By the margin of a single point after touchdown, Minnesota, un able to beat Northwestern on its home field since 1929, finally triumphed, 13 to 12. over the hitherto undefeated Wildcats. It I was Minnesota's fifth straight win Minnesota's victory was achiev 1 ed by a powerful rushing game, 1 Notre Dame football team that had rolled i into town on the wings rl Irish boom since JL IJC'l ockne's day rode out rwii of the biggest iggest Nebraska's mighty Cornhuskers powered their way to a 13 to 0 victory over the Sooners of Oklahoma today, to take over first place in the Big Six conference and move within striking dis ance of their first title since 1937.

An indication as to how they played Friday night is found in a comparison of figures, and although they seemed to look good in the game to some of the "sideline coaches" they just didn't have everything on the table for delivery against Eldorado Springs.

The visiting team, which comes from a comparatively small school, out distanced the Tigers on scrimmage 126 yards to 66 yards; while the losses in scrimmage amounted to 36 for Sedalia and 46 for the visitors. Sedalia's passing attack "clicked" however, and they made 52 yards to 26 yards by this route. Smith Cotton did watch their off sides and soforth, and was held down to 15 yards in penalty losses, while the visitors were more unfortunate and gave up 40 yards. As I have said time and again, I feel the Tigers can deliver the goods if they will just settle down and do it. They proved they could in other games, why not now.

Just a hint to some of the players, (who think they can break training and still get in four quarters of the game) I think you should take your own self into consideration, as well as your school and coach, and stop breaking the rules as laid down by Joe Benson, the coach. It is not fair to him, to your school or to yourself, when you do these things and 28, Syracuse Columbia 0. nothing to enhance their reputation or enthuse their supporters in the crowd of 78,000.

You boys who are not walking the "chalk line" give this little hint some consideration, and I know the team will look a lot better against Jefferson City next week. Here's something for your sportsmen to think about. Last Sunday, down at Purvis Beach, Dr. and Mrs. W.

E. Pearl were fishing in their boat, when a stiff breeze came, about. Suddenly, around them, a large covey of quail dropped into the waters and Mrs. Pearl with her fishing net started in to save several of the birds, while Dr. Pearl manuevered his boat toward the bank, forcing ethers to swim on back to the shore.

There, was an act of sportsmanship. I believe Dr. and Mrs. Pearl both deserve their share of credit for their endeavor to save these birds from the waters. Acts like this one preserve the wild life of our state.

Last week, I received a letter from Miss Betty Rowe, junior student council president, to wit: First, I was given a calling down about saying Smith Cotton didn't have any pep; second, informed of the work the "Spiz Girls" do at school; third, work of the student body in beautifying the school campus; fourth, the criticism of the band, when they paraded without decent looking uniforms; fifth. Theodore Roosevelt carried a BIG STICK, but spoke with a SOFT VOICE. I learned previously the Spiz club is a Service organization, and not necessarily a pep organization, however they participate in the school activity and endeavor to create pep. These girls serve to the football teams after each game, chili and other foods, and then turn their attention to dirty dishes. I must say the girls do deserve credit for what they do, but I still contend that if they are to handle the pep of the school, their organization should be expanded, instead of holding it down to a mere membership of thirty two girls.

Certainly, there are many more girls, whose school grades and records can compare with those of the present membership. I do net say these girls are superior, and don't have that feeling, but I do say they need to expand their organization. Open up their arms just a little wider. The school has done a nice job with the help of N.Y.A. In beautifying the campus.

I dare say, there is no other high school in the state with one as nice. I do say. if the students make up their minds to have a school spirit, they can do it this being demonstrated a week ago last Friday in a farewell cheer to the team going to Hannibal. I give those kids in that Smith Cotton band much praise for keeping their chins up, when they were under the hammer of the public for the way they looked back in 1939 but no high school in the state can compare with our band this year. It's bigger and better, and they have plenty of zip in those new black and gold West Point uniforms.

Only one thing if the student body as a whole would keep their chins up, get in and pitch together, I venture to say, no school in the country could compare with it. Proof of their pep when they want it was Friday, with the Pep Assembly held at the school, after which, an honest to goodness Pep Parade and meeting in the downtown district was held. As I said previously, they can if they want to. Band Is To Be At Game his 18 yard line.

I don't have much difficulty selecting candidates to vote for, but when I come to constitutional amendments, I confess I am in trouble. Most of them are of a technical nature, some are stated in puzzling, legal language, and some, particularly Number 5, the McCawley measure, are too long for me to understand or even to read. But still I consider it my duty to vote on all questions on the ballot.

So, I just use a little common sense. I study the possible motives of those who are supporting and those who are opposing. That's how I have decided to vote NO on Number 5. I see that it is opposed by the Missouri Farmers Association, the Farm Bureau Federation, Federation of Women's Clubs, Federation of Garden Clubs, Audubon Society and the American Legion. I don't believe they could be prejudiced.

If they are against it, so am I. An Average Voter Bad Luck Evaders Amulets are objects of various substances, usually inscribed with "magic" words, and mostly are worn by superstitious people to ward off bad luck. the the game. the parent's organization helping Gardner J. Smith thefts leading ST.
