To the strains of "Auld Lang Syne" the Vets trotted out to warm, up and they received great ap- plause. There were 'i‘ony Girlotto and Hen Payne. botlt of whom played on the first.

One face was missing and much missed, too, by his many friends. That was Fred Godfrey, a sterling guard in the old days, and one who had practiced hard and earnestly for this game. Fred is confined to his home with a severe strain, and was completely broken up because he could not be on hand last night. Perhaps it was well for the Sixth Company players that Fred was not. in the game, for Ire surely used to muss them up some in the old days. .

A goal by Cahill. .wlth ‘Seymorrr‘s second one. 'tled up the score at 6-6. This was the situation when the first half ended, Everyone was surprisetl‘that the Company F players kept in the game so strongly, but there was more sur- prise when the Vets came out after intermission and commeuced to rip things up again. The Sixth Company players started to do some basket- work, Seymour and Cahlll being the Tint to score goals. lint (llriotto and Big Tom came along with a couple that‘ balanced things.

Another basket by Team F would have made it. even, but it was Dagon Who shot it and time was cupi- ed with the youngsters ahead by flour points.
