This town, with a< population about as large as our own town, lies in the midst of - the oil fields of western Kansas. A squad of twentyone boys, two managers and Coach Reed left McHenry Thursday morning, October 21. aide the building, stages of the Emancipator's life are shown. Statues of him from boyhod till manhood caught the boys' attention. A beautiful and solemn sight was the actual grave. Flowers and soft lights added peacefulness and solemnity to the place where the greatest hero was laid to rest. Of course the state capitol building was a fine sight, also. However, the boys didn't stay long for fear of being too late for the game.

Of course, a good old bag mitt iaas, and it is there that Glenn Cunning- ^.rm.as..yo 1 u?„aP^to^nd: ham, world's greatest miler, came into notoriety. The football fields of Kansas have very little grass which is quite common to that state. In Hutchinson, Kansas, a great parade was held in honor of the football game that night between Hutchinson and Big Bend. Two bands participated and the parade was three blocks long. That's how those southerners like their football. The air was chilly as the bus finally reached Stafford at about 9 o'clock Friday night. The people welcomed us as if they had known us for years.. The southern speech was noticeable' ^ formed by natures own have a much droopier effect than the glove mentioned. -I-- Most of us can well remember when our grandmothers knitted mittens for us as winter approached. Sometimes the highly colored wool would tint your hands in the wake of a snowball fight, but nobody cared about that. - --B-- A huge half of a towering tree graces the lawn of our ranch, twO fork-like projections Supporting one end as the other end braces against the trunk of the tree proper. A stout and the boys liked to hear the Kansas drawl. They, in turn, liked our speech and said it sounded eastern. The oil fields, of course, interested the northern boys very much. Also , , . the dryness of the country and the j hftve to take that up with the sandy roads seemed very unusual to I neighborhood who have hands. Now, the point is this. Sofrre people ask us when that tree is going to be removed and dog-goned if we know the McHenryites. The people are very hospitable and cordial. They use little" slang, but have many of their own expressions. One boy was taken aback when his host asked him, "Do you all want three, or four eggs this morning?" The day of the game, Saturday, the boys were treated to a free show by the StafFordians. The footballers rested ulitil the time of the game and there Witnessed a hufee crowd of 4,000 people. The spectators were gayly decked for the event. The girls wore riding habit and the boys wore gaylycolored suits. The Stafford team was dressed very brilliantly with purple airplane silk pants. The goal posts were decorated with colors of the schools. During the half, the school band paraded and played the school songs. The trip back was filled with as many thrills as the trip down. A stop was made at Excelsior Springs, Missouri, the great health resort. Also, the Mark Twain museum was visited at Hiannibal. Here many of the writer's relics and belongings were exhibited. All in all, the boys had a wonderful trip, visiting six colleges and two state capitals. The capitol at Topeka made the bo^'s jealous, because they thought it was a little newer than our own capitol building. At Kansas City a huge thirty-four story building could be seen above all others. It is set off from the other structures by huge flood lights., Perhaps, that group that did not make the journey can make a trip next year and I'm sure the people of McHenry will support them as they supported the team this year.

' Seems we read an article in the Readers Digest about some town in Michigan that went in strong back-yard playgrounds.

They'll have to be on their toes next Saturday when they hook up with Minnesota or those biff fl wed-- will pin their ears back. ; --I-- Our o^ football squad didn't fare so well on the Stafford, Kansas, grid* iron last Saturday night, but the boys had a fine trip. We plan to pick up a separate story on that if the boys will open up. --I-- Anyhow, we want all the gang whtffx mad? that trip to listen in on this: While you fellows were oh your way down there to Kansas, our west side druggist (Glenny) shot off his mouth about treating you fellows to sodas on your return. He may forget it now that you lost the game, but don't let that bother you. March right in there and demand a soda. We have a reliable witness that he made that generous offer. --i-- Maybe you had better have a banana split, fellows. It's on the house. We'll make that bird pay for his meanness. He will stall us off on a cigar, will he! Bob Weber says that Jack "Automate" Manders has kicked 179 out oi 182 tries for points since he's beeir with the Bears. On top of that, he kicked fo\ir more last. Sunday to help trim the Detroit Lions. With old "Automatic" Jack in there, the other teams ought to concede the point to the Bears and go on with the»game. It would save time. There are plenty of people up Mill „ nesOta way who will.tell you that Jack Manders is a better football player than old Bronko Nagurski. We'll take the Bronk when it comes to ripping a line to bits. --• • Charlie UntI put on quite a show on t>ne of Chicago's busy streets one windy day last week.
