participants and i)early everyone else
on the Island for audience.
•The show, which began shortly
after 7:30 o'clock, opened with a
serpentine parade by ithe players in
costume with Felix Gray as leader.
'Popular songs recomposed for the
occasion wpre chanted a.s a prelim
inary to tlie contests that were soon
tto follow. When most of their sur
plus energy ha<l been dispelled in
this way, Charles Osterberg, who
(was to referee the conflicts, assumed
(charge,.of the 'floor and as master of
cerphlontes introduced tho following
otflclaTs.‘.to tho audience: Dr. Wes

Charles S. Mott., Vice-President of
the General Motors Corporation.
Shud.-ihit't annexed the only bi.-i-.v:
gotten by a ho Fivers', but had hi.
team been better on free throws the
| scare would have been close to .1
; tie. As it was, th > game was a fas;
land furious one from start t-> finish
and so fast it w is lint the ref -ret
was often unable to stop the play
with Ills wliistl ■ or even wlLii th
baseball bat which lie carried to suli
due the tco-eager contestants to tail
a foul. Knock-downs wore f) nju-nnl
and a combination of dribbling an I

One Important feature of the big
show wars the performance of the
orchestra during the evening. Over
tures from ihe latest comic supple
nients were played between the

music furnished by the players was
tho uproarious rooting of the audi

After tho games wore over and the
excitement deed away, the Flappers
invited the Snappers and their hus
bands to join with them in eating
the cake and all repaired to Mrs.
Jarman's residence to complete the
