North 7 THE BLUE AND WHITE GAME The Blue and White game was a practice game y between the boys on the team at North when there was an off week for regular competitive games. The players were divided equally, one side wearing the blue uniforms and the other, the white uniforms. The student body was permitted to watch the game. The boys put just as much enthusiasm into playing as if it were a regular game, for the competition was great. The students also selected a favorite and pulled hard for them to win. The final score was 6-6.
