the Claremontians have the advantage
over US in many ways, and the only

for it.

Manager Crane, like the tar baby,
generally keeps on saying nothing when
asked his opinion of any athletic pro-

only important goal to be sough: by
the Presbyterians IN the long season or
training, so that to be beaten by the
Congregationalists will offset the en-
tire list of victories already wrested
from the high schools and secondary
institutions.

trouble in displacing Whittier for the
second honors in the conference, but
