OLD GRADS WILL PLAY
HIGH SCHOOL TODAY


"For sweet charity's sake" plead,
the press agent for the football game
to be played this afternoon on the 10
cal field for the benefit of the Deminl
Public Library fund. The game j,
to be II real i,ighbrow affair between
the old "grads" of the city and thu
high school team. No one without u
college degree will be allowed to pla,
on the city team, although creden-
tails have not been closely scanned
by the managers and il is feared that
some modern Hercules with slightly
receding foreheads, but bulging BIZ
ceps have made the team.
HAS BEENS' ARE SNORTlNG
The city team is what might BE-
termed "has beens," behind their
backs, though they boast of many
gridiron battles. Some of them Sc.
cretly admit that they suffer from
ringbone, spavine. pip, foot-and-
mouth disease or other weaknesses
induced by struggles Of long ago on
the barred fields. Some of them are
fat from bending long hours over
desks. some are lean from hoeing
corn, but all are eager for the fray.
OF course It will BE- necessary to dig
II common grave after the battle. but
just now there is much paving Of
the earth. The betting at the pres
ent time shows that the fans do not
believe the old boys will last much
over three minutes. OF course. plen-
ty of substitutes have been taken
ON III the hope that the game can be
played to he whistle.
LOW brow PRESS AGENT
For the love of Mike" continues
the low-brow press agent in seduc-
tive tone. "buy ticket and see the
greatest massacre since Geronimo
raided this section. Buckets of gore
will flow and limbs will he torn from
limbs tit could happen)." All this
slaughter for books for the city H.
brary. Surely the gods on Mount
Pernassus will smile at this unset
fish devotion. cart for arts sake"
as you might say.

"A royal bull fight will be a tame
affair beside this exciting sport. |
when spawned old grads get in the

More exciting than the seige Of Pret-

berg"
