Purchasers of the tickets will be admitted to the Feb. 8 bouts against the Ontario Tigers beginning at 7:30 p.m. in the local gymnasium, and will also have a chance to win one of two door prizes. Winners of an electric blanket or an electric clock need not be present when their names are called.

Local JV matmen are working with the varsity boys to help raise the uniform funds and will be pictured in next week's issue of the Journal. —Photo by Schoen.
