likely that Cairo also will become

The local high school team this af.

Cairo better, or Paducah for that
matter, than to defeat the opposing

Paducah has a fast, heavy team and
along with this, experience which
the Cairo team is lacking. Notwith-
standing the fact, however, that Pa
ducah is heavier and more experien-
ced than the local boys, the Cairo
team will make up in grit what, they
lack in experience and weight, and
will fight Paducah harder than any
team previously played.
Although the campus was very
muddy, and in some places "pondy,"
the local team practiced signals
faithfully last evening determined
to beat Paducah no matter how much
mud and water they had to wade.
The Paducah team will arrive this
morning at 11:15 O'Clock with & q

probably. return home this evening.
