parting the knowledge that South
BEND didn't do very we'll yesterday
afternoon That Is one way 90 explain
the loss OF the game. That one
stands out above the others. but an
other good reason would be that Peg

cluster of horseshOes. The score was
70 l.

yesterday. for that was about all he
did have. All he did was 20 throw

as though the rain would come in
time 10 save the Hoosiers from sad de-
feat, but IL was not to be so.

the swastika sign on him in the first
round. IL was the whole Flint team
