become members of the first Bryan
Kern club of the college propose to

TO MAKE RACE

1t is probable that r. ]. Tompkins.
one of the democratic candidates for
the legislature from the thirteenth dis
trict, will withdraw from the race in
the next day or so, owing to his con-
tinued ill health. Mr. Tompkins is
afflicted with typhoid fever, and does
not feel that it is fair to the party
to remain on the ticket without being
able to get out and make an aggressive
campaign. In case a suitable candidate
is secured, Mr.. Tompkins has stated
that he will withdraw fro-.1 the race
The names of several prominent
democrats have ben suggested for
place, and a meeting of the county
committee has been called for next
Monday evening for the purpose Of
taking such action as may be neces-
sary.

end, Jones will play on the right eide.
and either Nagle or Corkrum on the
ether. Gross will play quarter, and
the half back positions will be played
by Cowan, on the right sile and Grif-

side the % yard line, if in fair posi-
ton. These two men, if they boot as
well in the game as they have been
in practice, will play an important part
in the contest tomorrow.
Altogether. the team is one of the
strongest high school has ever put In
the field and will make a good show
ing tomorrow: and there are none
among the students of the institution
who see anything but victory in sight
for the first game. Coach Cochran is
confident and said this afternoon:
while / know nothing of the other
team, we have good bunch and one
which I feel will put UP good fight
Some Of the boys are new at the game,
but all are good scrsppers and play
for all there is in it. We will / hope,
be able to bring out one or two small
surprises during the course of the
game
Little Or nothing is known of the
Weston team, but it is rumored that
they have heavy bunch and are
coming up with the intention of re-
trieving last years defeats. Last years

the schools but this has passed away
and both sides are confident nothing
of the kind will mar relations this
year. and the game tomorrow viii. un-
doubtedly be a good, clean, hard
fought contest.
