The base ball played by the Bankers
in their first game with Interior in the
post-season series was of far different
character from that shown in the re-

been made on that. even since the close
of the SERIES and there is only one an
swcr that can be given. The Bankers had
four games the same week they played
Interior and all took place previously 10
the Interior game. Three of those con
tests were with the Cornell CompauS.
and the players were keyed up 10 a point
for those. After they were decided there
was a natural relaxation of the tension.
