schools. The work of the thus far this season
has been satisfactory. The freshmen sophomore
games held this autumn instead of in the |
spring. as it was thought advisable to give the
newer material light training and not leave .t
all until the spring. The plan success. The |
fall handicap games were also good. An excellent |
schedule has been arranged for the coming season.
