Our playing has been all against older and mucl heavier men and we may have de veloped a rough brand of play as a consequence,” said members of the team. They were n.ot making any predictions on the series at Wran gell but hop>ed to make It interest ing, at least, for the mid-year chain plons, if not defeat them. Both Supt. Evans and the team are anxious to stop off here on theii return trip homeward and meet thi local High School five and the Doug las team. Evans said he had seer Supt.
