PERSONALITIES
By Nellie Dodson

IuSy uSClueu W give boxing SNOW
and dance. They were so pleased
with the way things turned out,
that they are already planning for
a larger show to be held sometime
in January. The next presentation
will have a greater variety of
bouts, both wrestling and boxing,
and will offer even more entertain
ment than Saturday nights affair.
Everybody who went over to
Wheatley Saturday, was more than
satisfied with the show the boys
put on.
I thought the main trouble was
that the mat of the ring was in
tended for boxing rather than
wrestling, and the wrestlers got
pretty well banged up from con-
tacting the hard floor. Next time,
a softer mat should be used. 1
suppose it's not the easiest thing
in the world to get a mat suitable
for both wrestling and boxing, but
it seems that some improvement
could be made.
Lloyd Shanks and Archie James
staged a pretty good wrestling
tussle for a couple of amateurs.
They had the folks bowling and
roaring for plenty of rough stuff,
and believe me, the boys dished it
out! "Swede" Olson and Jess
Stevens put on wrestling match
that saw Jess at a slight disad-
vantage because of Olson's expert
ence. The latter had a couple of
injured ribs so he couldn't do so
much, but what he did show was
sufficient proof that he knew the
game just leetle bit too we'll for
Jess to cope with him successfully.
Norm Light and Ron Judy ex-
changed punches in boxing bout,
but the main event of the evening
was between Al Mcclure and Wally
Hagen.
This Hagen kid showed some
stuff that made him stack up as
rather promising ring material for
the future, should he ever decide
to quit the University and go in for
pushing leather for living. He
knows how to cut loose and let the
punches fly without laying himself
wide open to his opponent. He
spars to get his advantage, and he
does it well for an amateur. He
doesn't waste energy on a lot of
useless motions, and he doesn't get
winded easily. In the next show,
it might be a good idea to match
him with somebody who could
really give him a tough battle so
that he could be tested under fire.
The Twentieth Century boys
promise to bring in some outside
material for their next show, and
that sounds like a good evenings
worth for everybody.
HERE AND THERE: Horace
Bell just couldn't believe his eyes
when he looked upon the lush Bob
by Coleman for the first time.
That's the usual effect she has on
the lads, though. Andy Clark
is having Double-Trouble again. =.
There is a rumor going the rounds
that a Majestic gel has been Sc
cretly engaged to a st. Paul man
about-town for a long, long time,
and that their parting of the ways
year ago was not the real Mccoy,
but just stall until the lad gets
enough cash in the bank to start
out love-in-a-cottage, or in an
apartment,-or somewhere. A
Minnesota Golden Gopher foot
baller is car-azy about st. Paul
femme, but she doesn't know it..
And I can't make up my mind
whether or not to tell 'er abooot it..
=. Imogene James changes the
style of her hair dress with just
about every costume, and that is
pul-enty. :. Charlie Ekkerd home
to Philadelphia, Vida Parker home
to Chicago, Ruth Baltimore to ST..
Louis for the holidays, or at least
