We’re going to have to squeeze the Orange mighty hard to get any juice! We did a pretty good job of squeezing last year but you can’t always live on last year’s record. The record favors us, in fact it’s been since 1937 that the Orangemen last came out on top against us and to make things worse all that the Hig’s boys have given to the boys from Seerakuse is big goose eggs for the last four years. How about it Draz and Punchy and Co., you’re not going to let them score on you this year? Coach Baysinger feels pretty sure of getting seven points every time his boys cross into pay dirt be cause of a certain lad named George Brown. George is one of the best place-kicking specialists in the East. His string of 27 straight was broken when he mised one of the two extra points in this season’s opening game. Let’s try to keep George out of this game boys. This- will be my first night in my new fur. Those lights sure give me a thrill. I remem ber last time I was under the lights—l was in a police sta tion—well—l better not say any more.
