C tffe Drills Hcgifi for Eagles Next Week The O’Neill Eagles will turn1 to basketball Monday, according to Coach Kelly Saindon. f^aindon said he’d r e s e tvy e eomment on H)47-’48 prospects until after at least two ■ weeks igf rehearsals GILLESPIE'S “We Service Wh»t We Seir t JU • [TWJCE THE HEftT [WITH LESS CIL O’Neill Signal - Callers Muff 2 First Period Scoring Chances The O’Neill Eagles tossed away two excellent opportuni ties to score during the first pe riod of the annual O’Ncill-At kinson grid game here Friday afternoon. A wet snow began falling at the start of the second pe riod. and from then on It was a matter of give and taka in a sea of mud. The favored Eagles drove deep into Atkinson territory twice during the relatively dry first stanza, once to the 5 and once to the 7. On both occa sions the Blues enjoyed a first down with goal to go. Fullback Bob Matthews and Quaiterback Gordon Elkins, who collaborate on the field generalship for the Blues, twice ordered first down passes that boomeranged. An alert Atkin son defense spoiled both and the name’s only two threats were history, t For Atkinson End Leroy Ross man showed best defensively. A back, Rossman plays end on de fense- Offensively, the Baler’s big fullback, Floyd Osborne, carried the burden. O’Neill’s Chuck Marsten stood out in the line. After the first period, the two clubs were evenly match ed and contested yardage bit terly. Originally scheduled as a night game, an 11th hour switch in plans and adverse weather combined to restrict attendance. Because neither school boasted an outstanding team, interest in the age-old rivalry was relative ly slight. 27 CAGERS REPORT IN INMAN CAMP INMAN — Twenty-seven an swered Coach Ralph Gray's first-call for basketballers at In man high school.

THE FRONTIER SPORTS CARDINALS CLOSE WITH 4 VICTORIES — The St. Mary’s academy Card 1 inals turned away from football this week and looked to the op leninr of the basketball season, which is only a fortnight away. Basketball rehearsals, under Cage Coach Ivan Pruss, will not j get underway for at least an other week, Rev. C. J. Werner, director of athletics, said Tues day. The first game will be with St. Joseph’s, of Atkinson, 'defending state class C champ, on December 8. The 1947 grid record: St. Mary’s 30; Lynch 0. St. Mary’s 40; Wood Lake 12. Sacred Heart (Norfolk) 14; St. Mary’s 0. St. Mary’s (Grand Island) 27; St. Mary’s 6. St. Mary’s 41; Butte 0. St Joseph’s (York) 26; St. Mary’s 0. Tie— St. Mary’s 8; Chambers 8. ' St. Mary’s 25; Spaulding 12. A1 Sipes tutored the grid team. EAGLES FINISH WITH 3 LOSSES Three reversals mar the O’ Neill Eagles’ 1947 grid record. None of these losses, however, requires an explanation as Prof. Kelly Saindon and his pupils concede a distinct edge to Ainsworth and Neligh and an “off-night” cost the game with Creighton. Friday’s finale — a scoreless deadlock with Atkinson—differs, however, and there is a strong feeling in the Blue camp that it should have been won. “Except for a few lackadaisi cal spots,” Saindon said, “I’ve been well pleased with the sea son.” The record: O’Neill 7; Plainview 0 O’Neill 27; Basset 0. Creighton 6; O’Neill 0. O’Neill 13; Ewing 0. Ainsworth 25; O'Neill 13 O’Neill 33; Spencer 6. O’Neill 31; Stuart 6. Neligh 25; O’Neill 13. Tie—-O’Neill 0; Atkinson 0. PRAIRIELAND . .. TALK By ROMAINE SAUNDERS LINCOLN—Fifty-seven car loads of grain and flour cross ed the Missouri river at Oma ha headed for the Eastern sea board to be shipped to hungry Europe. Starting on the West coast it has been known as the Friendship Train. How many cars were added after leaving Nebraska to make up another section I have not taken note. This goodwill gesture, at a time of short crops, will not impoverish us and at the same time should be an object lesson to counteract in European minds the slan der and falsehoods of Amer ican enemies abroad. Countless bundles of cloth ing and food stuffs have been sent by individuals to Europe from the Lincoln area, and just now a suburban church group is packing a carload of clothing, shoes, hats and blan kets for foreign relief work, apd these by no means were castoff articles. * * 9 I wonder v where Swift & Co. got that picture of John Addison hazing the bunch of longhorns which appeared in the half-page ad in The Fron tier recently. John was one of the pioneers in the Minneola country and when Lamont brought in 1,500 head of the longhorns from the southwest and turned them on the Min neola flats John was herd boss. If Swift did not get an honest to goodness picture of the Lamont layout with Addi son riding at the head, a clev er artist has made a likeness that settlers out around old Minneola might well preserve as a reminder of the days that were. • • 9 The title of doctor is rather badly s overworked. There are the M. D/s. hon est - to - goodness doctors. D. D/s, Ph. D/s, dental sur geons, spinal doctors, scien tific gents, cow doctors and star gaaers. An early O' Neill newspaper man ac quired the title of doctor, as did also a notorious horse thief who was handy at patching up a wounded pard. NICE DAY TOMORROW Dear Friend: I sat down with pencil in hand to type- ! write you a letter, please ex- ! cuse the pen. I don’t live where I lived before, because I moved to where I live now. So when ! you come to see ' me, ask someone where I live, because no one knows. We are having more weath- ■ er this year than we didn’t have last j^ar. I am sorry we : are so far^together, I wish we were closer apart. My Aunt Mary died and is doing fine. I hope you are the same. I started to Kansas City on my way to see you and I saw a sign that read, This will take you to K. C. Well, I got on that sign and sat there for three hours and the dumb thing just wouldn’t move, I guess it wasn't scheduled for that day. * I am mailing you a coat by express. I cut the bottom off to make it lighter, they are in the pocket. If you don’t get this letter let me know and i’ll mail it to you. Our neighbors baby swal- j lowed some pins, but they fed it a pin cushion and every- j body’s O. K. now. I would have sent you the $2 I owe you but I didn’t think of it until I sealed this envelope. Sincerely, Shirley. P. S.— Enclosed you’ll find a picture of myself, but for fear of losing it I took it out. —Miss S. R. Jones, Mo. Most everybody enjoys let ters, even such as the above. • * • I have had a "working card” in the Typographical Union. Some of its mem bers are belter union men than they are printers and • lot of others are better printers than they are union men. • • • If corn bread comes high this winter it will be account ed for by the fact that fields that normally yielded 60 bush els to the acre are reported this November to be turning out no more than 10 to the acre. The November night sky has thus far been shrouded in gloom. Maybe out on prairie - land visions of the night are decorated with celestial light glowing out of the measure- ! less depth of eternity. Here in ! the city street lamps send forth faint beams into the haze and gloom under cloud ed skies. A steady drip for a day and a night from snow laden roofs mingled a cheer less note with the splash of rain and snow upon window pane. Sun spots, maybe more correctly sun flames, in fan tastic shapes and weird de sign spreading out for thou sands of miles into limitless space from the solar furnace that lights our world, held the promise of a display of north ern lights on a grand scale. Dense clouds hovering over us in the eapitol city have ob scured sun and irfoon and stars. Night’s celestial picture has been denied but the raw earth has been made sodden in preparation of the annual freezeup. 9 9 9 Vishinsky, one of the red firebrands, says the U. S. wants to rid the U. N. of Rus sia. Well, why shouldn’t we? . . . . Gov. Peterson says there arv plenty of slums in Nebras ka. Don’t let Joe Stalin hear that! ... Warden Jones de clares his intentions. . . . One i side of a two-story family home out at Franklin was blownout when fumes from a gas stove were ignited, and three occupants of the house were put in a hospital.' Probably that German gent who came over to marry a former American nurse had no competition among the Yankees. University of Nebraska foot ball winnings are about zero. The Cornhuskers have met with defeat that has become disheartening. One bunch of youngsters, however, in Lin coln held a visiting grid team from Plattsmouth to an even break to demonstrate that the capitol city is not altogether on the losing end in football matches this season.
