worth high. This is the second
home appearance of the locals, and
they should be greeted by a large
crowd. True, they have not won
many games yet. but they cannot
hope to win until they have had ex-
perience, and it will be hard to get
experience unless the home folks
support them. Be a true sport and
come out and encourage the boys.

fought, even though they look sure
losers for the locals. Buy ticket
and help fill the hall.
In last weeks Journal we had a
short item regarding the new comet
which had been discovered the pre-
vious week by astronomers in South
Africa. 1t was first visible here on
Thursday evening, Archie Shepard
being the first in River Falls to have
the honor of glimpse of it. 1t is,
as we stated, located in the western
sky trifle to the south of the set
ting sun and up about forty or fifty
degrees from the horizon. 1t may
easily be found by locating the eve
ming star, Venus, in the southwest
sky. From Venus drop a perpen-
dicular line to the horizon, ard from
Venus another line northward from
this at an angle of forty-five degrees.
This line will pass approximately
through the head of the comet.

visible until nearly 6:15. II was
seen on Friday and Saturday eve
nings and also Sunday evening
