you know why Armstrong beat
me, don't you?" continued Mr.. Ross
Sure" said your correspondent
"Because-"
mo. no, you got it all wrong
said Barnabus hastily. Il guess you
didn't see the fight. 1t was because
I was an old man."

look like spring chicken, and the
record book claims you are 29"
That's very flattering," said Mr.
Ross, 'and it's perfectly true, as well
but back last year, when I fought
Armstrong, was an old man. You
know how it is. An old fighter can

fought Armstrong I was battered,
bruised, tired. fatigued, weary, de-
spondent, senile and lousy. So he
beat me.
But here's the tip-off. From
about the third round on, right
through the fifteenth, this mur-
derous puncher hit me, an old man,
with every punch in his book, some
times right on the chin, and he
never even brought me down, let
alone knocked me out. He's not a
strong puncher at all. And if he

an 1873 victory over the Garfield
Bulldogs in the Annual Charity
Game, and the 1889 Seattle High
School Football Championship.
Art Harris, Freshman back play
ing the entire game for the Bull
dogs, made it known to the fans
that for the next three years he's
going to be a threat to all prep
elevens in the city.
Carrying the ball but a few
times, Arts offensive work was
very impressive as was his defen-
sive play.
Quentin Sonny Booker did not
get into the game as many had
hoped.
Booker also returns for the next
three years to render his valuable
services to the making of another
great Garfield team.
