with the passing of the time.
From the spectators standpoint,

Of football exhibitions they care to
see as everything was decidedly too

Thompson be able to secure the fast
Shelby Blues, team which is out for
the state championship and is also
cutting quite figure on the gridiron

that the local management can get

game of the season will be pulled Off
Although Sundays game was run
