Aftei tlie »iiegon High School League's first day of inter- d Iv is Ion jilay, tliere were five lopsided scores to show for it. However, most of tlie games weren't expected to be close by much of anyone. Probably tlie biggest sur prise was Western Menno- nlte's 4-1 victory over La •Salle. Western's ,lowered at tack wasn't surprising; La Salle's lack of one was. They had tied tlie Impressive Sunset Apollos, but fell flat on their laces when confronted by Western Geneial Consensus Is that tl« booming Westem defense was too much for La Salle, offering (twin vet y little offensive opportunity. Per haps Western's win should leally le no surprise at all, if La Salle's He with Sunset was a fluke. Hut one thing Is suie.
