Fossctt. a Gridiron Battles Break bout Even Although the 1939 team made the same cold fact, and iigure record as the team of 1938, this year's team put up a more satisfac- tory lmrand of play. The expectation that 'anext week will he differenti' was present after every game. and while usually there was disappoint- ment, each game produced several tense, thrilling, and hopeful situations.
