No Candidates for End.
This year through graduation and
other causes, the team has been left
without a man who can play either Of
the ends. and. not being allowed to
draw from the freshman class, It must
develop them from what material was
left over from last year. Tooker and
Brasher, who held down the two ends
last year, have been graduated, and
O'Brien. who was an excellent substi-
tute at this position. has been dropped
