It's 84th session, the students will be
up against new proposition and one
that will be hard to meet. That ex.

monty designated as ''hazing' has
been forevermore abolished and the
embryonic freshman will be left to
pursue his own course and whims to
a greater degree Of safety than has
existed hitherto.
It developed last spring that there

The proposition of exercising a

OPENING
Foot Ball Game viii Be On
September q
Mt. Vernon nIgh viii Have A
Strong Team 10 The Field

The opening game of the Mt. Yer
non high school foot ball schedule
will be played at home on September
21st. This game will be with the
Gallon high schol team and will per-
haps tax the strength of the locals be-
cause Gallon invariably turns out a
good squad.
A foot ball meeting was held at the
close of school Wednesday afternoon
and about twenty-five candidates at.
tended. Captain Reeder is of the
opinion that there are more to re-
spond and believes that a good fast
team can be built up with the foot
ball timber available. The first prac.
tice of the year was held at River.
SIDE park Thursday afternoon.
Considerable trouble is being ex.
perienced in filling the dates of the
schedule. Communications are not
being answered by managers of var.
ious teams throughout this section of
the state and only three dates have
been secured. All of them are at
home. Gallon, Newark and Columbus
North High have been scheduled and
others are expected in a short time.
A game with the alumni will be
played at Riverside park one week
from Saturday and will, in a large
measure. determine the strength of
the squad and enable Captain Reeder
to know where to begin wedding.
Attempts will be made to maintain
scrub team for regular scrimmage
practice and any member of the scrub
team may be at any time put into the
game in the varsity lineup.
Several veterans will be missing
this year although new men with abil.
ity are ready to take their places. AL.
tenberg, Culbertson, Loney, Postle
and Seavolt are out of school and will
be missed from the squad. However
the prospect Is good and the team
will not be below the standard OF
those turned out in the last several
years.
