I wenty-mne blanketed boys lounged on the ground out-ule the gymnasium waiting for the coach’s last orders. They had not long to wait. The coach appeared and, orders given, he left the 1 ne coach in charge of the practice and hurried oack to I owler s room. Fowler was fullback on the eleven and in the spirited game with l a-rville had received a twisted leg. which would lay him up for some time, and the doctor had said that it looked as if I-owler had played his last game of football. The coach knew the meaning of this, and a day later he told the squad that the best man among the subs, fitted for the position, would get it. Hie tryout was to be held on the following i hursday. This announcement was received with great joy among the hree subs, and immediately they began pondering over the s’gnals of the team and making every effoit to please the coaches and the captain. Thursday came and nearly the entire school was out to see who—Fox, Jay, or Carpenter—was to be the favored one ( arpenter was of the boisterous type and was extremely pop-ular with the “bunch.” Fox was a cpiiet looking person of athletic build, lie desired his own company onlv, and as a sub had not yet received the opportunity to show what was in him. lie was thought by the “bunch” to be practically ut of it. So he was. At the tryout, Carpenter made a sensational tackle and was instantly recognized as fullback. Fox had fumbled, and with the fumble his chance had gone. I he game with bairville was to be played Saturday Friday night Carpenter was called home on account of sickness, thus leaving Jay to play the vacant position. 4 At 1 o clock the stands were beginning to fill. One-thirty and they were overflowing. In the north wing of the stands, a lusty cheer broke upon the air, as the gladiators came forth upon the field. A trifling breeze was playing with the brown pennants and banners which were incessantly waving. Now the south wing broke, as their heroes jumped the ropes and gained the arena. Fairville had turned out in large numbers, ready to give the needed encouragement to their players. A con spun, glittering, into the air and fell on the brown d rt of the gridiron. Cullings won the toss and the captain chose to defend the north goal. Two o’clock, and both elevens were lined up for the battle. The whistle blew and a moment later the pigskin sailed out toward our goal. It was caught on the ten yard line and a run of ten yards resulted. Scrimmage after scrimmage ensued, and it was plain to the onlookers that the teams were evenly matched. 'I'lie first quarter was over with the ball on our forty yard line. In the second quarter. Fairville plunged and hammered in vain, then a forward pass netted them fifteen yards. It was first down ten yards to go, for a touchdown. Five yards was the result of the first plunge, two yards on the second, followed by a fumble which cost them eight yards. Then a neat end run put a figure 6 on the scoreboard. Somehow in that last scrimmage. Jay had turned an ankle, this laying him out of the game. The home crowd and the Fairville rooters groaning and cheering in turns, did not know this until they saw his brown form being carried from the field. Fox was summoned and, changing clothes during the intermission, was ready for the third quarter. He played the position as well as could be expected, but one thought troubled h:m greatly, “Why didn’t they call his signal more than they did? Did the quarterback think that he couldn’t hold on to it?” Fie now realized what his fumble in the tryout meant. He resolved to show them, when the time came, just what he could do. The fourth and last quarter saw the ball on our twenty-five yard line. The opposing team tried a series of line plunges, and. not gaining the required distance, shifted for a forward pass. Ninety-four, 39. 58, and the ball was snapped to the quarterback. Instantly it was on its way toward Fairville’s rght end. Just as it seemed the ball was as good as caught, an athletic form shot into the air and intercepted its course. Quick as a flash, that form was tearing down the field, toward our goal. Close behind.. Fox heard the heavy thud of feet. and not daring to look back, he guessed that he was being closely pursued. I he twenty-five yard line passed underfoot, the twenty yard line seemed to rush by. The strain of this run was nearly unendurable, still he kept on. He passed two more white marks, and still the goal posts seemed rods away. he pounding ceased, he felt fingers grasping for h:s vest, the fingers slipped and then closed upon his legs as he stumbled then fell, striking his head upon the frozen ground with the ball still tightly huddled next to his side and under his arm A dull sound like the roll of distant thunder resounded in his ears and ht knew not what happened next. Awakening, he found h mself almost buried in cushions, and saw the smiling face of the captain looking down at him. I he coach and a few others were present in the room lie was told that he had made a touchdown by a margin of four inches, and he knew what it meant. Two games of the seiies with Fairville had been won and the third tied. Fox saw the captain step toward him, and felt a small piece of flannel pressed into his hand. He knew what it was and smiling, he dropped back upon the pillows for a well deserved’ rest A. S., -16. THE INN-KEEPER’S STORY. One of my recent experiences as traveling salesman, w: s. remember, that of being obliged to remain over night in a very small and thinly populated village, near the southern part of Kentucky. As I entered the little inn. the only one in town, my whole attention was riveted on the strange gaze that the landlord cast in my direction. From the first time I saw him, until I left the next morning, 1 was deeply impressed by the strange, soulful expression on his countenance. I was the only guest at the inn that night, and after supper 1 went into the sitting-room, and fell into conversation with the proprietor. As I have said befoie, there seemed to be something very strange, indeed, about his personal appearance, fie was tali had dark hair. ?nd eyes with a rather languid expression in them, and a smooth, rather sallow face. His present attitude displayed to a large extent much of his former grace and' dignity. 1 had been in his Company for some nrnutes when he arose took a small bottle from the shelf and a small hypodermic syringe from a neat leather case. I watched him intently 9 ?tno Canar, Stanley Lockwood, Harry Scott, Clarence Lamb, Chas. Marten, Guy Humphrey, Loren Horst Trin. I). A.

The football game Saturday, October 4th, was a thing of beauty to local fans. Menomonie had a good team, but our boys outplayed them decisively all the way and won a hard-fought battle 13 to 0. 1 he ball was in Menomonie’s territory most of the time, but our boys were unable to score in the first half, although they threatened a number of times. In the second half, with the ball near Menomonie’s goal, they fumbled, and Humphrey, our rotary snowplow, took the ball and sprinted for a touchdown, after which Borst kicked a goal. After a series of plays our boys took the ball down the field and Borst went over for a touchdown in the last minute of play, although he failed to kick goal. Our team played their usual hard, clean and steady game and surely deserved to win. Menomonie was disposed to play rough after they found that they were up against the real thing.” Lineup: F.

Saturday, October 18th, our high school eleven left for ( hippewa Falls to meet the team there. The score does not at all indicate the strength of the two teams. In the first scrimmage, Harry Throne, our right end. dislocated his shoulder and broke his collar-bone, which discouraged our boys from the start. Charles Martin, who broke a rib a short time before, substituted, and played a good game. The Chippewa team was well coached, and by using a trick play ran up a score of 25 in the first half. The second half our boys more than held their own against the Chippewa team, having the ball in their territory most of the time, but were unable to score. Stanley Lockwood hurt his leg, and Lamb substituted; also Edward Knudtson broke his collarbone in the last scrimmage. Our only regret is that we didn’t meet Chippewa Falls again.

T.—Butler 20 MONDOVI, 13; NEW RICHMOND, 6. Saturday, November 1st, our eleven went to New Richmond and met their team, defeating the bonnie Irish boys to the tune of 13 to 6. This probably was one of the best and hardest-fought games of the season and which proved extremely interesting from start to finish. During the first few moments of the game, Horst crossed the goal for a touchdown, which was followed by a perfect goal, netting us seven points. New Richmond then showed more fighting spirit, and held them scoreless until nearly the close of the game, when our boys, on a fake end play, gave the ball to Horst, who went directly through the line for a spectacular run of seventy yards and a touchdown. Horst failed to kick goal. During the few remaining minutes which were left to play, neither team scored. New Richmond secured their touchdown on a forward pass, but failed to kick goal. Horst proved the star of the game, although every man on the team played an excellent game and deserved credit. F. UUUWiU i i ii v. imvup. B.—Humphrey R. G.—Connitt O. B.—Howard L. T.—Brobst L.

The way our high school football team used the second team of the Eau Cla;re high school on their visit here September 27th. Under a week’s efficient coaching of Gerald Smith of Whitewater, our boys showed some good football for the first game of the season, and handled the visitors without any trouble, demonstrating that they were to be reckoned with among high school teams in this part of the state. Although the ground was soft, our high school team rolled up 52 points while the Eau Claire team was lucky to get in a s:ngle forward pass, which netted them six points. Our boys had possession of the ball most of the time. Humphrey and Rorst starred on the offense, while every member of the team played good ball. There were only a si lall crowd present, due probably to the drizzling rain which set in during the early part of the afternoon. Lineup for Mondovi: R. E.—Charles Martin R. T.—Clayton Butler R.

An enlarged literary department would add much to your paper, and more athletic news would be appropriate at this season of the year. Where is your exchange department? 1 lie Oracle, Brodhead, Wis. Your paper is neat and attractive, with material in keeping with the Christmas season. However, we still miss athletics and news of the societies, much needed departments in every school paper. A few long stories would improve your literary department. “The Exponent.” IMatteville, Wis. This seems to have been an entirely football number and that department is especially good. However, the other school activities, such as school societies, are not represented. Why not add a literary department to your paper? I he Crimson. Edgerton, Wis. “The Crimson” is a neat paper with lots of snap to it. It has an unusually large literary department for the size of the paper, also good editorials Your cuts are original, but that’s all we can say for them. “The Laurentian.” Appleton, Wis. The football number of 1 he Laurentian can well be taken by other papers as a model of arrangement. Every detail is perfect. Your football men have been sufficiently honored by you, so we pay a tribute rather to the students and staff who put out such an excellent paper. 99 The Kodak, Eau Claire, W’is. “The Kodak,” dedicated tins month to clean sport, is up to its usual high standard. ! lie whole paper is full of school spirit and life, as is shown by the way the departments are represented. The Daily Hold I j) page is entirely original and adds much to the paper. Come acain, “Kodak.” “Radiograph, Winona, Minn. We are much pleased to welcome the “Radiograph among our exchanges. It is an unusually live paper, all departments being complete except the exchange department. Your editorials are a credit to you. Rea’izing the advantages of having a large exchange department and thus coming in contact with other schools, we nvitc all schools wish ug to exchange with The Mirror” to send us a copy of their paper. We assure them that the favor will he appreciated and a copy of “The Mirror sent in return. CLASS P R .
