Raiders Go Down
Fighting Friday

In clean-cut, rough and tum-
BILE game Friday night at the
London Athletic Field, the Alumni
team defeated the London High
Red Raiders by a score of 81 to
0, in the opening game of the
1854 season.
The Raiders looked good" was
the concensuS of sideline opinion
after the fans watched the varsity
hold the skilled and seasoned
Alumni score only seven points in
the half. The score came as the
result of surprise screen play
which caught the Raiders flat
footed. Nevertheless, the varsity
was accorded much respect for a
fine game against team made
up of seven college men as we'll
as other former stars.
The reserve team played the
second half and held the Alumni
to but three touchdowns.
London will remain in the Class
"B" was said to have come due
to the fact that London will be
able to play in the B" tourna-
raent rather than be forced to
face stiffer opposition in Class
"A" play this winter.
