one for the spectators but slightly
warm for the players. Both teams
were in fine condition and showed the
result of conscientious training. The
Branham & Hughes boys outweighed
their opponents, but they made up
their lack of weight by their quick
ness, vet the other boys were far from
being slow. Both teams played foot
ball from start to finish there was no
letting up at any time and they fought
for every inch.
