by members of the band, where

nelsville for the coming year, the
Big Reds having firm grip on the
cup with two wins compared to
none for Caldwell. The series on
the new trophy was begun in 1912
with three tie games also recorded.
THIS WAS the eleventh annual

the players and fans. Wind, rain,
sun, mud, and cold all combined to

with their swing routine, which al
ways goes over big with the spec
tatorS, and then retired to their
perch on the west side of the field
with only one casualty-a lost over
shoe.
WHEN THE RAIN started in the
last quarter, a myriad of umbrellas
appeared on the east side of the
field, adding lot of color to the
game. However, very few spectators
left before the final play, remem-
bering many past games which
were tied up in the closing minutes.
DANA REED, Redskin captain, was
easily the outstanding defensive
player of the game, spilling the op-
position for losses on several plays.
II didn't take the Big Reds long to
find out that he was on the end, so
they concentrated on the light sec
ton of the line. In fact, they took
up where Roseville left off last
week. punching the center of the
line for short gains to gain the win
