CASS-LANSFORD On October 29, the Condors entered a rain soaked Lansford field and battled the Panthers to a 0-0 tie. Due to conditions of the field the officials were forced to reduce the length of the quarters. Both teams had a few scoring op- portunities, but neither could capitalize on them because of the driving rain and sloppy field. It was a well played game and both teams deserved praise for their efforts. Sixteen
