engineers on Thursday at 1870 p. m,
the members of Company E and their
team became somewhat nervous, and
arranged a game with the Medicos,
and of course expected to win, but

needs to plan any victory by antiei-s
patton. And so the Hospital repre-

the wreath of spinach on their own
crania, and won the victory to the.
