Botli teams will be in top-notch condition and looks -as if a “bresk" either way may decide the issue. Both coaches, from the open- ing whistle, will be shuffling their lines to get the ali-inlportant first score and the upsurge in spirit to a team that comes with it. There is no -clcnying that the Saints have a powerful offensive team and any team that takes a game from thern will have to collect more than a fcvi’ tallies.
