thousand, mostly supporters OF either
Of the teams. assembled for the contest.
A delegation OF about two hundred
Georgetown undergraduates made the
trip up from Washington TO cheer their
favorltes. They esta bhshed a cheering
section in the east stand and supported
their team royalty In the second half,
when victory seemed assured, the Wis
itors sang TO their hearts content ana

out to watch the returns Of the Penn
