of football was played here on thanks
giving day. last week, between the Lew

grounds of the Lee Military Academy.
The Anderson boys were clearly over
matched and lost the game by ascore OF
SIS to O. The weather was not very IA
yorable, but, nevertheless, a large crowd
turned out to witness the sport. The

were lacking in size and weight, and
were therefore at great disadvantage
We hone to see another game soon with
the teams more evenly matched.
