SCHOOL GIRLS  LOSE;
BOYS TRIM WELLSBORO
Mansfield high school Rirls lost a fa.st and well played game to Wells¬ boro last Friday night in Ciiunge Hall. Crippled through tlic loss of two of their resrulars, Mansfield fell down in the first half and at that pe¬ riod Wellsboro led by seventeen points. Smith, star forward for Mans- - field, out of the game due to illness, bad been sitting on the side lines watching the slaughter until she could no longer endure it. Persuad¬ ing her father to let her enter the .game she changed clothes and donned a playing suit, and plunged into the melee. While it was evident at the start that ahe was not in the best of condition, the other players took heart and gradually the lead of Wells-boro diminished until the whis¬ tle beat Mansfield out of n sure vic¬ tory. Coming up to our prediction of last week, Curtis, in the second half, bcsran to try for the basket, and hooped three in rapid succession, also tallying a foul in this period. Slmith who went in just' before the first half ended, secured a foul, Cur¬ tis having scored two diiring that time. The score then was 3-19. They play at Wellsboro Friday night, and it is hoped the full team will be in shape to play. The line-up: Mansfield—21 Field Foul Total

The boys' game was a slaughter for Mansfield, as was the girls' for Wellsboro. The final score was 28-1G. It was a very rough game, a little too much dirty work by both teams being in evidence to suit the average fan. However, it was evident that the visitors were no match for the locals. They put up a good game, but lacked the finish.

RICKEY PLEASES AUDIENCE
Famous Baseball Man Lets Audience
In on Inside Dope of the Great
American Sport.
Branch Rickey, Vice President of the St. Louis Cardinals, one time manager of that team, and a former player himself, appeared at Alumni Hall last Saturday evening, as a num¬ ber on the Normal Entertainment Course.
Rickey had a very pleasing way of approaching his subject. Immediate¬ ly he won the interest of the audience and held them spellbound through an hour and a half of inside dope on I baseball, humorous incidents in big league life, and a general appeal for clean sports.
"The bigger the 'if'," said Rickey, "the lower the club will be in the league standing." Explaining this, he said that athletic events are deter¬ mined by things that were done, not things that should have been done.
The great appeal of the entire lec¬ ture, though, was that the game be kept clean ami the players honest, be¬ cause of tho millions of young people who pick baseball players as their heroes. Boys ave hero worshipers, and the speaker maintained that "safe" heroes should be available.
JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL WINS
Preliminary to the Mansfield- Dickinson cage battle Saturday eve¬ ning, the Junior High School defeated Covington High School, 40-10. The Junior High Quint had a defense that many High Schools could envy and their passing was far above expecta- "tions. The team reflected the work of their coach, Manford Lloyd, and in- -directly the work of the Noi-mal ¦Coach, Kim Marvin. Lloyd is a fine all-around athlete and his ability at coaching certainly deserves recogni¬ tion.

TO THE FATHERS AND
MOTHERS  OF  MANSFIELD
Have you had your children pro¬ tected against that dreaded disease, diphtheria? Up to the present time about 50 per cent of the school chil¬ dren of Manslield have been given this preventative treatment. Do you real¬ ize that your failure to take advan¬ tage of this free treatment not only makes your child liable to diphtheria, but alno endangers other children. Other towns around us have taken ad¬ vantage of this opportunity, and are 100 per cent protected. Why are we holding back? Are we not as well educated a community as the others? Surely this is not the reason. I feel sure that when the opportunity again presents itself, we will all fall in line. Mansfield people are always 100 per cent in every movement for good. No bad results have attended any of the treatments thus far. In the .very near future another frw clinic for givjug toxin-antitoxin prevention for diph¬ theria will be held at some convenient place in our town. Watch for the place and date. Announcement in this paper, and let's make Mansfield girls and boys 100 per cent protected against this dreaded disease. With your help, toxin-antitoxin will be able in a few years to stamp out diph¬ theria. ¦• *    *
WHAT IS A WHITE ELEPHANT?
SEMINARY FALLS BEFORE
MANSFIELD PEDAGOGUES  )
29-16 Score Indicative of Teachers' Superiority on Court.—Miller Goes Wild, Adding Nineteen Points.
(Continued  on Page  Four.)
Did you ever see a white elephant? Then come to the big bazaar. Do yo* own a white elephant? If so will you give it to the Baptist ladies for their sale. Of course, we all have white elephants—some article we don't know what to do with—it may be a picture that does not appeal to us, but the color or subject would be just what some one else has been wanting; maybe we have more vases than we need or an odd jug that some one wants for a collection. We know one woman who has 108 jugs! Maybe you have an old brown pickle jar in the cellar that some one could convert into a lovely lamp! Maybe you have an old mirror frame or a brass candle stick or an odd chair or a hooked rug. You may find things in your attic of no special value to you and some one who likes antiques will be delighted to buy it. Far better, get these out and help buy the pumper than to store them and take a chance of fire with¬ out the pumper protection. All con¬ tributions may be left with Mrs. L. W. Hitchcock.      .
Books are another article the Bap¬ tist ladie».will collect and sell. Every¬ one has one or more that he has en¬ joyed and is willing to pass on. Look over your shelves and be ready when some one calls. If the solicitors miss you, bring it in anyway. And you need not be a Baptist to offer your white elephants and books. AU contribu¬ tions welcome. Get our your odds and ends; make up a treasure chest and thank the Baptist ladies for giving you this opportunity to give once more to this great community inter¬ est.
Mansfield Normal went through to a smashing victory Saturday night, as Dickinson Seminary bowed to a 26-16 defeat.
In this game Skeeter Brace, last yeai's captain, was again introduced to the spectators, after being absent the flrst half of the year.
The flrst half was la^rlrad by beau¬ tiful guarding and fourffiinuies pass¬ ed before either team was able to score. Miller opening with a long one, closely followed by a close-up by Sor¬ ber.
The Billports had a well-balanced five-man defense, but failed to check back quick enough and on those oc¬ casions Mansfield riddled the defense with short slashing teamwork, and deadly accuracy, .^t the times wheiT the Red and Blacks failed to break through the defense, they sunk long heaves with sufficient regularity to keep Dickinson helpless.
History repeated itself in the sec¬ ond half of the session and the Red snd Blacks only strenirthened the ef¬ fectiveness established in the early set-to. Mansfield held the Dickinson outfit at their mercy all during the game and promptly ti^tened up when the Billporters threatened.
Miller, or the Red and Blacks, play¬ ed a sensational and bAlliant game, garnering nineteen of his teams total with skillful, accurate and well-timed j handling of the sphere. The attack during the whole game was built en¬ tirely on Miller, and lie came through with a crash. Woodward secured the tap often enough to instill despair into his opponents. Mansfield copped the victory because they sacrificed in¬ dividualism for team-work.
For  Dickinson   Fiyberger    starred with four field goals and    a   trio   of fouls.   Van Antwerp tallying Dickin¬ son's other two-pointer. Dickinson—16 Goals Fouls Total
CAN  YOU  DONATE FOOD?
Steady Stream   of   Food   Needed P'eed   Hungry   People   at   the Pumper Bazaar Cafeteria.
to
Arrangements are being made to feed a hundred or so people every night of the Pumper Bazaar at the Cafeteria. So many people are real¬ izing that it will be so much more convenient for them to get their sup¬ per fTtere, rather than to go home. Tuesday night a big crowd is expect¬ ed when the Mansfield Literary Club puts on their Roast Beef and Brown Gravy Supper. And the other nights will take a considerable supply of food.    Will you help supply it?
Here are some suggestions as to food needed:
Home made baking, yeast, nut and brown breads, rolls, muflfins, cinna¬ mon buns, etc.
Cakes, pies, cookies, doughnuts^ drop cakes, 	
Potatoes and vegetables, cooked ot raw, but fine quality.
Chickens, cooked or dressed.
Baked beans, macaroni or speghet- ti with cheese, meat loaf, baked dish¬ es, etc.
Jellies, jams, pickles, celery, olives, cheese.
Salad material and mayonnaise, do not mix, but bring in separate dishes, dressing in sealed jars.
The menu committee consists of Mrs. E. H. Ross, Mrs. W. C. Crossley, Mrs. L. M. Goodall and Mrs. Lewis Nares. Telephone them what you will give and when you can give it, so that they may make out their menues. Here is a good opportunity for the people living in the surrounding com¬ munity t» contribute toward the pumper.
The cafeteria committee want ev¬ eryone to have an opportunity to con¬ tribute. Every cook has a specialty. Do not fail to make it and let the menu committee know what it will be. This committee want the lists of foods promised in their hands this week, if possible.

BIG L. S. C. ENTERTAINMENT AT HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM
The annual feast will occur Satur¬ day, February 5. Grange will call to order at 11 o'clock. The Lecturer has prepared an interesting program to be given in the afternoon.
Lovers of music -should make a point to go to the High School audi¬ torium on Thursday evening. The Normal Band is putting on a splendid musical concert for the benefit of the L. S. C. The band numbers will be interspersed with duets, solos, quar¬ tets, recitations, etc. Wendell Hallen will render one of his special acts. Everybody invited.
Last Tuesday noon's mail brought to D. L. Williams, of the Advertiser office, an inquiry, asking if he could furnish a trio, male and two females, of his Rhode Island Reds for shipment to Budapest, Hungary. It seems that a lady in Hungary had seen some Reds at a Fair, exhibited by a Ger¬ man from Berlin, and she was very anxious to secure some. This is only another proof of the fact that if you have something a little better than the average the world will make a beaten path to your door.

THEOI>ORE F. ROLASON
Mansfield  lost  another valued  citi¬ zen yesterday in the death of Theodore- F.     Rolason,  who  was   stricken  with acute  indigestion    while    celebrating his wedding anniver.sary at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse H. Inscho.    He had been seemingly in his usual goo<l health   and   was   around   joking   with his friends as usual the past few day:*. He and Mrs. Rolason went to the home Of  their   nephew,  Jesse     H.    Inscho. yesterday    morning   to  celebrate  tht- 56th   anniversary   of   their   marriage. There was no inkling of his not feel¬ ing well, until after dinner, when    he complained of feeling sick.   His death was due  to heart failure, caused   by acute      indigestion,   and   occurred   at 3:.30 p.  m.
Theodore F. Rolason was born in Beemervillc, N. J., August 18, 1845. On February 1. 1871, he was married in Tioga to Ruth Louisa Inscho. (laughter of Richard J. and Ruth Ins¬ cho. After a brief sojourn in New Jersey, they rt?turned to Tioga in the fall. The following spring Mr. Rola¬ son entered the employ of H. C. Bai¬ ley as bookkeeper in his store at the mouth of Painter Run. Later he moved to Stokesdale and worked as clerk for the Leiby Lumber Co., and the following year he moved to Mai\s- field and bought the Pitts Grocery. He ran this for three years, then bought the Beach Furniture and Un¬ dertaking business, then located in the old Methodist Church on Main Street. Later he formed a partnership with H. E. Mecalf, and they built the brick store now owned by Lynn H. Hall. This partnership continued for sev¬ eral years, until Mr. Metcalf sold out. L. B. Shaw bought a partnership in the business, which then became known as Rolason & Shaw, and they continued in the sam« location until about 1911, when Mr. Shaw took the undertaking business and Mr. Rolason leased the fumiture business to A. ^W. Kear. After a few years he sold the furniture business to Lynn H. Hall, and later sold him the building as well, retiring from business activities after a half century, during which he had risen from clerk to a man of means.
About fifty years ago Mr. Rolason became a member of tbe First Bap¬ tist Church and was one of its de¬ voted 'and active workers. He was a d^con f«r 20 years -mnd acti(/e in pro¬ moting and finishing the present church building. He was also a valued member of the Masonic lodge in Mans¬ field, having held several offices.
Ml'. Roalaon w«» known throughout the eounty for his scrupulous honesty, nis thorougt Christianity, and his genial character. Whenever you wet him you could 8ount on his brinjring you a siti;!* by his facetious remarks. He was a self-made man, and his life shows what can be accomplished by thrift and industi-y, accompanied by, character and optimism.
Besides his widow, he Is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Ellen Brownell, of Hornell, and Henrietta Rolason, of Nyack, N. Y., besides several nieces and nephews.
He and Mrs. Rolason spent the win¬ ter a year ago in Florida, in which he had been interested for many years.
The funeral will be held from his late home Thursday at 1 p. m., with burial in Woodlawn Cemetery, Elmira. The Rev. D. J. Griffiths will be the minister and the Masons will atetnd in a body.
ANNOUNCEMENT PARTY
A very pretty announcement party was given on Saturday, January 29, by Mrs. J, E. Williamson, in honor of her daughter, Margaret, announcing her engagement to Mr. Vladimir Ros¬ ing, of Rochester. Thirty-six ladies were present, friends of Mrs. William¬ son and Margaret. Bridge was enjoy¬ ed and a two course supper was serv¬ ed following the playing. The tally cards carried a bride's picture and at each place for supper were the cards of Miss Williamson and Mr. Rosing, tied with white ribbon. Decorations and favors were pink. The out-of- town guests were Mrs. Gerald Kunz, of Rochester, and Mrs. F. Parmelee Smith, of West Water Street, Elmira. Margaret Williamson is so well known and liked in Mansfield that it is needless to say her friends receiv¬ ed the announcement with sincere wishes for her happiness. She is a student in the Eastman School of Music and a member of the Rochester Opera Company, of which Mr. Rosing is Director. Her beautiful voice is developing with a great deal of prom¬ ise and she undoubtedly has a success¬ ful future ahead in the musical world. Mr. Rosing is a musician of great talent and has already made an un¬ usual success in his profession.
The marriage will take place in the near future.
