their efforts were in vain.

and White of Swavely triumphed 24- I6. Swavely ran its string of con- secutive victories to eight by this
,win. The game was hotly contested 'throughout and the playing was rough and fast, not being as closely refereed as it might have been. The
first quarter was the only slow time
of the game. In the second quarter ;swavely put qn a sprint to gain a six point lead. r:J;'here was little to choose
between the teams in the last half.
