playing strictly school team. There
is no ringer on the team, nobody who is
not really student. Some Of the
other school teams can say the same
and some cannot. 1t is claimed that

have always been straight school

take pride in such teams. ANY school
can pick up winning team by going
outside aud selecting members for foot

that they never came within several
grades of Il High school course.
