A. In the main attraction Of the day
by a 21-19 tally. Jimmy Armstrong;
band was sadly handicapped by the
absence of Phair and Meade. Phair
has been on the sick list for several
days, but why Meade did not play Is
not known.
Jimmy Armstrong led his crew In
great style, making the major part
Of the attack by dropping four field
goals through the net and three
goals from the foul line. Ernest
Cathcart worked In admirable
fashion too, holding Taylor scoreless
while he Gagged the sphere once.
Smith showed class at the pivot
after Keegan had been taken out be-
III OF a injury.
The game was exciting throughout
as the score had been a tie at 8, II,
