To the Gardiner coIieoians

It often happens that the young fry
gracing the home town with their

slider themselves quite far advanced
over the stay at homes, particularly

enough of those present willing to
dispute the championship of the city

can issue an open challenge to any
college five in the city to meet US at
the high school gym any evening this
week.
