/ get the ribbon Ia inches their way. In
tho first ten minutes HiEginbothdm' s
I team had the best of Il, but then the IIar-
/ rison men came up and worked the COW
| etcd ribbon back 20 the starting point, and
/ at Il minutes had an inch to spare. Hig-
/ ginbotham's men rallied however and
/ during the last five minutes OF the pun IL
was an exciting struggle. with the advan-
/ tage slightly with HisgInbotham's team.
