Monday, December 4 PAGE TEN TOO MANY NAMES FOR MAIN STREET OLD ONE REMAINS jm rOY DEPA LA CROSSED TRIBUNE. So much diversity of opinion resulted from the appeal for suggested changes in the name of Main street, that the civil bureau committee has decided It is best to let the project aione for the present. The Chamber of Commerce committee, at a recent meeting, decided on the following report will delight the hearts of the little ones and- solve the problem of what Santa Claus should bring them. The illustrations here shown will give you an idea of the variety and quality of our large assortment Dolls, Your committee is unanimous in the belief that a change in tne name Every Shopping, Day Until Christmas The Basement will sell 1 article only at HALF PRICE. Tuesday, All Day Tinker Toy sold the world ovfer for 50c Tuesday half price or 2 of Main street would add dignity to the city.

However, in view of such difference of opinion, it would seem inadvisable to press the matter, and your committee therefore recommends that the Civic Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce of La Crosse i take no action in the matter for the I present. The committee also announces that the Street Railway company has agreed to change the name of Oak Grove Cemetery line to Myrick Park and that as soon is the com-! panys new schedule goes into ef-j feet the cars will stop on the near side of the street. The committee which had these matters in hand is composed of Messrs. R. W.

The figures: Official Standing of Teams Now that football has sung its swan song, the attention "of athletes and fans at the high school is turned to basket ball. The gym has been thronged the last few weeks with candidates. So far Norman Gruen-zer has been in charge of the basket tossers as Coach Bell has been busy with football, but things started in earnest Monday.

The football men, however, will be given a week's vacation before they have to start training again. Captain Layman will have many of the old stars back this year and it looks as if old may come back to La Crosse after a long absence. Big Rudie Blatter will be back at center but he will have to fight hard if he keeps his position against Gruenzer, who was unable to play last year on account of scholastic difficulties. Then there is the cream of last year's class teams, Denny, Cys-maniak, E. Blatter, Reget, Nyhus, and Weeks.

Nyhus and Weeks last year could play through scholastic difficulties. E. Blatter and Reget should both cop places, for last year they succeeded in heating their big brothers out of their places for two weeks after the class games closed. Denny plays a consistent game at running guard and is a dangerous man on account of his shooting ability. Cysmaniak, Weeks, and Nyhus, Coach Bell will have plenty of material to develop a good running mate for Captain Layman at forward.

The this year is better than it has been for a long time, and even breaks in the luck. La Crosse should bring home the state rag. Individual Averages Games Pins A. Miller, S. II 2 7 i E.
