scoreless tie in an intersquad game
played on the Viking gridlron
Wednesday night.
Both teams exhibited a lot of
fighting spirit and were particularly
outstanding on tackling and pass de-

Don Woolridge, Meyahara, Gas

stood out in line play.
Both teams tried several passes
but the alert pass defense on the
part Of both squads frustrated any
scores. The Reds made the better
showing of the two squads, threat
ening to score on two separate oc-
casions. The Reds had the ball on

game ended.

again brought the audience TO its
feet.
The cheers that reverberated
through the stands of the arena

functory hurrahs that are heard
al wrestling or boxing matches. but
the yelling Of an excited crowd
apnlauding the great exhibition put
on by the amateurs.
The management promised, be-
fore the fights, that every bout
would be run off right Oh time
No waiting. no stalling around, and
they carried out that promise. In
