Dr. Williams and Dr. Cobey qualified
in the Palace tournament, but DR.. Kicker
failed 10 do so. DT. Kicker has not gone
into the game as much as he did last

to see some of the teams from other cities
pitted against the teams of Washington
Why don't the enterprsiag captains of
some OF the teams arrange = few
matches2
