Ladysmith \. G. VS.. Stanley City
team Ladysmith A. c. Seconds VS..
Gilman City team-that's the basket
ball card for tonight at the highscho0l
gym.
Stanley has a very fast bunch. They
played Chetek 20-21 at Chetek and held
Thorp to q one-point win at ThOrp.
Those two games alone show that the
Stanley team is good one.
The Stanley aggregation is composed
chiefly of former River Falls Normal
stars. Quasi, at center, is an old high
school star and played with Stevens
Point Normal a few years ago. Chris
tiansen, forward. has starred with the
MenOmonie city team for the past three
years, and before that played with
Stout Institute. Anderson, the other
forward, was all-state highschool for
ward in 1916 and later played with
the champion Oshkosh Normal five.
O'Neil. guard, was highschool star,
and Shock, the other guard, played
with the Chicago Athletic five the past
two seasons. There is possible chance
that Stanley may bring a couple of
Thorp players with them, as they are
coming to win.
Gilman Coming to Front
Gilman has improved one hundred
per cent, ii is said, the last two months.
They defeated Troop 3 team 1922 at
Gilman three weeks ago. r. Reik, of
Ladysmith, is coaching the Gilman
quint.
Manager Macdonald promises the
public high-claSs basketball so long as
the local team is well supported. If
YOU want good games, turn out.
Fast Teams Coming
On Feb. IA the Kibbe-Welters Col
legians will be here. They have shown
their ability by trimming Wisconsin
Rapids 40-13.
The New York Nationals, who de-
feated the Milwaukee Bright Spots
last Saturday 25-14 are headed this
way and it is expected that Ladysmith
fans will see them in action on the To-
cal floor in the near future.
The Kibbe- Wolters team is composed
of former Milwaukee normal and
School of Engineering players of
couple of years back, and includes in
it's lineup Kibbe, the Bright Spot"
star. Wolters. former normal man.
These players have been playing to-
gether for the past eight or ten years,
so some good team work may be eX-
pected. Ray West and Cal Droeghamp
complete the lineup. Both OF these
men performed at Milwaukee normal
at the same time that Kibbe Wolters
and Hammeter did.
Without doubt this is the fastest
bunch we have had on our floor this
year, and everybody should turn out
to help the manager get these KIND OF
teams here.

northeast corner of the Ford Build
ing. where 1t is planned TO have a
corner entrance at Tenth and Mar
ket streets, until some alterations
are made in the foundation. When
the building was erected the corner
column rested on a short II" beam.
Mr.. Preston has directed that the
beam be replaced by others connect
ing with the columns both on Mar
ket and Tenth streets, so that any
additional weight coming on that
corner cannot cause the "I'' beam to
tilt.
The alteration IS not ordered be-
cause OF any present weakness in
the structure. but simply to guard
against any weakening of the build
