ever, the Japs white-washed the

night, 211-0. And Grants Pass
is defending stale champion
and one of the strongest teams
in the slate. The Japs knew
this, however, and were up real
high for Die Cavemen in order
to put in a good showing. And
how they did it.

the 98 games of the 14 NKL clubs
totaled 4,003,421, up 17,2112 over
