something unusual may be gathered
from the comments voluntarily

nowhere dispraised.

Some one with proper enthusiasm
and pluck, is bound to appear upon
the field to furnish the missing
element that will make winning
team. In order to determine upon
such team, early practice and plenty
of regular training is necessary. The
captain, if he is already elected
should get his men into the field; il
not yet elected, the association should
pick him out at once.
