Class Games.


The class games were held last Fri
day IS usual and two very exciting
games were played. The seniors won
a very close game from the freshmen
by the score of 1910. The score at
the end of the first half was a tie and
it looked very doubtful as to which
team would win. The seniors took
the lead at the beginning of the last
half and kept ahead for the rest of the
game.
The second game was between the
sophomores and juniors. This game,
too, was very close. The first hair
ended in the score of 1910 in favor of
the juniors. The sophomores came
back strong in the second half and
won by the score of 81 to IA.
All the teams appeared for the first
time in their new class uniforms. These
uniforms are very attractive and help
to eliminate much of the confusion at
tending the games by helping the ref
cree and the spectators to distinguish
the different teams.
