AS the sun peerod mistliy through
the early morning haze Of what turned
out to be a perfect Indian summer day
the early and Industrious hawkers of
toy balloons, miniature footballs, all
woodland nd-a-yard-wi pennants, me-

and other fauna fora touchin' on and
appertainin' to an oid-fashioned foot
ball convention in any part of New

where prizes were standardized, choice
sites distributed and other matters Of

western ridge of the stadium could see
the long line of autos concentrating on
the football field from the four quar-
ters of the compass. Over the bridge
thronged the hordes who journeyed out
by tram. They sifted slowly and
steadily into the immense enclosure,

warm-up the Nassau team disappeare

east stands. mo, no, it's the Harvar

team came the Jungletown bras

tie was at its height. After playing
few defiant airs added and abetted b,
