to see a travesty on the national
game between the Doctors and the
bankers were keenly disappointec by
the two teams putting up an extra
ordinarily good game. There was a
big crowd out to the game, and ev-
erybody was prepared to have a whole
lot of fun in watching the misplaYs
and the accompaniment OF stage
