The game of ball last week, which wa
the last of the season, was not as exciting
as we had hoped it would be, the scor'
being 16 to in favor of our boys. The,
have done some good playing this year
and we feel very proud of them. Tn
West Ends brought down mascot, whicl
was tiny white rabbit, with several dill
ferent shades of ribbon attached to II
we suppose for luck, and If they had LEI
off the green ribbon, which seemed mos
prominent, they might have had bette
luck, besides the bunny wasn't bi
enough. After the game the Rockville
gave dance In A. 0. U. W. hail.
