Wilson Says Greys
Charles Mike" Wilson. last season cap
tain of the Greys and this year working

| will win, when asked his opinion. II was
| pointed olt to Mike that number Of
persons who even favored the Greys had
| an idea that Jasper would pull through.
| "If you observed" added Mike, ut was
just a repetition of all our games at Non
| pareil Hall. and ] realized this as soon as
| Jasper secured that two-point lead In all
our battles uptown this season Jasper has
run UP big lead on us at the start. and
| we have always cut 1t down, but just lose
| out by a point or so. I got into three
games at Nonpareil Hall. One time they
had an eleven-point lead on US. and another
thirteen, and we were just beaten out b!
a point both times. We outplayed jasper
thirty of the forty minutes and things can
not always go on this way The Grey'
will win tonight, and Wednesday, take l
