appreciated! The boss hollered his
head off about the item after it
appeared but has not said a word
about it since. What we said still
goes. Any place which caters to
large crowds as does the Rest must
have stringent peace regulations
and plenty of ''bouncers" to put
out, pronto, the unruly. It's
better to provide your own policing
than to have the place closed up! A
certain st. Paul grille is going
around with two boy friends, both
of whom have wives and children
in other cities. T. A. has sud
denly gone in for public discussion
of newspaper ethics. B. has
brought himself another new car
and a girl friend from Chicago and
they say she's mellow. The
good looking st. Paul divorce who
plans to go back to her hubby is
having a last fling in the yawning
spots in Minneapolis. The lodge of
fetal who thinks every item in this
col. which names a prominent
fraternal figure" means him ought
to wake up! He must think he's
the only fraternal big-shot in this
neck of the woods or maybe he
thinks he's Hitler?

MCGEE, Russell, Collins and Skinner were

we can say that these boys must be
given credit for their splendid showing,
this being their first season together as
a team. To pick out an individual star
of the game would be unjust, all we can
say is that the team functioned as a
