the culture and the endurance Of

The score was 40-40 after 40 hec-

enough and got but six. Clark won
the ball game by a score of 50-46

Finkie Haines had almost half of

had II in the first half, z in the
second half and 2 in the extra per-
iod.

Xavier has been the choice at

in 1897 1888, 1899 and 1910. She
came through in '38 and '39 but
stalled before Clark in 1887

to handle Xavier.
