A short time was spent yesterday
| morning in having several players of
| the football teams, Captain Ben

team, and Captain Lester Komers of
the second, give talks about the game
the prev Gus Saturday. The boys
didn't use up much time SO coach
| Wolf talked for about ten minutes,

the game. Principal Painter then

and he said that he hoped the boys

by the adults, because as it is now
there is always two hours of standing
which is too much for many.

crimes which were daily being COM
