REYIEW OF RACE
FOR COLLEGE TITLE
Tho Carleton Won Championship
Fairly, St. Thomas Has the
Strongest All-Bound Team.
GU.
Carleton finished at tbe head of the inter
collegiate league, with St. Thomas so close a
ecoud as to all but pull ahead,
the college league was not nt
The race in
any time in the season except when St Thoma i jpmalv.ek
lost to Carleton. The outcome of the other
games was almost a foregone conclusion, with
the exception of the game in which Maealester
climbed to third place on the shoulders of
Hamline.
The teams in^the league stand -a* follows:
r.., Carleton.-. first St Thomas second Shattuc
third: Macalester. fourth, and Hamline. fifth
Carleton won. from all Ave of its opponents. St
Thomas lost only to Carleton. Shattuck was de
fealed bv the champions, and so badly used up
that it war forced to cancel its game vi-ith^St.
Thomas. Macalester lost to Carleton and Shat
thek and canceled its game with St. Thomas.
The championship team Is a fairly heavy and
well-trained aggregation, and Is fortunate In
having one or two exceptionally good men. It
only' close call was in the St. Ttibmas game,
where it came within an ace of being retired
from the race. Only the quickness and presence
r mind of I'ap.t.iin Lee, who broke away for
run on a fumble In the last five minutes of
play, saved the Congregationalists from defeat.
The game had been close, but the advantage
had been entirely with the saints, who kept
the ball pretty constantly in the visitors' terri
tory, tho miablo to score until the very last of
the second half.
S*. Thomas Strongest.
gt. Thomas, tho holding the second place in
the league, had the strongest team. The only
Hard for Macalester.
Macalester had a very trying season, and be
tween the strength of its opponents and the
persistent opposition of President James Wal

21. Hamline. 0 to 5: Oct. 27 Carleton. 2 to

Hamline played thru the season with the
loss of every championship game, tho she de
served better luck. The season's record is

Asylum Rules Cause Trouble.
There Is a controversy oe the rules of the
La Crosse county insane asylmn between the
county board of supervisors and tbe trustees
of the asj-lnm. For some time it has been .the
rule at the institution not to admit visitors on
Sundays. One of the county supervisors and a
party of friends called at the asylum on a Sun
day and asked admittance. They were refused
by the superintendent.
At a recent meeting of the county board a
resolution was adopted providing that, visitors
be admitted at any time ou all days of the
week. The bpnrd of trustees of the asylum
adopted new rules providing that visitors. be
admitted only, on three days, of the week and
never on Sundays. The trustees claim the county
board has no jurisdiction over the asylum, but
that the institution is conducted .under the state
board of control.
Escapes from Asylum.
Frank Koehler. aged 20 years, who was re
cently committed to the county Insane asylum

escape.

war. He was a captain of a La Crosse company
and was killed on the battlefield. The Imild
ing was one of the oldest landmarks in the
city, and at the time It was destroyed was used
for saloon purposes.
