cry of II told you so" Is being heard
on every hand-and all of this because

den-Sidney Tigers use the Spiders for
paving material were treated to rs
complete n surprise as they ever had
in their lives.

lineup. putting up the greatest eXhi-
billion Of continuous fight imaginable.

OF form displayed here last Saturday,

demonstrating the superiority of the
Richmond College machine. Hampden-

ing plenty of fight and varied assert
ment OF plays, went down to decisive

Free From Had Feclinga.

forward passes. long and short were
tried with success by each side than
