High School eleyens battled for the
first game of the season Saturday

ponents nothing.
/ It was good game from start to
finish, despite the arguments that took
place and the bad weather, and al
though the score would give one the
impression that the Puns had every
their their own way, this was not the
fact. as they found that they were up

stage Of the game. In the first quar-

times they nearly scored. but were I'M

lone point. The Pun.s line was fast
and on the defense stood like q ton

The Highs put up the best game
that they have played for many sea-
son. Melin, Cassidy and Brash were
easily the stars. and their tackling and
the manner in which they cofefed

standard. The line seemed to be the
Highs weak spot, as time after time
the Pun's sent their men through 1t

gain. With q little improvement in
the line, the Highs will prove q still
stronger opponent In their next game.
