This is good news to the Blue and
Gray. as Cunnif is a corking football
player, and while there is a wealth of
material to pick FROM Cunniff will be
welcomed with open arms.
There was a great deal of rejoicing
when Tug" Fury and Barricello showed
up for practice. These men will add a
great deal of strength to the Hultoppers

than last year, the center trio Of the |
line being about the only men on the |
team that have any weight about them.
Over at Western yesterday Coach Cur |
ley BYRD had twenty-fOur men out, and |
they were not all little fellows at that, |
