1t was the first time this season the
Indian teams supporters had such a
chance afforded them to let loose their
enthusiasm without calling into use
any safety valves. Cheers, following

etc, the annual big game each season
was with st. Thomas College eleven.
Former clevens We're content to lose
every game but the big contest with
ST. Thomas College boys. TO win frCn
them was the highest aim of their am
bition. With the Indian eleven the
same ambition has lived. A decisive
victory was what they wanted: a VIC
tory so great that no question of it
being an earned one would be brought
up. Such a victory was the one of Sat
urday. 10 be sure. Scranton boys
lacked several of their best players and
were forced to play subs but the
latter played a great game; in fact. as
good a game as any regular man on
the eleven.

the most accessible. were literally pat
ronized by men of agility. The oppos-
ing elevens were taken to the field in
