unceasing energy and at all times had

their time and none yto make this
team a success and have worked hard
in order TO bring the honor that they
have won and deserved. Mr.. McRob-
eris arranged one Of the bes, sched-
ules that he could possibly do and
had many Of the highest ranking
elevens TO play here. while Tiny"
worked faithfully and hard to get and
keep his lads in shape for the sea
