 Annual Thanksgiving tilt draw, much speculation in the local high schools:
 At Crosby high school a certain Crosby senior will be very easy and let you take your pick of either Crosby or Wilby in the Turkey Day" tilt. Of course, this game as usual promises to be very hot contest, he states, so seeing that l am letting you have your pick l think that you should, just to hold up your end, spot me seven points. And believe 1t or not, but great many Crosbyites let their school spirit outdo their better judgment and took the bet. Well, in my es- timation, this game promises to be the hottest yet, and which way 1t goes no one can tell. But just to be different and to crack the ice, I will pick Crosby by Q score of l4 to 2.
