some confusion in accounts, and after
working over the matter for some time

The members of the Associc ton
football team that played the St. Mat
thews team, in Worcester Thanks
giving. say they are not guilty of all
the roughness they got credit for, as
1t was simply a case of give and take;
and from the appearance Of the men
who were in the game il is easily seen
that the St Matthew's boys did their
share Of the rough work. Many of the
players have lame legs and shoulders.
while goalkeeper Pluff has a handsome
blackeye as a souvenir Of the game.
The village boys are as confident as
ever that they san trim the St. Mat
thews team at clean, good football
