ATHLETIC EN ,M arf' L l I I ' By 1---., f- Harold Riley and Bill Banks LEXINGTON LOSES TO HOLDRE GE Lexington journeyed to Holdrege, and suffered a 13 to 7 defeat in the hands of the Dusters, Who scored for the Iirst time this year, Friday, No- vember 4. In the first quarter, with Redfern leading the Dusters, they pushed down and over for the first counter and extra point. Six plays later Lexington scored on a pass from Warren to Stuckey. Stuckey kicked the goal for the extra point. In the third quarter Lexington fumbled on their own 40 and Hol- drege recovered. Redfern again led the plunging and they went over for another touchdown, but failed to convert. On an exchange of punts, Lexing- ton took the ball on Holdrege's 30. They drove for the goal but ended on the 2-yard line. That was the last time either team threatened and the game ended, 13-7. CURTIS WINS 21-12 OVER MINUTE MEN Hard charging Curtis Aggies over- ran the Lexington Minute Men here 21-12, October 26. i THE I-IUDDLE 2 X P, Wgaffszfs Evil Zgfji-Zi A large crowd of Lexington foot-1 ball fans watched their first game of six-man football between Eddyville and Miller here October 26. Eddy-I ville showed a superior quality of football by leading with a score of 38 to 21. The Lexington Reserves will tra- vel to Mason City, Armistice day, for a game with the undefeated Mason City eleven. This will be the first time Lexington Minute Men have ever defended their colors against these huskies. For their opponents, Minute Men are using Charley McCarthy's fav- orite quip, We'll mow you down. They'll have to put a finer edge on' their sickles for Aurora and Goth- cnburg.

Following in the wake of his bro- ther, Bob, he has quarterbacked for L.H.S. in a mighty man-of-the-min- ute way. This year he captained for the Kearney and Curtis bouts. Three qualities probably account for his success-an absorbing love for the game, a good head, and a stout, yet agile, body. A delegate to Boys State at Lin- coln in his junior year, Jack also has the honor of being one of the three juniors elected to the National Honor Society last year. He is sc- cretary-treasurer for the Hi-Y, and has the unusual distinction of being a senior band member for seven years. Gypsy Jim Junior play, Novem- ber 10. L.H.S. Aud.

PROGRAM IS MEDLEY OF SPEAKING AND SONG When it comes to afternoon pot pourri programs, L.H.S. is nonpariel! Where else, in an hour and a half, could one get entertainment varying from a requiem for all annual spon- sors, to free lessons in chorus direct- ing? On Wednesday, October 26, L.H.S. students hearkened to a speech by Photographer M. E. Hebrew, exhort- ing the students to get shot im- mediately for the sake of their spon- sors. Kenneth George acted as master of ceremonies over the remaining portion of the program. The sec- ond year Spanish class presented the play, Coma Cambian Los Fiem- pos, or How Times Change. It was given first in Spanish and then in English by Janice Cook, Marjorie Bellew, Marianne Zimmerman and Jean Smith. Calvin McKibbin's reading, Look- ing After Clara, marked his last public appearance before moving to South Dakota. Patricia Naffzinger and Virginia Knapple brought this part of the program to a close by playing two piano duets-the first being, Gold Mine in the Sky, with each girl manpulating a piano. On the sec- ond -number, Dark Eyes, they combined their musical talents to make only one piano talk. Over the second half of the pro- gram Marjorie Carroll presided and conducted a rally. The four Spiz members, elected from each class, were initiated publicly when each group led the assembly in a yell. They were arrayed in that choice miscellaneous attire known only to initiates. At this point the cheer leaders took the floor and guided the chilluns in several yells. Don Moss took charge of the dictation lesson when he read, line by line, three new pep songs and then pro- ceeded to direct the community sing. Thus the tale ended. Betty Weaver, '37, had the second lead in the comedy, Spring Dance, which was given at the Nebraska Wesleyan university Saturday, Nov. 5.

The Girl Reserves held their reg- ular meeting in the library Tues- day, October 25. Thelma Fair ex- plained how to give the code and salute. It was decided that this year the girls must learn the code and song and be able to answer any question asked her about Girl Reserves before she is entitled to wear a Girl Reserves pin. Miss Lewis impressed upon the girls the importance of being present at every meeting. An interesting dis- cussion was held on sub-deb ques- tions. i DIPLOMATS, AUTHORS, AND EDUCATORS ON N.S.T.A. PROGRAM Several teachers who attended the Nebraska State Teachers Associa- tion convention last week at North Platte seem to put Ruth Bryan Owen Rohde's talk on her diplomatic mission to Denmark at the top of the list in entertainment. Others name The programs pre- sented by Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Thompson Seton as the spotlight of the convention. Mr. Seton, author of many famous books, such as, Wild Animals I Have Known, The Biography of a Grizzly, Woodcraft and Indian Lore, Scouting for Boys, told of his experiences in handling a large group of boys who were molesting his bird and animal sanctuary. Ap- parently, from his own story, he was the innovator for some of the Boy Scout code, because he had to devise a way to protect his property. Mrs. Seton's characterization of the Indians, her beautiful costumes, and her singing held her audience enthralled, say the teachers. Artistic, winning, and picturesque, these entertainers. and informers, seemed to bring to the stage per- sonalities that have long been known V among book lovers.

GOTHS TO BE TOUGH FOE ON HOME FIELD NOV. 24 Whe.n the Minute Men meet the Gothenburg Swedes there Thanks- giving Day, there will be the old- time battle-axe spirit. Gothenburg, having tied North Platte and Cozad, is still undefeat- ed with 126 points against their , opponents' 14. Minute Men have not been down- ed by the Swedes since they have no intention accumulated scores raise skyward now. MINUTE MEN LOSE Nu PLAQUE AWARD After winning the N plaque for the past ten years, athletes of Lex- ington fell down on the job for 1937- 1938. Gothenburg, Minden and Platts- mouth received scholarship plaques in Class B division. Hastings was the only school in Class A with an 1933, and of letting their hair enrollement of over 600 that was. honored with an award. Class C al- so has three winners, Ashland, Bridgeport and Tilden. Anoka, Mel- beta, and Oakdale were presented plaques in the Class D division. Lexington was listed with twenty- six schools on the honor roll. Homo bribes one of the tribal An- cients to create a tradition that a stranger will appear to weave a new mantle for the chief in which Blime is identified as the stranger. Since the chief cannot be killed so long as he wears this sacred garment, Blime is to pretend to weave this cloak, and the tribe will be glad to slay him when he appears dismantled. Act I ends with Blime retiring to the cave to weave the invisible mantle. How Blime strategically handles the mantle situation, how cannibal- ism is banished and how the cave- men win their maidens is all told in the final act. PARENTS AND FRIENDS ENJOY OPEN NIGHT Open House in L.H.S. was held Monday evening, November 14. The high school band played several se- lections at the beginning of the pro- gram. W. C. Bloom, county super- intendent, then spoke on 'Education Enriched by Living. Concluding the program the chorus sang several numbers directed by Mr. Ewing. Following the program, the par- ents and friends of students visited the office, library, laboratories and class rooms where the faculty mem- bers greeted them. The sophomore home economics girls, dressed in old-fashioned costumes, served punch and wafers and the Home Economics club sold candied apples.
