Y. N. C. A. NOTES.

A small group of six or seven boys
enjoyed supper at the Y last Tuesday
evening after which an interesting
discussion was carried on. The same
group with few more if they can be
induced to attend will have another
supper and discussion group this
evening.
There has been very little doing
this week in the Y building. These
several weeks have been the quietest
that the Y directors have known for
some time, heretofore something has
been going on every other evening at
least. Activities will undoubtedly
pick up during the first part of March
and will last until summer time.
w. r. Boorman spent last Wednes-
day in Grand Rapids where he ad-
dressed a group of high school young
men who had gathered in the Con-
gregational church of that city. Mr..
Boorman had an article in the "Amer-
lean Youth" of week ago. The ar
ticle deals with the organization of
clubs for young men and speaks of
the employed boys clubs especially.
Co. A team Marshfield will play a
basket ball game with the Y. NJ. G.
A. Cardinals tomorrow evening in
r gymnasium. The Cardinals played
the team at Marshfield last week and
were victorious. With the addition
of new man, Co. a expects to bring
over a stronger team than the one
which played last week. The game
is sure to be fast and interesting.
The Co. A. team has very good
record for the year. The Cardinals
present a. strong lineup, all members
of the team being star men. A small
/ admission will be charged. The de-
bate between Wausau and Marshfeld
will detract somewhat from the at
tendance but a good crowd is ex-
pected.
