IN. Every Man . Star
They were all stars in the encoun-
ter. Every man, on both sides,
worked hard and played fast. Wutzke
and McGettigan, as forwards for
Rismarck, displayed good teamwork
and both did more than their share
in making the score 30 close. Henry
brown, authenticated center, was
one of the main cogs in the Demon
plays and proved himself more
