such. the high school lads got away
with the lcAg end OF a 20 to 9 score.
1t was awful coffee from the kick
off till time was called and while the
high school, under existing circum-
stances. deserved to win, it must be
ohronicled that the ~Old Timers" play
ed with only nine men, four of whom
were picked up after their arrival at
the show grounds. The feature Of the
game was the good fellowship display
ed by the players despite the fact that
they were buffeted numerically BY
their oponents. Without a line and with
practically no signals the backfield of
the veterans could gain but little and
never was the goal of the high school
in danger.

~The principal industry there is rice
growing" said Mr.. Carlson. There

however, is rice growing. The rice
