1t is coincidence that the two teams
which are booked to meet next Saturday
in the game that attracts more atten-
ton than any other played between
the MARYLAND state schools-St Johns
and the Maryland Agricultural College

their games, which it is needless to say
is erroneous. ~,

Western looked better than at any time
this year against the kendall Greeners
