The first intra-city series tilt was played off when the North Side Red- skins tackled the Blue and were Van- quished to the tune of 40-16.

The traditional Green-Blue contest was next on the Tiger menu. This tilt found the Central five in that con- stantly threatening slump which seemed to appear at the wrong in- tervals.
