High school has had in a number OF
years. The interclass league season
will come to close on Friday, the
day before this classic.
The interclass league games sched-
uled for yesterday afternoon was post
poned until tomorrow afternoon. The
Junior and freshmen class teams win
battle to decide which will tie the
senior class team for leadership in
the league The seniors are sure OF
tie in the league race by virtue of
their victory over the freshmen mid
year team last Monday. The fresh
men fnid-years have only won one
game this season and in order to pre-
vent a tie for last place they must
win over the senior mid-year team,
the only team in the league that
hasn't won a game this season. To
say that there would be action in both
games would be expressing it in flow
cry terms.
