by one of the strongest Rugby fiftecns

it is stated than many new recru;,s
from the neighboring high schools who
have played the British sport intend TO

Floyd Brown and Faulkner are all in

The new talent which is expected to
enter the university is largely from
the Palo Alto high school and the San
Jose high school. Practically the en-
tire Palo Alto high school team is to
enter the freshman class. These lads
have played the game for three years
and are as proficient as the average
second year student here. They will
make the possibility of the freshman
class breaking the string of defeats
