the big game with the Indians on Sat

defeated to 33 by the sophomore team
last night. The game was one-sided,

stayed out on account of the coming
football game and his place was taken
by Crook.

at center on the junior team. Benner,

responsible for four of the six points
chalked up by the juniors.
