cut the squad Of candidates down to
twelve men after tomorrow's practice.
according to reliable Information re-
ceivcd at tho West End school this

Just who will be included in colii-

tices, and the choice can be made only
with the greatest difficulty.

ali these are likely to be kept at prac-
tice. -,
The strength Of the squad will be
greatly augmented after the Christmaa
vacation, as Formey. Hershey. and
Murray will be able to report for pract'
tice BY that time. These three stars
are ali out Of the game now because
Of injuries, but will be ready for hard
work BY the first Of the year.
