LOCAL PASTOR'S METHODS
ATTRACT ATTENTION
Rev. J. N. Andersen of the Synod
Church Asked to Demonstrate St
S. Work in Twin Cities.
Rev. J. N. Andersen of the Synod
Lutheran church by request attend
ed a meeting of the pastors of the
Twin City special conference, includ
ing the theological faculty at Ham
line and the President of the Synod,
the Rt. Rev. Bjorgo of Red Wing at
Luther Seminary at Hamline last
Wednesday and Thursday to address
them on the methods of Sunday
school work. Rev. Andersen has dur
ing his nine years of work as pastor
at Willmar worked out a system of
parallel Sunday school lessons in the
English and Norwegian and a train
ing school for Sunday school teach
ers which has received warm com
mendation from those interested who
have investigated the same. As a re
sult he was asked to appear before
the Twin City clergy and make an
address on the subject. His-talk Wed
nesday forenoon proved so interest
ing that he was asked to remain and
make a demonstration of his methods
before the conference Thursday after
noon, which he did. Further, at the
solicitation of Rev. C. S. Thorpe and
others he made another demonstra
tion before Sunday school teachers
from the different Synod churches of
the twin cities to the number of more
than one hundred at "Our Saviour's"
church Thursday evening. The con
ference requested Rev. Andersen to
publish his method in book form, but
this he has not decided upon as yet.
While Rev. Andersen with becoming
modesty did not wish us to publish
anything which might seem like self
praise, he cannot help but feel pleas
ed that his work is commended, and
his parishioners will be glad to know
it as well.
SEMINARY TEAM WINS.
Play First Game of Season Last Sat
urday When They Defeated Sec
ond High School Team.
The newly organized Seminary foot
ball team played their first game of
the season last Saturday and they de
feated the second high school team
by a score of 31-6. For two quarters
and a part of the third the game was
as close as any could be. The score
at the end of the first-half was 6-6,
and had Frank Sather been able to
continue at quarterback the result
might have been different. He was
severely injured however, by a blow
on the head and was forced ta retire.
This made necessary a shift in the
line up and after that there was not
much doubt-as to the result. The
wonderful ground gaining Of Roy
Christian, the visitors full back, was
the feature. Twice and again he got
away for long runs and was the hard
est man on the field to stop.

LOCAL8 L08E GAME TO WINDOM
High School Football Team Defeated
at Montevideo Last Saturday.
The local high school football team
traveled to Montevideo last Saturday
afternoon for their first out-of-town
game of the season. When the smoke
of battle cleared away the score was
18-6 in favor of the Institute team.
The Institute bunch have had the
benefit of very efficient coaching all
year, the work being done by Dr. L.
G. Smith, former Minnesota fullback.
Coupled with this and the fact that
they outweighed Willmar anywhere
from 10 to 15 pounds to the man, its
a wonder the score was not larger.
The trip was made in Smith's big
auto truck and althr they started
early so the boys could have a good
rest before the game, the hard bumps
they got told on them in the game and
they were not in the best of shape to
do themselves justice. They were not
without enthusiastic rooters however,
as the Montevideo high school bunch
was it the game and yelled for Will
mar. The rivalry over there seems
to be as bad as the local high school
and the Seminary.
At the start of the game the two
teams battled evenly for a few min
utes and then the superior weight of
the home team began to show and
they carried the ball down the field.
An occasional forward pass was sand
wiched in and in the closing minutes
of the quarter a touchdown was
made, as the result of a forward
pass. The second quarter showed
both teams at it, hammer and tongs.
A series of end runs and forward
passes carried the ball near the
Monte goal line, wherei Yarrow re
ceived a pass from Erickson and
crossed the line.
Windom scored, in this period"also,
when they had no license to do so.
The Windom bunch took the ball
down the field to the three yard line
and there lost it. Why quarterback
Cramer was ordered to play an end
around end, with the ball, on their
own three yard line will never be
known. However, it was played and
the ball fumbled, rolling behind the
Willmar goal where a Windom man
fell on it for 6 more points.
Again in the third quarter Windom
scored, as the result of a forward
pass. This was their last score of
the day as the locals fought hard
during the last quarter and more than
.held their own..
\As~ wasI predicted the interference
of the,locals, when up against:a good
team was absolutely worthless, and
the ma'n carrying the ball was forced
to go alone. Several forward pass
plays would have worked had the
pass been a few inches higher. Time
and again a Willmar man was loose,
but the pass was not high enough
and a Windom player intercepted it.
It would seem that a change in the
line up, shifting Holt to full back,
and Erickson to half back, would
strengthen the offense as at half
back Eckie could work his quick dart
ing runs just off tackle and end as
he did last year. He is the best open
field runner on the team and advan
tage-should be taken of this.
Harold Styles at right end was the
star of the Windom game, his de
fensive work being of the best. Time
and Again he broke up plays, directed
at his end of the line. Myron ran
the team for three periods, and Alfred
Aim the fourth. Both used good
judgment, but there was a tendency
on the part of the other backfield
men to interfere with Cramer's judg
ment.
Arrangements are under way for
a game with Granite Falls for Sat
urday.

feel that when they are confirmed
they are hot to lose their interest but
rather to have it strengthened in co
operating with their pastor. A very
