DEBATING Is it worth while to learn to express one's thoughts clearly and in good English? If it is worth while, then we should all enter debating, for there is no other subject that is so beneficial in this respect. Debate developes ability to think before an audience. This ability does not come by chance. It comes by practice. If any of our readers think i! is an easy matter to give a rebuttal speech, let him go out for debating this year, and he will soon find that he has made a serious mistake. We do not deny that ability to think before an audience can be acquired out of school and before the public, but in most cases, “both the speaker and the public are to be pitied.” The school is the place for such efforts: for there, blunders are excused and corrected. Before the public they are not, and every speaker who practices on the public pays a high price for a painful experience. “Debate develops skill to sift material,—a sense of proportion.” In other words, it develops judgment. The student who is preparing for de- TRUK HLUK bate cannot read with his brain in a stupor. It is not sufficient for him merely to understand what he reads as it is in other studies. He must weigh, compare, discriminate, retain the important and do away with the unim- portant. His judgment is constantly called to pass upon material, all of which may be truthful but which differs in value. Hudson High has scheduled two debates so far. We are in a triangular debate with Ellsworth and River Falls. The question for debate is: Re- solved, That the Parcels Po t liould be extended to include the ent're ex- press service of the United States. The members of these two teams are as follows: Affirmative:—Harvey Howalt, Ed. Vik, Ulrik Blomholm. Negative:—Charles Kelly, Leo Miehaelson, Isabelle Utman. In order to pay expenses we must have the support of the student body Are we to have a large number of students present this year, or are we to have less than twenty like we had last year. The debate will also be of interest to all, for the subject of postal express” is widely discussed at the present time. LEST WE FORGET This world is old, yet likes to laugh. New jokes are hard to find; A whole new editorial staff Can’t tickle every mind. So if you find some ancient jokes, Decked out in modern guise, Don't frown, and call the thing a fake. First laugh—don’t be too wise.” WHAT SHOULD WE DO? The True Blue has two distinct types of readers. The active students compose one class, wiiile the other class is a combination of the inactive students, the alumni, parents of the students, and members of other High Schools. The former type already know all the news before it can possibly ap- pear in print, and for that reason wrould rather have the paper filled with features, and ocal jokes, and we think that their cause can readily be justi- fied. The other type does not know many of the present students, and does not attend the different school. functions and so cannot appreciate the points of the personal jokes, and for that reason prefer to nave the paper give them actual news concerning the school. We also see their case. What we c!o not see is, what to print in the True Blue. The only solu- tion for the problem that we can find is a compromise. The following are the exchanges received by the True Blue during the last month. Most of them have been especially interesting Christmas num- bers. The True Blue will be glad to exchange with other schools not on our present list. “The Spartan,” Sparta, Wis—Why not have a few jokes, We are glad to see the “I awrentian” appear so often on our exchange shelf. The Literary department of the December “Dinosaur,” Laramie, Wy- oming is especially fine. “The Message of the Golden Ftiame” deserves special mention. Look into the “Mirror” (Stillwater, Minn.) and you will see something very attractive. “The Little Gray Mouse” in the December “Menomite;” Menomonie, Wis., is very interesting. Teacher—“What would you call a man that pretends to know every- thing?” Freshie—“A school teacher.’—Ex. 4 TRUE BLUE Everyone likes to read the “Mirror,” Mondovi, Wis. It’s jokes are a good cure for the “blues.” Ripon College Days,” and the “Carroll Echo” are again welcome. THE INCONSISTENCIES OF THE WISE They say—“He who hesitates is lost.” We say—“Look before you leap.” They say—“Beauty is only skin deep.” We say—“A thing of beauty is joy forever.” They say—“Faint heart ne'er won fair lady.” We say—“All things come to him who waits.” They say;—“Necessity is the mother of invention.” We say—“There is nothing new under the sun.” They say— Love is blind.” We say—“Ix)ve conquers all things.” They say—“A stitch in time saves nine.” We say—“It is never too late to mend.” They say—“Better be wise than rich.” We say—“A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.” They say—“In time of peace prepare for war.” We say—“The pen is mightier than the sword.” —Ex.

What ferocity was in his features as he glanced pitilessly at the fragile form. “Curse you, my beauty.” he hised. “You”ll sign that paper yet; yet I say.” She made no reply, but remained mute and silent. Oh, the curve of her neck— would his better nature as- sert itself? Taking a pin from his coat he rammed it mercilessly down her feeder. “Ah, she’ll sign now,” he thought with fiendish glee. He was right —the fountain pen dripped ink again.—Ex. Failed in Isatin, flunked in Math” they heard hi msoftly hiss. “I’d like to find the guy who said that ignorance is bliss.”—Ex.

This was a big card and amply repaid the many1 enthusiasts who came to witness it. Preliminary games were: Eighth Grade Giants vs. Seventh Grade Mid- gets; Bleier for Referee; Martin for Umpire; and a final score of 10-2 in favor of the Giants. The Midgets: Beggs, (Capt.)—R.

Sophomores vs. Seniors:—Prof. Jones, Referee; Miss Thurston, Umpire; final score 5-1 in favor of Seniors. Seniors vs. Freshmen:—final score 5-2 in favors of the Seniors. The final windup was Menomonie vs. Hudson. From the toss of ball in center to end of game this was a hard, pluckily fought battle. For first ten minutes of play line up was Hosford—C.; Paul Anderson—R. F.; C Carlson—I,. F.; H. Miller—R. G.; C. Olson—L. G. At end of ten min utes the fol'owing changes were made: Coit—C.; Hodgins—R. F.; Lys- sta—L. F.; Beggs— L. G.; Borge—R. G. At end of firt half score was Menomonie 30—Hudson 3. In the second half the Hudson boys went off with a rush but Menomonie solved style of play and ran up 16 points to Hudson’s 8, making final score 46 to 11. The rooters were out in force and gave excellent support under the able leadership of Ulrik Blomholm. The following men scored: Baskets—For Menomonie, Murphy 5, Nile 8, Shabacher 1, Sipple 7.

The game started with a rush, both teams playing hard, and being about evenly matched. Stillwater soon began to creep ahead and at the end of the first half the score was 15 to 7. But for these 15 points Stillwater had to fight hard. The lineup for Stillwater was: Garbush and Kilty, forwards; Boo, center; Frawley and Holands, guards. Hudson lineup: Hodgins and Lys tad (Anderson), forwards; Coit, center; Beggs and Olson (Hosford). guards. Referee Roudow; umpire Fitzgerald; timekeeper Jones; scorer Ed. Bleier.

Characters—Hudson and River Fal s quints. Occasion—To decide the superiority. A small crowd of basket ball enthusiasts saw the game between our own High and River Falls High. It was a game from start to finish and exciting was no name for it. The game started well and it was several minutes before either side obtained a much coveted basket. The- R. F. H.

In the second half it looked as if Hudson might win. but both teams came back strong and the River Falls aggregation remained one point to the good. With but a few minutes left to play Beggs shot a free throw thus tying the game 14 to 14. However Beggs was not credited with his free throw. We were not aware of this until after the game was ended, and although we entered a protest, nothing could be done as the referee had already awarded the game, so the official score is 14 tQ 13 in favor of R. F. H. S. To all Hudsonites the score was 14 to 14. This game was a big disappointment to us, but we still believe we are superior to the River Falls quint. They should be given the credit of putting up a stiff fight and Hudson’s five will have to play fast ball to win from them on their own floor. With Hudson all played well. Borge, Hosford, and Beggs as guards f®r Hudson worked well together, while Coit at center held his man to one basket. Hodgins was in the game at all times while Anderson played a plucky game against his much larger opponent. We play River Falls at on River Falls Feb. 22. Why not have each class get up a sleigh-ride party so that we mav send a large delegation to the return game? The lineup: -Hudson—H. Hodgins, R. F.; P. Anderson. L. F.; l ew Coit, C.; H. Hosford, R.

SPRING VALLEY 13—HUDSON 11 % For the first preliminary, the Y. M. A. five played tne High School second team. The latter team was defeated by an overwhelming score, the second team making but two points (scored by Stevens.) The Y. M. A.:—C. Nelson and Bell, guards; Martin and E. Bleier. center; M. Peterson and H. Bleier, forwards. The H. S. Second Team:—E. Ho den and H. Miller, guards; Christoph erson and Tourtellott, center; Stevens, Denniston and Kelly, forwards. For the second preliminary game, the girls had their chance. In the first half the Blues led by a score of 4 to 2, but in the second half the Reds outplayed the Blues, winning by 7 to 4. Blues:—Isabelle Utman, Jumping Center; Nora Stapleton, Side Center: Mary Tourtellot, Forward; Virginia Clark, Forward; Anna Armiuist, Guard; Norma Everson, Guard. Reds:—Viola Sofheim, Jumping Center; Frieda Blomholm, Side Center; Eileen Burke, Forward; Eleanor Roe, Forward; Cecelia Becker, Guard; Josephine Loughney and Nellie Walstrom, Guard. The final windup was Hudson vs. Spring Valley. Spring Valley has waited many years for a chance to “crow'’ over Hudson, and as • all things come to those who wait, their chance came Jan. � 29, and 13-11 was what they had to “crow” over. Spring Valley has a good team, better than River Falls, for their team work and basket shooting was more accurate. However they lacked endurance, taking out time twice, when apparently uninjured, and during the last half they were nearly “all in.” Hudson owes its defeat to poor basket shooting. It has been a characteristic of the Hudson team to come back much stronger in the second half and this game was no exception. The first, half the Spring Valley quintet had it mostly their own way as the score, 12 to ! in their favor, would indicate, but the second was vice versa. With a score of 12 to 4 against them Hudson came back into the game wtih a do or die spirit. It would seem that as Spring Valley had the advantage in the first half, that about the best Hudson could do was to hold them even, but sucii was not the case. From the minute the whistle blew to the end of the game it was Hudson’s all through. Spring Valley made but one point while Hudson scored seven, Coit making one basket and Borge two. Anderson, while endeavoring to shoot a basket, was fouled, and although he shot the basket the referee ruled that the whistle was blown before the ball was in the air. Anderson was then awarded one point as a gift because of being TRUE BLUE 11 THE SOPHOMORE TEAM Norma Everson. Viola Solheim, Nellie Walstrom, Cccclia Becker, Nella Roalkvam. fouled while shooting. In the last five minutes of play Hudson gave an exhibition of team work which sent the crowd wild. They played their opponents off their feet and the members of the team said afterwards that had Hudson had a few more minutes to play they would have won. As it was Spring Valley pulled out two points ahead. About ten minutes before the end of the game Starr Denniston was put in in place of Anderson. Denniston is eligible, but owing to the fact that his name had not been placed on the certified list was liable to play, be- cause he was protested. The lineup: Hudson: — H. Hodgins and C. Olson, R. F.; P. Anderson, L. F.; I ew Coit, C.; H. Hosford, R. G.; Carl Borge, L. G.. Spring Valley:—Hunter, R. F.; Hanson, I.. F.; .Jensen, .Matheng, R. G.; Peterson, L. G. Summary.

GIRL’S BASKET BALL On Friday evening Jan. 8th, the girls played their first public basket ball game at the Armory. To many it was just a preliminary game before the boys played Menomonie,” but to the girls it meant much more. In spite 12 TRUK HLUK of the fact that this is the first year many of the girls have ever played, and that this was the first real game any of them ever played, it was a goon fast game thruout, and one of interest to all. The first game was played between the Junior-Senior team and the Sophomores. The Junior-Senior team won by a score of 5 to 1. The line-up was as follows: Junior-Senior Team:—Jumping Center—I enora Borge; Side Center— Isabelle Utman; l,eft Forwerd—Elvira Erickson; Right Forward—Bernice Nelson; I eft Guard—Lois Zimmerman; Right Guard—Emma Peterson. Sophomore Team:—Jumping Center—Viola Solheim; Side ('enter— .Monica Loughney; Left Forward—Cecilia Recker; Right Forward—Virginia Clark; Left Guard—Norma Everson; Right Guard—Nellie Walstrum. After a brief rest the Juniors and Seniors as the winning team, played the Freshmen. Again the Junior-Senior team was victorious, winning this game by a score of 5 to 2. The line-up was as follows: Junior-Senior Team:—Jumping Center—Lenora' Borge; Side Center— Isabelle Utman; Iveft Forward—Alva Erickson; Right Forward—Bernice Nelson; I eft Guard—Nora Stapleton; Right Guard—Emma Peterson. Freshmen Team:—Jumping Center—Janie Hodgins; Side Center— Frieda Blomholm; Left Forward—Mary TourteLot; Right Forward— Vir- ginia Clark; Left Guard—Anna Arnquist; Right Guard—Josephine Lough ney. It is to be hoped that the boys, or at least some of them, will learn a few of the girls’ rules before the next game, so they will not expose their ignorance by unjust criticism of the girls’ playing and the game. GIRL’S BASKET BALL Tuesday evening, Feb. 27th the girls played their second prelinminary game at the Armory. This was not a class game, but was played more for practice. The lineup was as follows: Team A:—Jumping Center, Lenora Borge; Side Center, Monica Lough ney; Forward, Mary Tourtellot and Bernice Nelson; Guards, Anna Arnquist and Isabelle Utman. Team B:—Jumping Center, Lois Zimmerman; Side Center, Ne lie Walstrum; Forward, Elvira Erickson and Eileen Burke: Guards, Norma Everson and Frieda Blomholm. The first half ended with a score of 4 to 0, in favor of team A. Mar Tourtellot and Bernice Nelson each made a basket. The second half started with a slight change of lineup. Isabelle Utman was put on Team B as guard in Norma Everson’s place, and Josephine Loughney guard on team A. This half team B made six baskets making the final score 12 to 4 in favor of team B. Elvira Erickson made four baskets, and Eileen Burke two. This was an interesting game thruout and shows that the girls are improving. TRUK BLUE 13 THE FRESHMEN TEAM Mary Tourtellot, Bertha Elwell, Anna Arnquist, Janie Hodgins, Frieda Blomholm. HIGH SCHOOL MIDGETS 9, EIGHTH GRADE 7 As a preliminary to the Hudson vs. River Falls game, the High School .Midgets defeated the Eighth Grade Giants in an interesting game. Leaf of the Midgets, backed by the good support and guarding of his team-mates, made seven of the nine points scored. The -Midgets: George l eaf and Charlie Holden, forwards; Murphy center; Hoglund and Palmer, guards. Eighth Grade:—Burke and Hoover, forwards; Mc.Masters, center; Ol- son and Christianson, guards.

With a last soul-satisfying glance in the mirror, l-ols rushed to the Main room, and was—tardy. 9:30 Helen K- ceased conversing with Roy, and studied diligently the last few minutes of the period. 10:30 Bertha smiled happily o er the endearing missile she had re- ceived. I 11:30 One of the Freshmen mistook the time of day and began to eat his dinner. 1:00 P. M. Everybody had a most annoying cough. The noise was tre- mendous. 2:00 Paul used wireless telegraphy in making his intentions known to Norma 3:00 Notes flew about like furry. A sliding party was under considera- tion. 4:00 New marching orders were proclaimed and school closed for the dr.v. •‘BACK TO THE FARM” I’ll tell you a story And this story is no lie; They were found in a snowbank Way up—high and dry. For with fiery steeds And much jingling of bells, They drove out of Hudson, Feeling like great “swells. So I’ll continue my story If my tongue doesn’t stutter. They were found in a snowbank In a two-seated cutter. They were stuck fast and. tight. And yearned to be free. But it couldn’t be done, With a bad single-tree. f So one climbed on a fence post. And looked north and south. And all he could see Was Holden’s farm house. TRUE BLUE 19 So they unhooked the team, Sherman feeling quite small, Drove them up to the house, And asked for a haul. With wrenches and wire And shovels, by Joe, The Holden’s went down To dig them out of the snow. Then they drove up to the house And feeling quite cheap, Asked if they might come in And warm up their feet. Then with Jones in the front And Miss Brown by his side, With Sherman and Miss Smith Away they did glide. Before I forget to tell it. I’ll add some more news. Miss Smith had on Mr. Sherman’s overshoes. As Miss Smith was complaining Of having cold feet. She put on those shoes, Now wasn't that neat? The game with River Falls was watched by a not extra large, but very enthusiastic crowd Friday night.
