As only four Alumni girl s appeared for this year’s game, they were re enforced by Luella Halveison at center. Both teams played as hard and as fast as could be expected after only a few prac tices. The game was interesting at all limes and the large holi lay crowd enjoyed the work of all, especially that of their old favorites Gladys Ward ’12.' Henrietta Johnson 11 and era Howard 09. The feature of the game from the standpoint of the “Old Grads was the excel ent guarding of Gladys Ward, the basket shooting aud floor work of Henrietta Johnson and YTera Howard. The high school team showed flashes of excellent team work, and with a little more practice would develop into another winning team. Frauces Broadtoot plnyed her usual brilliant floor game, and she together with Edna Halborg aud Eva Ellen tterger made possible the score of 26 to 12. Vivian Borst aud Genevieve Hubbard made their apponents earn every point which was scored over them. Line-ups: H. S. (Girls) L. F. R F. C. L. G. R. G. M.

The second monthly meeting of the “Studenten Verein” was held Tuesday evening, November 2f .

Vereingesang--0 dtt lieber Augustin...............................Verein The papers and talks, on three of the leading cities of Germany, were very interesting. They brought out points of historical interest, as well as the principal legends connected with the cities. The last feature of the program, a German folk dance, given by six of the members in peasant costume, was greatly enjoyed by the society. This act of entertainment has a certain amount of educational value, and is a great factor in keeping up the interest of the students. The last issue of the Wisconsin Journal of Education has an interesting article on the folk dance in the public school. A great many of the public schools of the state have introduced the folk dance into their gymnasium and playground work. Where the folk dances are put on “in costume’’ they seem to create a desire among the pupils to become more familiar with the language and geography of foreign lands. u

the high school mirror -’ll Mondovi High School Boys 24, Alumni Boys 11 That inter class basket ball alone, ofevtu basket ball between local teams, would be very unsatisfactory was clearly demonstrated on New Year’s afternoon, when the High School and Alumni clashed for the third consecutive year. The Rime, while well played aud fast, was marr d by some rough work during the first half. With this the only game, at present, in prospect for tbe entire season, and with the correspond-ing lack of practice due to this fact, holding was much in evidence. This is a feature of the great indoor game which generally leads to rough work Before this year the Alumni have played this annual game with a view to giving the high school team a much needed holiday practice, and to help along the finances of the Athletic Associa tiou. This year the first motive was lacking and the result was a somewhat unsatisfactory game from the standpoint of the spectators. Everyone ueeds an incentive, and when the incentive is removed, efficiency cau not be secured. The game was featured bv the free throwing of Farriugton who added the point 8 out of 9 times, the floor work of Farrington and the Howard brother , the guarding of alker aud the close playing of Lockwood. For the Alumni Ruff's field basket, the work of Merritt and Solberg in the breaking up play , and the all around work of Broadfoot and Ellenberger stood out prominently. The Alumni were stronger at c ose work, while the high school team featured the open game The high school team showed flashes of fast team wor k which was really remarkable considering the fact that only 4 practices had been held before the game. Over 42 was taken iu, and about $25 realized after expenses were paid, which sum will be a great help to the Athletic Association. Line-ups: M. H. S. (Boys) Alumni (Boys) Lyle Howard L. F.
