 Finally a hurry call was sent out and the cash was ob btained and placed in the hands of the Co1legian man agement whereupon the visitors went out upon the field. There were about 1000 in attendance, but the Walnuts and Crashoes which cams played in antee of s125 and this amount of money took about all the profit out of the game for the Chains.
