
was sixty dollars.
Those who were to migrate were
advised to get to America in the
early summer, settle down on
their land. plant buckwheat, tur-
nips and potatoes. build q crude
shelter for the winter and get
some fodder for the inevitable
COW.

The Fifth Minnesota was pm

Of the states had regiments set
aside for the Irish and Minnesota
honored the sons Of Erin by pro-
wding a special organization for
them. Germans were also welcom-

military training.
Hamline was the best establish
ed college in the state. The Civil
War closed II by taking some Of
its teachers and nearly all Of its
students. The enlistments from
this school totsled l19 young men
who had prayer meetings in their
quarters every evening and who
were later distinguished for their
bravery on the field of battle,

EARLY NORwEGIANs

In 1854 the Minnesota legisla-
ture appropriated some money TO
prepare information about the
state and attract people from dis
tAnt lands.
At this time there were quite q
few Norwegians in the state and
these people liked Minnesota and
the frontier liked the NorWegians
A special invitation was extended
TO Norway to send Its citizens to
a new land.
The first Norwegians to migrate
TO the United States as a group
came in 1928. There were So Of
them on one ship and they settled
in the east for there were few
roads to the west. As the years

out by the scores in the early days
Of Minnesota, especially after the
territorial government was es-
tablished. Many Of these towns
langtiished and even the names Of
some Of the most promising Of
their day have been forgotten.
Some others grew with astonlsh-
ing rapidly.
In is49 the area where the city
of Wtnona now lies was a level
prairie bounded by the Father Of
Waters and big hills. The first
white settler on the prairie did not
appear until October, 1851. BY the
end Of that year there were but
six courageous settlers. The plat
of the city. named for the love-
sick Indian maiden who threw
herself over q rocky cliff, was re-
corded in June 1852.
BY December. 1885. the popula-
ton Of Winona was Si3. From
May 10 December Of that year 1o6
homes and buildings were con-
structed. In the following year,
five additions were plated and
29s buildings and homes COM
pleted. Among these buildings
were three churches. a three story
bank. q high flour min and q big
hotel.
In the year 1855 winona had
1900 steamboat landing and the
community was q distributing

uiation had reached three thous-

people who had been borrowing
money at three per cent q month
TO speculate said that bad stories
were hurting the future Of Min
nesota. The truth was that land
speculation was destroying itself
in the panic OF that year. Winona
ceased to grow for some little
time and then took on a new and
more certain life.

One Of the unwritten rules OF
the Minnesota frontier was that
newcomers should be asked very
few question concerning the past.
Many people who went 10 q new

with names and places.

couple known as Mr.. and Mrs
James Aubrey They had come
down by sleigh from Lake Super
Tor. Aubrey was a boat builder and
interested in frontier sports. His
wife taught school and later es-
tablished a Sunday school. This
soon developed into church. In
August. 1851 Bishop whipple
came To White Bear. There was "A
