Stevens Points gridiron warriors
will be here tomorrow (FrIday) for
the first of the inter-normal champ
lOnship series. The dope would in
dicate in favor Of the Point, as on
Saturday they trimmed up Chippewa

Then, too, Vezina will probably
be out OF the game tomorrow, and
two or three others are more or less
bunged up from Saturdays game.
Put. as was shown in the last part
Of that contest, there are mighty
good substitutes in the Red &, White
SQUAD, and with the machine work
ing as it was toward the close of
Saturdays game, River Falls will
make strong bid for victory

give local business men, who have
given school athletics splendid finan-
cial support, an opportunity to be
present.
