XToU'VE heard OF a test case in
i the courts. Wei here's one In
football 70 be contested on a local
gridiron.
Defiance A. A. and Chesrook
win come 20 grips at Harlan
Field on Saturday afternoon.
Il will be a double test in a way.
Football fans and followers OF Will
mington who have been claiming
that Chesrook is ''going-back" viii
have an opportunity OF seeing how
the aggregation which has held
the championship since some OF the
present day players were In short
trousers. compares In its supposedly
weakened condition with the talent
which has been clamoring for
crack at the title. Yes. there are
more than a few who have been say

fly. retaining a combination which
has been working together for three
years. viii be given the most severe
trial OF It's career when II stacks up
against the champs. Treated to an
upset a couple OF weeks back when
Parkside forced them 70 take the
short end OF the score, the purple
coated Bulldogs would give the dope
terrible jar should they succeed
In trimming Chesrook. There would
be no denying their claim to the
State honors and they could sit back
and invite all comers.

step out and actually challenge Ches-
rook 70 come out and fght." The
champs have been enthroned In the
titleship for so long and 20 strongly
that none OF the eleven would at
tempt TO dislodge them. although
some have made loud talk Of doing
so. Another reason FOR handing It
TO Defiance Is their schedule. II

fans than any other team. They
