little confidence in themselves and
their ability, some good judgment
and lots of fight and they would be
on the long end OK the score.
With pep all ready running high
about both schools, but especially in
the red and white institution three
big celebrations are scheduled to
bring the fever of battle to its high
est pitch A huge bonfire singing
and cheering is on the programme
for tonight on the eve of the battle
on King field. This morning a huge
pep" meeting was held at the high
school and at 1:30 Saturday after
noon the parade band and all tuned
up to the song of Pep" filled with
the BEAT La Sale" spirit, will wend
their way through the loop to let
every one know about the big battle
who happens to be asleep.
All ye old grads, Rotarians and
students of the school will be on the
sidelines just like in the days of
old to cheer the Red and White into
victory. Although the day is Satur-
day it will not be an unusual thing
for a good many bosses to slip away
for the big fracas. A record crowd
is expected as La Sale reports show
1000 people will be on deck to root
for the olive and green but there Will
be at least double that to root for
the home guard.
The customary Fellows line of
propaganda is being spread on the
eve of the battle and according to
the clever La Sale coach and his crew
one would think that all the La
Sale team were taken to the hos
pital after each game but the know
ing ones are too wise for the old
line so Ottawa is looking for La Sale
at its very best and they will get
what they're looking for The regu-
lar team will be out there just as
sure the whistle will blow They
will be cocky and overconfident and
if they are it will mean their doom
for very few now-their-good- teams
win football games.
With a record crowd and all the
ottawa fans full of hope, hope that
will last to the end, the game prom
ises to be one of the best ever staged
on Kng field No wild predictions
are being made but if Ottawa fights
and plays like it can fight and play
the outcome will be an Ottawa vic
tory.

tomary volume this year and mos
