quet prepared on an elaborate scale
will be given in the team IS honor by
the North Side Commercial club at the
Third Ward Republican hall, Plymouth
and Aldrlch avenues.
The whole North Side is justly proud
of it's team, which played the entire.
season with only single defeat, and
this defeat was accomplished by meth
DDS which the North Siders believe
unfair and unsportsmanlike. The team
is accordingly looked upon as an in
vincible aggregation and has the cor
dial admiration Of all North Siders.
The Commercial club has laid itself
out to carry out the banquet with eclat
and will endeavor to give the team
and its friends such an entertainment
as will make them feel the hearty ap-
proval which that section of Minneapo-
lis accords to it's winning wearers of

very busy arranging the hall, which

ors of the North Side high, will be
| everywhere in evidence. The colors
will festoon the walls, will hang pend
emit above the table and will cluster in
rich elegance all over the banqueting
table.

rangement is in the slight lack of har-
mony that b; has developed between the
club and the alumni. The alumni
think they have not been sufficiently
consulted in the arrangements and

little nettled. The alumni gave q
similar banquet three years ago and
for this reason thought it ought to
have been consulted little more free.

to have been amicably arranged.

and Pillsbury academy.
In each game victory was with the
North Siders, except in the game with

charged. The North .Siders have al
along claimed that. Pillsbury played it,
