Last year's game which was also played at the beginning of the season resulted in a 0 to 0 tie, the game...
...other test pit gives indications of resulting in the same way as the first, with a layer of gravel occupying the first 14 feet. The foreman of the digging operations expressed himself as well satisfied with the straba revealed by the shafts.
