                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon JURINE, for I, 
Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  What's a move up by 5 you ask?  (alright, maybe you 
didn't ask)  Cause for celebration, according to CUSHING LAKES.  CUSHING LAKES had 
cause to celebrate, after TORBERT got 21 points by beating SLOWPOKE.  Win some, lose 
some.  Speaking of which, SHARPER IMAGE was winsome, after beating ORR and seeing him 
lose 3 points.  Duelmaster BUSHIDO from THE KATANAS is going for the gold, as he 
challenged MIDDLE WAY 16's BEN AND JERRY'S.  Ooh, the excitement!  Those who hoped 
for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by BEN AND JERRY'S, of MIDDLE WAY 16, who 
despite a 23-29-0 couldn't overcome JURINE's Number 1.  Word has it one team in 
JURINE is using psychics to predict wins.  They lead a charmed life!   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?  Perhaps the warriors of OTIS MY MAN should take 
up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  Like a pup with its tail 
between its legs, TEMERE NOMEN scurried away from OTIS MY MAN.  Oh, the shame!   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     Do not think spyreporting in JURINE is the highlight of my life.  More important 
duties call me.  JURINE, I leave you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill 
at The Welcome Wench.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir
