is noted.
The Weston team on sizing up the
Tigers, sarcastically remarked that it
was only a matter of how large score
they would make, but they had not
reckoned with their host.
The Tigers were the first to appear
on the field and after ten minutes Of
signal practice they rested on their
oars, while the Westonites, who had
now arrived, devoted like amount Of
