Although II is customary TO let the as

the local exponents of the leather egg
have decided to stay In the lImellght for
several more days. Arrangements have
already been made for several post-sea-
son duels that win be pulled off, either
next Sunday or the following Sunday. In
approximately two weeks they will be
ready for the curtain and then the husky
moleskin gents can store their foot ball
rags In the attic and join the stove

this season they have failed to run
across any new geesers that have shot
into the clouds OF popularity as the same
old ginks that have been occupying pede-
stalls in the corridors Of the hall of foot
ball fame for the last five years. have
shown that they are still eligible 10 hold

The only real surprise this season and
one that should so down In the channels

expected and without doubt II was the
most prominent feature Of this season.
