were tried by each side. but were fall

few minutes of play William and Mary
went to within ten yards OF their OPP
ponents goal line. After this. how
ever, the ball passed back and for

ana the half closed without either side
scoring. In the second half William
and Mary started off with & drop KICK

to determine their respective rights

The meeting was the result of
complaints made by w. B. McLach-
lin to the effect that it was impossi-
BILE to run his boat on the river be-
tween Lake Irving and Bemidji,
for the reason that the present
bridges that span the river contribute
to blocking the passage, and also
that the operation of driving logs
on other portions of the Mississippi
river at times entirely blockaded that
water way, making it impossible to
come up or 60 down the stream.

body in the city and the country tribu.
tary to the Mississippi river attend
this meeting and give their opinion to
this matter.
