To Sails 32-to-12

victims to the powerful Sails Wild
cats last Thursday night at Bennett
Field by a score of 1912, in the semi
finals of the Big Black Conference.
The Wildcats who had beaten the
Tigers in a previous game this year
1912, put on plenty of steam and
hammered out a clear cut victory
over the local boys. The Tigers were
just lacking in the stuff it took to
beat the Wildcats and were out
played the entire game.
The Tigers shouldn't feel too bad
about the defeat as they lost to
champions. Last night the same
Wildcats went all the way to the
championship of the Big Black Con-
ference by defeating Sturgis High
School 39-to-0.
