Preliminary to the main event a game between our
Juniors and a Mitchell Hall team resulted in a victory
for the latter, the score being 17 to 13. A good game.
Our basketball Reserves went down to defeat on

team. It was really some game—more of a fight than
the score indicates. To shorten a long tale, we lost
to the tune of 42 to 20. The game was fair on both
sides and we were a!l pleased in every way excepting
with the tune of the score. A little discord there!
