Black and Gold in what promises to be one of the greatest games pulled off in the new stadium in many a day Always when the Tiger and the Com modora meet the fur Is sure to fly And this year be an exception Th Tiger is almost ready ha will be next and supported by his cohorts from the mountain and cheered by his thousands of supporters from far and near the Tiger will descend upon Yandy determined to do or die The Purple followers believe that the team which has bsea a coming one ail season has almost reached the home plate and barring accidents and faculty rulings will ha at the
