spectacular events or the evening, and

another Islander, and two more points

Their Sad Sad Plight.
Evidently the Monmouth coach,
Smith by name, believes in the Old old
saying which has been too often anus
ed, that a poor excuse is better than ,
none" for just as the game was about
10 begin, the Wizard of the Monmouth
i've stepped TO the middle OF the gym :
ioor and in q few terse words, spoken
n a voice which was pitched low and
told of the plight of the T
Maple City regular five. From sick 4
less and other causes, the downstat-
RS had to be represented by five green +
men, in fact" SAID Mr.. Smith, I'VE
ave our entire second team with us I
onight We have no apology to offer. Il
nut merely wish 10 say that this is the y
econd team representing the Mon
iouth nigh school who will, neverthe- =,
ess endeavor to win, playing the best
ley can" Mr. Smith we sympathize -
nth you, but we've heard that stuff =,
efore. ~
