THAT'S ALL.

Ottawa High School did NOT hahd
out its yesterdays combat with La
Sale on the silver platers
No indeed, me boy, ii did not. The
serving was done by eleven young
sters under head waiter Fellows.
So completely outclassed was the OPP
position in the early stages OF the pat
tie Coach Bggs brought home a bunch
of conouering heroes. instead Of hang
logged crowd of disappointed grid
iron performers. The exhibition was
a clear demonstration that the sewing
class for scrappers is still an unneces-
sity.
When smoke of the battle, which
was fought yesterday afternoon on
La Sales own no mans land. was
cleared away the count stood thusly:
Ottawa 81; La Sale 70.
And therehangs tale.
In the first half of the clash Wood
ward Ottawas speedy fullback, went
thru La Sale lines like Canadian
going lover the top" for bunch OF
Boches. He did 1t deftly and with
dispatch. BY the time the curtain was
rung down on the two initial quarters
Ottawa had its foe so deep in the
trenches there was no possibility OF
their getting out This is said adj
visedly as the alibi stuff may throw a
different color upon the result what
might have been"
At the end OF the first period
Coach Fellows took his leaders In
the first line of defense back to the
second trenches where he told them
some things that were not at all pleas
ing for the lads to hear Anyway they
came back after that and gave OF
tawa fairly good chase for its money.
In the closing periods they emassed
two more touchdowns thru the good
and kindly intervention OF fortune
and fate. But just about the time
they were pulling all their wires for
that proverbial, La Sale luck to con
tinue Its shine. the time keepers an

the allied forces Of the Red and white
had settled the fray without demand
ing indemnities other than one more
chance to do it again. From the view
point OF the Free er-Journals ex
pert the conflict OF yesterday Is thu
first in recent years that o. Fl. S. en-
tered a scrimmage with La Sale
honors even on the Jinx business

which had been builded upon the fals'
hope that the 90 H. s. would be easy
Was it not admitted by an Ottaw;

too horrible for human contemplation
