GARNER IS EASY FOR ACADEMY BOYS
Local Team Romps All Over Field With The Visitors
Piling up 42 points in the first half and an additional 32 in the
last, the
local Academy boys on Friday romped over Garner to the tune of 76
to 7. It
was evident from the first few plays of the game that the Hancock
county
boys had stepped into too fast company. They were on the
defensive for the
biggest part of the contest, being able to score only once by
means of a
forward pass.
It was a great workout for the Emmetsburg team. Smashes and end
runs netted
yard after yard and considerable was done towards perfecting the
forward
pass and all at Garner's expense. Many substitutes were run in
during the
game and all of them more than came up to expectations.
Prouty GARNER's right end, proved adept at punting and PULBRY,
full back of
the squad, played a consistent game for the losers.
Regarding the local boys- the line as is usual, displayed its
full strength
and the entire backfield worked with harmony and precision.
Several
sensational runs were made by the home backfield men.
The result has proven a great stimulant to the boys for their
game with
Worthington, Minnesota on Friday.
The following was the line-up:

ANOTHER SURPRISE PARTY
In Honor of Mr and Mrs Lawrence REILLY Held Thursday Evening
Thursday evening Mr and Mrs Lawrence REILLY of this city enjoyed
another
pleasant surprise from their many friends. The callers did not
propose to
allow them to depart for their new home near Litchfield,
Minnesota, without
substantial evidence of friendship and good will from their
numerous friends
in this community. Cards were enjoyed for a couple of hours after
which a
splendid lunch brought by the visitors was served. Mr and Mrs
REILLY were
presented with a fine set of silver knives and forks, which will
often
remind them of the enjoyable occasion. Several families from
Whittemore wre
in attendance. They included the BUTLER and FANDEL folks. John
BUTLER
brought along his elegant violin and treated all present to some
of the
music that was so popular at dancing parties at Whittemore from
twenty-five
to thirty years ago. We need not say that the light fantastic was
tripped
for an hour or more and that a few of the step dancers of
Emmetsburg and
Whittemore distinguished themselves. The gathering will be
happily
remembered by all who had the good fortune to be present. Mr and
Mrs REILLY
have every reason to feel pleased over the good will manifested
towards them
by their friends and neighbors.
