"ROUNDY SAYS" !

"Roundy," the capable sports writer
on the State Journal had a number of
pleasing things to say OF the Lancas-
ter Kiwanis football banquet which he
attended last week. Some of them
were:
ut was the finest affair l attended
of this sort for high school boys in
years. 1t was put over with all kinds
of class and it was mighty gather
ing of real boosters from Lancaster to
pay the boys of the teams real hon.
age and drive them on to greater
deeds in athletics, scholarship and on
to Wisconsin, when they are done with
high school.
1T was a great gathering of fight
ing boys who gave all they had to
their school and coach this year. The
Kiwanis club of Lancaster can feel
mighty proud over their affair. 1t was
wonderful and the happiest gang of
high school boys you ever saw before
in your life.
''This is the spirit to show the boys
that you are back of them, win or
lose, that meant a lot to them on the
gridiron. on the basketball court and

class work. 1t was one of the best
things to promote good feeling among
the schools and for athletics and to
give the boys the finest idea when
they are done to come on to Wiscon-
sin. What more could be fairer?
"Charles Chase was POSTMASTER and
he is wearing all the blue ribbons in
that county since-he went over big
Mark Hoskins, a former Wisconsin
catcher, was song-leader and he was
a big hit, he made the boys sing loud
and keep on shouting all the way
he ate so much he couldn't sing him
self after the feed. A kid named
Richard orion was cheer-leader and
some varsity cheer leaders could go
down and take lessons from this piece
of T. N. T.
Little gave mighty fine talk and
explained the athletic program at
Wisconsin and the scholarship back
ground. Them boys were the happiest
gang of boys you ever saw to see Lit
tie as their guest. Little went over
big and was the hit of the evening
CIV. J. Brennan gave the address of
welcome and is the new county judge
this one w. J. Brennan No wonder
they elected him they couldn't elect
finer man, smarter man or a
squarer man. His presence at the
banquet meant lot DR.. Kraut for
got his speech but he sure had another
bearcat in his mind as he was awful
good and its fine to forget one and
have another one like that left.
Principal McNelly CT Lancaster had
some nice remarks for the team and
the coach and that is the stuff that
counts. DR.. Fowler, DIR. Doolittle, Dr.
Kraut, all great football boosters for
the boys were there strong at the
banquet and their presence meant
lot and this is the spirit to show.
1T was through DR.. Fowler that |
was brought down there-he is back
of the team win or lose to the limit
and a mighty fine man. DR.. Doolittle
is a prince, try and find a nicer man,
and he was all smiles to see the boys
having such a mighty nice time
Frank Meyer the banker met Little
and Roundy at Montfort and drove us
to Lancaster and as an auto driver he
is some sweet little banker. He sure
went around them curves plenty-Lit-
tie leaned over to me and said I guess
we will never see 1926.
Eastman the lumber man down
there tried to sell me a house I told
him I'd buy a roof first and to ship me
a bunch of shingles to Madison for a
starter-he said COD. I said yes
try and collect.
FLETCHER the owner of the Wright
House owes the Kiwanis some money
as they sang song and you had to
stand up and wave your arms then
sit down. Fletcher stood UP three
times and every time he came down
he broke chair with that 230 pounds
of his. They finally bought him
rocking chair and from then on--he
was sitting pretty"
