The high school foot ball team treated
themselves and their friends to the luxury
of victory over the Saginaw east side team
Saturday in a stubb0rnly contested game.
The score was 9 to O, OwOssO winning her
first, and the only touchdown of the game,
within a few minutes from the start when
Matthew'S, the right half-back. made fifty

best team work the score would have been
much greater than 1t was.
