Evening Football Scrimmage Between Seniors and Freshmen
An enthusiastic crowd watched two games with the seniors facing the freshmen and the sophomores up against the preps. The first game ended 80 to 17 in favor of the seniors, with key players Ringland Graham Remp Mesée and Parsley scoring. The prep teams showed hustle and shouting support as the band energized the scene. Officials were the same as in the earlier game and preparations for future varsity vs Co D matchups continued amid talks of a bitter fight over future dates. The piece mentions Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption with a testimonial.
