we, who are members but live out here
on the outskirts do have a voice at l
these large conventions. I have had
the remark made to me several times
hat a mere member has nothing to
say at a convention of this nature.
As a matter of fact I was more or less
convinced until I attended the gather-
lug and took part in it.'"
The convention was climaxed with
an elaborate banquet held at the
Knights of Columbus hall in James-
town. The banquet room was crowded
to capacity.
In closing now I would like to
fate that I wish more of our members
could have attended and next year I
hope that our state convention will
be held nearer so that a number of
members will be in attendance.
Sincerely,
ERVIN UECKERT.

~he Beach high ~hool football
team met and defeated Belfield for the
~,econd time this season and again the
margin of victory was two touchdowns.
The game was played on the Beach
field last Friday afternoon with the
Beach team winning by a score of 12
:to 0.
Numerous fumbles and poor block-
:Lug kept both teams on the defensive
,throughout the entire game. Beach's
attack continually bogged down after
~enetrating deep into scoring territory.
*The Beach team finally scored in the
• second period with :Gilman circling Ieft
~end to score th'om the four yeard
.stripe. The try for the extra point
failed and the half ended with Beach
leading 6 to 0.
Gilman scored his second touohdo~u~
early in thc third quarter when he
gathered in a blocked Belfield Pun~
and went twenty yards unmolested to
score. Beach fumbled on the try for
extra point and the score stood 12-0.
The Buccaneer offense bogged down
completely in the last half and they
were unable to do any further scoring.
