his remark about the boys being
"up."
IF Hammond had won, it
might have been something
else, but we want another crack
at Falls Church," Robinson
added.
Falls Church inflicted the
only defeat on Wakefield in

Since then Wakefield has won

It was the third time this

WI. But it was a struggle
for the first half last night.
Both teams played cautiously
and, as a result. neither was
taking many shots. WI held
an 1l-8 first-quarter lead and
1925 at halftime. The score
was tied three times in the third
