It was the case of the good “small” school
winning over the good “big” school in the football game between Little Chute
St. John and Appleton Xavier. Oscar Schuler provided all the scoring punch for
the fired-up Chuters in their first win ever over Appleton Xavier by a final
tally of 21-14. Schuler climaxed the first Little Chute scoring drive as he plunged
over the line following a 93-yard drive.
Kaukauna’s high school gridders finally got
their offense rolling last Friday evening at New London and defeated the

“Through rain, snow. Sleet and hail …. nothing
shall delay him from his appointed rounds…”
Let’s see now who would this apply to?” The mailman? But I am referring
to the Times newsboy. Every Wednesday and Friday morning he hauls himself out
of bed bright and early. He picks of his
newspapers, folds them and stuffing them in a sack he follows his route
delivering the local newspapers.
