''blue", even the college mules

gomery called the students to chapel
where they listened to about sixteen

first speakers were the football men
whose deeds spoke so loud that no
one of them needed to open his

accorded a ripping ovation before and
after his speech.

a tribute to the scrubs whose work in
daily practice made a good team pos

glory.
Capt Brown said: tx U has been
offered a holiday for two years if they
would win from us. Today we have
the holiday, while they are learning
their A, B C's."
