they divided forces and played against each
other, one side wearing white and the other
green uniforms.
Ex-AssessOr Nealon was in the game this
time and he took shy at the leather and

word "corquer." and that comes from the
Latin "corcare,"' which. in turn. was born
of the Greek word "korka," signifying "in-
