The annual gridiron struggle between
Yale and Harvard never aroused any
more genuine enthusiasm than did the
battle to-day between Morris High
School and tho High School OF
Commerce. The games played by
tho big college elevens may at

boys and girls that crowded the lower
grandstand at tho Brush stadium this
afternoon made more noise than the
Same number OF deep lunged collegians
ever did.
In the crowd were mothers and
fathers. Some Of them never knew
what a gridiron looked like and they
are still ignorant as to what football
really means. but they soon became
imbued with the spirit Of the occa-

school slogans and songs.
