It should be noted that Grand Canyon is not in NCAA Div. 1. The Antelopes are in the ACHA, so the Lindenwood wins over the weekend don’t count on their official record. But club teams can be dangerous: UNLV’s club team beat mighty Denver U. last season.

Had a great time Sat. at The Mill in Ruma, Ill. Sold a few Blues books, great food, friendly people. And yes, the phone booth is still there! My nephew once lived in the house in the background. He knew the pay phone # and would startle “tourists” w/a call when they stepped into the booth.
