Speaks About Corvallis Game.
In answering query as to the prob
ability Of securing the playing Of the
Corvallis Libby football game in Libby
A. A. Wood stated it was entirely a
matter OF finances. At the last two
games here, said Mr., Wood, there had
been fine gates-one OF $50, the other
4 OF $102 That was the largest gate at
any football game played here in the
last seven years he said. If the Corval-
lis team came here, 1T would require
an expense fund Of about $500. Against
that there would probably be a gate
u of about 500. leaving hundred dol
lars to be raised by some other means.
IF the Libby team went to Corvallis,
the expense. in addition to what they
would receive, would be about $50
MIR. Wood remarked that he did not
wish anyone TO think the school is
asking that this money be raised here:
that he simply was stating facts as
they existed, and that those interested
were to take whatever action they
thought wisest.

report the action to the school which,
he knew, would be joyfully received
as the school valued highly the sup
port Of the community. Mr.. Wood also
stated during the evening that the sue
cess of the Libby football team was
resulting in good publicity for the city,
