Saturday in their first game of the sea-

, indicate that the Glenwood high school
} team should run up good score when
they meet the peach city lads While
the locals are confident of winning
over Grand Junction, they are working
harder than ever to be in the best of
shape. Their game against Aspen show
ed them one or two weak plays and
they are now strengthening them.
