Aided by superior weight and a young whirl, wind in the form of Kenny Helm- lndlnger the Mohawks Just packed too much punch for the Midgets. After fighting off repeated Mason City threats throughout the whole first half the locals came back the third quarter with the wind at their backs and played their heavier opponents to a standstill. At this point It looked as though the game would end in a scoreless tie. However, in the fourth quarter, the break came without warning Helmlndlnger standing on his own 20 yd.

line, got off one of his long spirals which Haines gathered in on his own 28 yd line, he started running to the right when he was hit by a Mohawk tackier. The ball slipped from his arms and rolled toward the Midget goal line. Ma. son City finally recovered on the locals' 25 yd. stripe.

The Mohawks gained 45 yards on the play. Bums and Helmlndlnger then went to work on the Midget line and Just seven plays later the Mason City captain carried the white pigskin over from the one yard line. The pass for extra point was knocked down by Haines. A little over three minutes later the first defeat In over four years was chalked up over an ervllle high school football team. The Lineup MRS.

NUMBER 77 JOINT DISTRICT MEETING WILL ATTRACT MANY Ten Temples Will Be Represented at K. P. and Pythian Sisters Meet MELVIN HARRIS TO GRAND JURY Is Now in Jail at Pocahontas Awaiting Hearing Melvin "Red" Harris, 27, of this community and Greattinger is con fined to the Pocahontas county Jail awaiting a hearing on a robbery charge He was positively identl fled at a hearing in Justice court by Miss Eleanor Koenig, an em ployee of the Town Pump cafe at Pocahontas as one of the two men who robbed the place the night of July 18. Harris was arrested in Esthervllle a week ago Friday by local police officers after Pocahontas officials had been here with his description He was then taken to that county by these officers and will be tried there. The young man's mother lives at Oraettlnger.

Miss Koenig and Miss Helen Llnnan, another employee of the Town Pump, also In the place at the time of the robbery had accompanied the Pocahontas men to Esthervllle. Miss Koenig made a temporary Identification of Harris here but Miss Llnnan was not sure either here or at the hearing in Justice court but said that the defendant appeared to be the type of man who took part in the robbery. Miss Linnan was being entertained during the robbery by the other bandit hence her lack of certainty. Karris himself took the stand and was questioned by E. R.

Donohue whom he had picked out as his defense counsel. He attempted to establish an alibi that he was at Worthington, the night of the robbery. Harris already has a court record having been convicted in Palo Alto county on a charge of bootlegging and served 90 days in Emmetsburg for the offense. LLOYD NEWELL TO HOLD PUBLIC SALE AT FARM THURS. Aldrlch Meeker Bellows Crabb Suter Burnjs Rose The Esthervllle Junior college team, that Is, ten would-be footballers' and one football player Journeyed to Iowa Falls Friday night, and with a little help from the Junior college of that city, defeated themselves by a More of 13-6.

The locals led at the half mark 8-0. The local Wolves gave Coach Rog. a very, very unpleasant evening on the bench. The local mentor had his ups and downs with green football material, but the. farce on Friday evening capped the climax.

After seeing the Wolves play the game they did against Sioux Falls, the only way an observer would recognise them Friday night, would be by the color of their Jerseys. The locals got started on the wrong foot on the opening kick off when Fransdal after nuking a three yard return of the home team's weak kick, fumbled the ball and Iowa Falls recovered. Soon after this, Esthervlllc's pass offense got to clicking and in the second quarter Aalborg took Elwood's pass and scored the locals' only marker. Now, strange as It may seem, after using a pass attack successfully, the first half, the Wolves did not do any more passing until the last four minutes of play. Then even this came to a rude Interruption, when Erickson, local tackle suffered a momentary mental relapse and tried to catch one of Elwood's pass, es, intended for an eligible receiver.

This ended the locals' last threat as there was only two minutes left at this The Iowa Falls eleven used a deceptive cross buck throughout the game. This play, after starting to the left side of the line would usually end up by coming through V. Thompson's position at left guard. Rogers made se.vearl attempts to show the local lads what was wrong but to no avail as they Just kept on playing as they had been. Elwood, local halfback, was Rogers' only ray ot sunlight, shining through the gloom ot defeat.

He tackled and hit the line with the same vlciousness that usually marks Ms play. Lloyd Newell Is having a public sale on the C. E. Strong farm locat. ed on highway No.
