valuable assistnce of Captain Ben
Chatellier, Coach Mire and the local
fans and supporters. they've drawn
up rather tentative program
tentative only in that it's conserva-
tive of series of games, cross coun-
try trips and dances.
They kicked off with fireworks,
Thursday night, by clashing with the
fast St. Paul College team of Gov
ington, and receiving one grand
white washing to the tune Of 40 to 6.
