Warren admirers OF the good feeling
which prevailed among tho Y. M. q. A.
boys toward the Warren at the game on
Thanksgiving Day. despite the talk Of the
rivalry existing between them. Seldom is
such good feeling noticeable. The Y. NJ.
q. A. boys attended the game In body
and made the welkin ring with their
shouts for the victorious Warren team,
which was much appreciated by Captain
McDannell, who congratulated them i'm.
medintely after the game.
After hearty handshake the Y. NJ. @. A.
boys proceeded to car which was in
waiting Tor them to convey tbem to their
headquarters. The last the writer saw of
Them was as the car proceeded up Union
street amid glorious shouts for Y. Mo. A.,
Warren and Pennsylvania. They were
truly jolly crowd. Long may such good
FEELING exist. A WARREN "RooTRn,"
