Each team is limited to salary list OF
s140 per week and may not carry more
than twelve men. The schedule of
games, to be arranged soon, will cover
the period from July 1st to about Sept.
10th. There will be an average of two
games week for each team, one at home
and one away.
Randolph is taking hold of the matter
in earnest and will be represented by a
strong team. Players from the Universi-
ty of Vermont, Dartmouth and Mont
pelier have been secured and the manage
ment is after others. Local men will al

game Saturday did not amount to much
on account of the lateness of the train
that brought some of the players.
