was supposed to be his weakest.
AS a schoolboy star Berry showed an n.

fault, but on Saturday he played perfectly

Miller made a fairly large percentage o.

Franklin Field in a long time. and was
thoroughly appreciated by the large crowd.

two teams penalized so much for slight
infractions of the rules, when these offenses
in no way affect the play.
