The Plebe eleven is touted as an unusu-

The action of the Business High School
team in working out with the Technical
squad in preparation for the game with
Central Friday is to be regretted and
appears a trife below true sportsman
ship. Although Business and Technical
have already played their game i'm the

anxious to arrange games with second
