that full cash valuation would be

money to pay up old debts that
they had not dreamed cfpaying by

to suggest to the Boise champions
that if they want a game that may
rob them cf their laurels they can
probably get it from the Richfield
enthusiasts. If the Capitol City is
agile to beat Richfield ina series
