BIZ L z

The boys who went 10 San Anton
10 to the football game with Brack-
enridge tell us they had a wonder
full time. They stayed at the Y. NJ
c. A. all morning and played ping
pong. checkers, etc, because II was
raining there as ii did here Tuesday
Coach Irvine said the Eagles play
cd a good game, although they were
defeated. After the game Coach
Irvine took the boys to dinner and
then to a show. II certainly must
have been a great show, judging
from the way the boys have been
talking about 1t.
After the show they went to the
train. When they were about TO
leave, Coach Irvine missed several
of the boys. Immediately a search
was started, and finally after a
search Of all the hotels. shows, etc,
he found them. Allison Taggart,
John Joe Cara, Walter williams,
ard Ed Ems were walking down the
middle Of the street eating popcorn
and peanuts. But Avis Bolton was
still missing. so they continued the
search. They found him soon. He
was following a popcorn merchant
vainly trying TO learn to whistle
as he did. He soon gave I'D though
for Ben Brite rushed him off to the
train.
In assembly Wednesday MI. Dodd
told US that he had, as he called
them. two very "extinguished" gen.
tlemen to speak to us. After he
made the necessary announcements
and a few remarks about the game.
he told us about their trip. He said
that he couldn't sleep very well on
the way up because the train made
such a noise, but on the way back
he declared he slept very soundly
through all the noise. confusion. and
other forms of disturbance that the
boys seemed to think was necessary,
and from the way some Of the boys
locked Wednesday, 1t was evident
that they didn't sleep so soundly.
