Co. "An by the Menomonie boys.
A boxing match is being planned
for the next home game. This will
materially add to the interest. Dan
Welch, the champion of the ring at
Camp Douglas last year, will be
matched against an outside boxer It
the present plans materialize. With
Dan in the ring spectators can look
for action from the first whistle to the
last.
The dances continue to be well pat
ronized and the universal opinion ex-
pressed is that River Falls is for the
first time in it's history having real
dances. The music furnished at the
last dance was highly complimented,
numerous dancers stating that it was
the best ever heard in this city. The
standard will be maintained.
The armory was closed Tuesday and
part of Wednesday while new lines
for the different courts were being
painted. The Volley Ball court is now
complete and henceforth there will be
no excuse for the heated arguments
between Chris Wiger and Joe Wads-
worth as to whether or not an ex-
tremely nice shot goes out OF
bounds. There has been some talk
of having some members of the Club
put up bonds to keep the peace IN
connection with the games.
The armory floor is being used every
afternoon by the members of the
Athletic Club. Some great games OF
Volley Ball and Hand Ball are being
played. Those members Of the Club
who are not using the gym. are miss
ing great opportunity. The shower
baths are coming in for their share of
the sport.
There has been considerable annoy
ance on account of, outsiders, prlncl-
pally youngsters, coming into the ar
mory ard using the athletic equip
ment. Children has been repeatedly
sent out only to return as soon as the
ermorer's back was turned. 1t should
be understood that ony members of
Co. ga" and of the Athletic Club have
any rights on the floor or in the ar
n1ory. An exception is made OF drill
nights. when citizens may come In to
watch the drill. At all other times
the public is not invited. Parents
are requested to speak to their child
rem concerning the matter and in this
way save the management and the
children the embarrassment of having
to use other means to enforce the rule.
Plans are being made for real"
St. Patrick's Day Dance. Lay your
plans for that evening. This undouot-
eddy will be the biggest dance of the
winter. Announcements will be made
later in this paper.
