Seymour, Alexander, Clark and Clinton also played during part of the game. Dancing to music supplied by a fine fivepiece orchestra preceded the game, and there was more dancing during the halves. An attendance of 400 looked on. Club members are urged to note that Paramount has a mighty fine team, and that those who attend the game as spectators will be supplied with the thrill of a lifetime.
