Oxford Stars AVi" Over Wake Forest
Team In Fast Game 27 to 17-
The local team began its season
with a clean victory over the College
Team from Wake Forest last Friday

In no time during the game was

Games will be scheduled with good
teams all of the season and the pub
lic may expect first class contests.
