    tire game. Outstanding WAS Iue ohe made and broken by Thomas Higbic, substitute for the past three years, who sat on the bench for % straight games and finally got in the last game of his career for 80 seconds. He wanted to make a rec ord of “a straight games but % is quite a few, it seems to me. It is at this time of the year that selections for All-American football teams are being made. High school journalists are busy making teams for All-American and also for ALI District elevens. Sank Centre would probably place one man on an All-American team; Joe Beste, the best guard in the district. Nor man Bohne would most likely receive honorable mention for the center berth. They now have a new nickname for Junior Vandesteeg, tackle on the football team, Frisbee is the ‘monicker.” Predictions of football games and their outcomes is quite fad. Our prediction for the MinneSota-Iowa game was pretty close-the only one all year within one touchdown RANGES to was the estimate and the score was 35 to 10. Minnesota should take Northwestern by 2 touchdowns. Just a mater of routine-instead of reminding you of SO many shop ping days until Christmas. I remind you of only % days until the basketball game. THIS’N THAT ABOUT THE SENIOR HIGH On Friday, November fifth, at 1O:45 the students of the Junior and Senior High enjoyed a program in the Senior High assembly. Rob ert Rydholm was the announcer, and the program began by a radio broadcast of the Alexandria and Sank Centre football game by Mr.. Olsen and Mr.. Harvey. The stud ents then heard the trio, Phyllis Svenneby, Peggy Hoffman and Shirley Carpenter sing “Harbor Lights” and ‘‘Veni Veni.” The fourth period English class gave a splendid one-act drama entitled “Pyramus and Thisbe,” Pyramus and Thisbe are the hero and hero inc of love story first told by the Roman writer, Ovid; later by Shakespeare in midsummer Nights Dream” Because their parents refuse to consent to their marriage, the low ers converse through a clink in the wall separating their homes and finally decide to run away together. Thisbe is to meet Pyramus I’M der a mulberry tree in the woods. In her haste to get there she drops her veil on the way. A lion, whose mouth is stained with blood, tears the veil apart. And when Pyramus comes, he finds the veil, stained with blood. He thinks that some wild animal killed her, and so he stabs himself and is MORALLY wounded. Later on Thisbe comes back and finds Pyramus dead and so she also kills herself. The cast is as follows: Thisbe Junior Vandesteeg, Pyramus, Ray Walker, Moonshine, Mike Han auer, Lion, Jim Rattle, Wall, Ron aid Rivette, Readers, Alverna Pet erson and Merlin Pickett. Mickey Hansen, Ray Fish, jim Rathe and Robert Rydholm then introduced a new school song, you Can’t Stop Us From Winning, written by Ray Fish and Robert Rydholm. Speeches were given by Mr.. Toftness, the assistant coach and two football players, Norman Bohne and Joe Beste. Mr.. Koh concluded the program by playing a few songs for the students.

Gophers Out for Revenge Northwestern. which was tripped up 60 by Illinois Saturday, must upset tho dope, but the dophers probably will be hard to halt, par ttcularly because they wildly recall that startling so whipping from the Wildcats last fall.

After Illinois, Ohio State is scheduled to take Michigan in stride, but the damage to the Buckeye cause was done Saturday by the srappy Hoosiers, who justified the claims Of many fans that they constitute one Of the best-balanced teams in the midwest. Maroons Go East Michigan, which scored two touch downs in the final four minutes to hand the hapless Chicago Maroons q 1912 defeat, goes east to take on Pennsylvania, and may add an in tersectional victory to its string Of three straight, one-point conference conquests. Chicago, nosed out Of what would have been its first win Of the season, probably will reach victory against Beloit college Of Wisconsin. Purdue and Wisconsin may put on one Of the most even battles Of the year. The Boilermakers were defeated, 2l-3 by Fordham Saturday as Wisconsin enjoyed q vacation. In diana, with two conference triumphs and one loss, will be favored over Iowa and II the Hoosiers can whip Purdue Nov. 20, will have made the best showing Of any Indiana team in Big Ten competition.
