Young man, III give .uu the

BE ceased. he gsspad, he stood n
amaze. Say said he, "aint you 2
cirl?"
And so she vas. She was a girl,
incredible as II may seem. for all
around her for leagues and leagues
were nothing but boys and police
men and noise and time-worn eggs,
and vegetables in d STATE Of marked
d~lIapidstion.
That is just a part Of what hap
pened when the students Of Balti-
more Polytechnic institute and CITY

have been doins it for 40 years, and
the whole police department. shant
stop us this time.
Perfectly true. City and Poly
have played q game every year ~,
10 years. and when you maui each
other once a year fer 80 years you
sro bound to ret to the place where
your interest amounts TO pusH-istie
cndeavor.
The results Of I'll this aren't yet

met tho fun began. Clara stood up
and yelled. Come on. City,"

Clara. despite the fact that her faith
