tied the score at least S The East High Leopards fought and fought with every and ounce of strength In their system They have not b been n beaten this year jear and last year were not defeated The West Vest High was not considered a formidable foe until a week ago and arid a defeat yesterday would I have been a crushing blow to the pride of the proud It was this I continually fight and refusal to give an inch of ground unless beaten back by pure strength and force that won for forthe forthe forthe the Leopards It was this that probably pave gave them the breaks and saw an East High player falling on a fumbled ball ballat ballat ballat at a time that would have cost dearly had a Panther tucked it snuggly in his arms HARD TO FIND STARS It seems almost cruel to attempt to pick a star or stars in the game pla played ed Saturday When the game ended players on both teams fell exhausted upon the ground They had bad played out ever every bit bitof bitof of strength In their systems But

were for offside playing something that Is bound to occur when a team is at ata ata ata a tense strain and these penalties proved more than costly to the Panthers A penalty for offside playing cheated
