The visitors were sadly crippled by the
loss OF Ave of thedr regulars including
Capt Dick Diamond. and their fumbling
proved costly.
In spite OF the continued rain. the
field was in good condition. although
there were many falls because of uncer-
tain footing In all probability It was
the last game OF football for University

meet with the hopef for success to-day,
but their failure and also their lack Of
