lost one of their best men, and al
though a game fight was fought to
the last the odds were too heavy and
they succumbed to their vigorous op-
ponents by score of 10 to 10. The
game between the Panthers and Cubs
was no less exciting and close, both
teams putting forth their hardest eff
forts to win, and i'll a game that was
not won until the last few minutes of
play, the Panthers won by the close
score of 10 to 5. The athletic event
was a feat of strength called chin
ming the bar" and was won by Fred
Norris, who pulled up sixteen times
I. c. Steele was second with fourteen
pull-ups and Earl Maughmer third
with thirteen to his credit One of
the features of the evenings enter
tainment was the fencing bout be-
tween Messrs. o. c. Kulicka and
