High W. Cony Today

The High school and Cony game win
be played at the Libby field, starting
At $50 Saturday afternoon. This
should be a real football game as the
members Of both teams will be out to
take away the sting Of that 0 to game
Of last week at Augusta. There seems
little chance that the field will be any
thing like good condition, the heavy
rain Of Friday morning making it
more or less Of bog hole, but at that
the boys expect that it will be better
to play on than was the field at Angus
t. The local team has been putting
IN q busy week and will 20 into the
game in good condition and prepared
TO make the fight Of its life. Couy is
The lirst team that they have met that

want to be returned the winner this
time. A large crowd Is looked forward
to AZ the rivalry between the two
schools 10 quite strong and this is the
frst chance for local supporters to see
the High school team in action this

will meet on Alumni field at 3 o'clock

and the game will afford the dopsters
a good chance to get line on the rel
