The flowers were made by veterans in the hospitals of the country. Some of them are unable to walk, while some are helpless with the exception of their hands, which they use in making the flowers. In this city the members of the Tri Kappa, Delta Theta Tau and Psi lota Xi sororities and girls from the , schools of the city, sold the Forget- , me-nots. Local citizens responded to the appeal in a fine manner. ———o i Ford Turns Over In Ditch On Ft.

The Fourth Down By Willie Punt A regular made-to-measure football day. The weather man can't be blamed by the losing team today. This is the kind of day football was meant be played on. Pardon us* for saying, “we told you so,” but did you notice that C. C. H. S. beat Huntington by three touchdowns. Leady should have waited until today to end his column as this is "For-get-Me-Not Day.” Tip Offs in the Bluffton News, in commenting on the Bluffton-Portland grid game today, opinions that it would be a novel record if the Bluffton team failed to score today, making a scoreless season for t>i' team. Well, rather, but who would want a novel experience like that. The big "Football Today” sign was stretched across Second street today for the last time of the season. We’re* sorry, but the frost is on the pumpkin, you know, an dthe basketball fans in hundreds of cities, towns, hamlets, burgs and cross roads are getting restless. But let's talk, cat an dsleep football for two more weeks, fans, until Peru and Van Wert have been vanquished and the loving cup of the Wabash Valley conference is reposing in the big brick building at the corner of Fifth and Adam# street, this city. , Speaking of basketball, thirty candidates for the Yellow Jacket quintet answered the first call of Coach Buck Howard last Tuesday night. Coach Howard is holding a light workout at the gym each evening now for those candidates who are not out for football. Several Yellow Jackets will perform on Ahr's Field for the last time as wearers of the Purple and Gold this afternoon. We hate to see I hem go. for their faces will he missed, but we must keep moving. Some of them, no doubt, will continue their playing on college gridirons and we predict that some of I Item will make good. Here's a bid of good news: Wilkinson beat Peru yesterday, 33-0. (tn to Peru, you fighting Yellow Jackets. • o —< Huntington Defeated By C. C. H. S., 32-12 Fort Wayne, Nov. 10—The C. C. H. S. eleven won from the iffmtington public high school in a fast and interesting game at the Lincoln Life field yesterday afternoon by a score of 32 to 12. Sweeping end runs featured the game, neither side resorting much to line plunges. Bucher, quarterback for the Huntington team, proved himself to bo their mainstay by scoring two touchdowns. The Catholics gained most of their ground
