Allen gave an account Of the trip
and the athletic contests that was
punctuated by rounds Of applause.
He said the physical victory was
great, but the greatest victory won
by the boys was in their gentle
manly conduct, which was the
subject Of comment on all sides,
and that during the entire trip he
never had to correct any Of the
boys. He praised the hospitality

thanks Of the school TO the mer.
