THE TRIP TO It was Friday morning, March i4, about five thirty, that the Basket Ball team was waiting at the C. M. St. P. depot for the train to carry us to Platteville. Wasn’t the weather beautiful (?) After a short wait our train came and we all climbed on. Nothing serious happened until we reached Woodman and found out that the ‘Narrow Gauge’ had been stalled between Woodman and Fennimore. Oh, but it was a sad bunch! We all felt sorry for Clarence. I wonder why! ! What should we do? Go to Boscobe! and drive over? That didn’t suit. Go back home and go to Galena in the afternoon? Then we would not reach Platteville until late that night.

The rest stayed around the depot, bothering the depot agent with foolish questions, some of which he answered a dozen times. At last we saw three figures coming back on the run and yelling, “We dug it out.” Then the happy bunch! suit-cases and hats went flying when we saw the train coming.

We changed cars at Montfor I where we waited fo- an hour or so which so ,'med like days to us. We thought when we got on the train that the next place was Platteville but we scon learned that we had another change to make. We were getting tired of c a gingcars. Finally at five forty in the evening the train pulled into Platteville. We were taken care of here by Normal students and were well pleaseJ with tne Ireatm T we received. When we got to the Normal we learned that Prairie du Chien was to play Dodgeville after suppe The 1 ;er of this game was to play Platteville. We ate ou- supper and went back to the Normal for the game. Wc practiced for awhile and then the referee’s whistle blew. Everyone went into it with lots of ‘pep’, and it promised to be a good game. But after four minutes of play, time was called because Leslie Rau had hurt his arm. We
