many OF the athletes are in the college of

eouragement has been given the students to
desert the physical development for the
mental training necessary to prevent faculty
displeasure.
We are mighty anxious that none OF the
men get plucKed this semester" said Coach
John Griffith. Both the track and basket
ball squads are working nicely and Mr..
Delaney and l are anxious that the outlook
