Last evening was splendid one at
the Y. NJ. G. A. The events, as sched-
uled, we're carried out in full. The
first event was the volley ball game
between the business men and the
young men.
For some reason the young men
we're entirely too slow for the older
folks, either too stiff or stage struck,
one can hardly tell which. The busi-
ness men won all three games, or a
total of SO points while the young men
we're able to secure but 81 points all
told.
There will be more Of these con-
tests, judging from the determinedly
set faces of the young men, at the con-
cluslon Of the contest.
