Kalona Tops Columbus Junction in Armistice Day Weekend Football
About 2,000 Washington residents traveled to Wayland for American Legion events with the Washington band in uniform. A semi pro clash saw Kalona defeat Columbus Junction 7 to 0, aided by a strong band showing and the absence of Grady for Junction. Milton beat Richland 38 to 0 in the morning, Major Robert Shaw spoke, and a platform dance capped the day with a small Legion profit.
