bottom Of the score, every man on the
team learned a lot of volley ball. which

as the tournament style of play is
concerned and the bad losses of the
afternoon can be attributed to this
| fact, plus stage fright. In the night
game they had found their bearings
better, and gave Jacksonville thrill
ing battle.
