Germantown High Wins
Germantown High added another vic
tory to its long list yesterday when it
walloped the George School team by the
score Of 3 to .. The Germantown ag-
grcgation had little difficulty in win
ming the game and played in their usual
! fine form. However, two errors were
charged against them.
The Clivcdrns easily look to be the
best team that has performed in the
scholastic circles for some time. They
have outClassed the rest of the field by
wide margin and have yet to feel the
sting Of defeat.
