The first game comes today. The team from
the university is in poor condition for the game,
the continued hot weather forcing Coach White
more to give the men light work. No chances
have been taken with scrimmage work
1t now transpires that several of the old men
who back in school and had been counted
on to add strength to the eleven, will not play.
Sawyer. promising halfback, Orr, big man
