The St. Mary's Catholic grade school gridders

The official closing of navigation for 1959 on
the upper and lower Fox River from DePere to Portage and on the Wolf River from
its mouth to New London is scheduled for November 18 according to the Army
Corps of Engineers.
The Chicago Bears Sunday afternoon will be
hosting the Green Bay Packers and the third meeting of the season in Chicago.
It may surprise many to learn that the Bears are not the Packers most ancient
enemies. The Packer-Cardinal series predates the Bears series by exactly one
week. The Packers were defeated by the
New York Giants last week 20-3. “I shouldn't have started McHan,” Lombardi
said. “He had a bad shoulder and didn’t throw all week, if I had to do it all
over, I would have gone with Joe Francis.” “The Giants beat us on defense, we
never got out of the hole except one time. It was the best defensive game I've
ever seen the Giants play.”
The 1959 football season came to a very sudden
and unexpected conclusion Wednesday, when the Papermakers conceded their final
game to the Ghost because of rain, snow and wet grounds. Coach Fred Barribeau
of the KAWs, offered to play a postponed game on any field available but
Kimberly declined the offer on the grounds that they would be unable to get the
proper number of days practice in for the first match of the 1959-60 basketball
season.

An unusual vehicle owned by the C&NW railroad
made a brief stop in Kaukauna recently to inspect some railroad cars in the
south yards. To all outwards appearances the car is normal in every respect,
except for the fact that it has railroad wheels which fold up in front of the
car when not in use and warning lights and a bell.
