Seesawing through an uneventful first quarter with Kearney taking most of the first downs, both teams battled without furnishing any spec- tacular sprints. Several passes gain- ed a few yards with Stuckey catch- ing for the Minute Men. Quarter ended 0-0. . High point in the second canto was a touchdown for Kearney on the fourth down after three unsuc- cessful line plunges. Taylor knocked down the pass for the extra point to keep the score 6-0. Ineompleted passes shattered a few tense moments in the third quarter. Taylor and Stuckey for Lexington, and Shada for Kearney lifted the curtain here and there with assistance from the lines, but the canto ended scoreless with Kear- ney still holding the bell rope, 6-0. A final 12-minute round showed Gallington marching goalward for Kearney. A partially blocked kick by Kearney gave the Bearcats the ball on the Lexington 20-yard line. A sidelong gallop by Gallington put Kearney close to scoring on a first down, but an injury to Richards, Lexington guard, took time out and the spell was brdken. Kearney fumbled and failed to recover. An- other season of give and take ended in midfield with the whistle favor- ing Kearney's 6-0 tally. Cozad and Lexington To Battle This Week Friday the Minute Men will match their skill here against Cozad. The Haymakers have a promising team and will give their best to beat Lexington. Last season the Minute Men blocked a pass receiver to give Co- zad a 6-0 victory and are plannng to take Lexington into camp again. Two veteran guards will make the center of the line hard to penetrate. At right guard, 175-pounder Bob Douglas will give no ground. At the opposite guard Lloyd Romine, weigh- ing 179, will stand his own. Oct. 21-Callaway, here. Oct. 26-Curtis, here. Nov. 4-Holdrege, there. Nov. 11-Open. Nov. 18-Aurora, here. 24-Gothenburg, there.

Clarion Wins Second Place Award Our congratulations! Your pub- lication has won outstanding honors in the 1938 Critical Service. j t'The Judges of this year's serv- lice, under the auspices of the Medill School of Journalism, recognize your 'paper as one of outstanding achieve- ments and bestow upon it an Inter- national Second Place Award. The above quotation was received last week from Edward Nell, execu- ttive secretary of the Quill and Scroll contest at Northwestern. l Page one was graded a 1 and the other pages 2 . General effec- Ltiveness of news Writing also scored H1.1! A straight line underscoring a word indicated exceptional excell- jence, a wavy line indicated weak- ness in that department. The Clar- ion received 21 straight lines and 4 wavy lines. I Dominant good features of the 'news stories were use of essentials, organization of story, variety in ilead construction, and Playing up the feature. Outstanding qualities in the make- up were symmetry and newsiness. The Features were underscored for quality and variety, the sports writing for use of essentials and playing up the feature, advertising lfor giving service fno formal or igift adsl. The four wavy lines signified head- ings in editorials could be improved, lack of white space in some of the advertisements, occasional typo- graphical errors, and too few re- porters' names in the column heads. 'The Clarion is a snappy little paper. Its alert editorial policy and lively news writing make it an in- fluential factor in school life at Lex- ington, concluded the critic on the score sheet. l r SONJA HIENE Sweaters and Caps to brighten your fall outfit. - Buy them at - EVANS SHOP H v It may be out of season, But the game warden Won't object Norma Miller, Nora Quitmeyer, andl If you have yourself Alice Sorensen.

Phyllis Stauf- fer, senior, took first in another age group with 99.5 per cent. Don- ald Dean Magnuson, senior, and Marjorie McFarren,'38, tied for sec- ond with 99 per cent. It is report- ed that Marjorie lacked some teeth. Worry! YVorry! What's the mat- ter with this news? It was good fifteen years ago. PF 214 PK KE? The research artists of the Uni- versity of Nebraska have noth- ing on some Lexington boys. While hunting prairie dogs, they sighted a number of queer creatures down in a cistern. Bill Banks thought they would make wonderful speci- mens for biology, but it took per- suasion to induce the boys to help him retrieve these members of the Urodela family. They were out to shoot prey. Some heavy wire and a sack made an excellent net. Merle Morgan and Jack Stuckey held Bill Britton by the feet while he fished around in the dark water. Later, Miss Knapple identified the queer. wrigglers as newts. all :ld 114 IU? Members of the college prepara- tory class in English 12, will feel at ease, and be able to talk with force, if ever called upon to make a speech-at least we hope so! The last ,two Weeks has been one series of ten-minute talks, and recitin' memorized passages - any- thing from Daniel Webster to Bill Nye. Some of these numbers will be given in assembly this week.

Mississippi Singers Among Entertainers in Art, Music and Science The Tom Thumb circus held in the auditorium September 22, for the elementary pupils, was the first of the National series of programs which Supt. Glenn Miller has secur- ed for this year. The four remain- ing entertainments will be present- ed to all the high schbol students. The circus consisted of trained dogs, monkeys, and a pony that seemed to have unusual skill in mathematics, as well as an eye for colors. According to reports from the grade pupils, his tricks astound- ed them. On November 2, Harry C. White will operate his own gongs in his electrical demonstration of the won- ders of modern science. I The third program of music, art and fun will be presented January 9, by Daniel Dew and Company. This is an especially popular num- ber because of its variety. For all those who are interested in spirit mediums, astrologers, and fortune tellers, perhaps the program on February 21 will be enlightening. Seance demonstrations of mediums will be presented. The final number will be the Mis- sissippi Jubilee Singers on May 1. Plantation melodies, c 1 o g g i n g, strumming of banjos with skilled fingers-all help to bring the spirit of the Old South. SPIZ ELECTS MEMBERS AND MAKES NEW PLANS Spiz members are simply bubbling over with vim, vigor and imagina- ,tion as they don new costumes com- posed of black capes lined with yel- low, and cocky yellow caps with black letters above the bills spell- ing Lexington. With the sixteen new members- .Dorothy Duryea, Ethel Mae Peder- isen, Lola Kumpf, Ruth Haworth, Betty Fellers, Charlotte Newman, Dorothy Spuhler, Bill Doughty, Bob Westfall, Phyllis Roe, Chester Brit- ton, Lois Wells, Gene Carroll, Jack Turley, Marcia McKee, and Dick Duffey-it is hoped much enthus- iasm and pep will be displayed this Iyear.
