Game Next Year? Probably.
The work of Dinsmore, Baker, Trsse
Dickinson, Gray, Cleaves and Others
will never be forgotten by any Prince

through this test. Roper sent no
stars into action, but he sent lot q
first class football players who had

cent of everything they had. And thb
combination was quite sufficient agsins.
