Coach William Brennan. Jr. is
highly pleased with the showing of

While the visiting club was much
lighter ihan the locals. still they had
gone through two seasons undefeat-

They made a very fine appearance
and came here with twenty-seven
uniformed men, thereby creating e.
fine impression. That the game was
interesting was very evident by the
fact that the large crowd stayed to
the end and was not diiven home by
the rain. It was also gratifying to
the coach to see his men come
through without injury and speaks
well for the herd practice they have
