We're in their regular positions at either
end, and Captain Bleamaster held
down his old job of right guard. New
faces in the line We're Sparks at CEN

Ziegler at full. The Ames reserves al
so played an interesting game with
west high.
The opening game of the campaign
between college teams will be played at
