Letters saying "Graceville Oilers Booster Club" had almost faded away on the concrete-block centerfield fence. The portable bleachers in left field had begun to rot beyond salvation. Gone were...
...Princeton team is a big unknown. Its record is a strong 4-1 but it hasn't played since a loss October 26 and could be cold after that lay-off. The Tiger freshmen have been rough, though, in recent years. The Yardling booters haven't taken a game at Princeton since...
