follow. Bonners Ferry did not
have enough different weight
groups to have a complete card
with them so Oliver Decker brought
live boys down from Libby to com
pete with the other Troy boys.
Even though Libby does not have
a regular boxing team the boys
from there did very well. It is
hoped they will have a team or
ganized to compete with the Troy
boys in the near future. The bouts
which were scheduled with Noxon
for this coming Saturday have been
postoned until April 10 due to the
condition of the roads. Don't for
get to turn out for another good
card Saturday, April 10th when
Noxon will bring over a full team.
