penses be paid by the athletic asso-
citation of our school. Our High
School ,eicgraphed to Upton passage
for SIX men which tosaled three dol
lars and thirty cents. After arriving
at Versailles the visiting team was
taken to dinner at the White Raj at
an expense ot $3.50. In due time
the visiting team came to our ground
