GETTING READY FOR FOOTBALL
HIGH SCHOOL BOYS WARMING UP
MANY OLD PLAYERS
=. LOST

Although school has been in session
but two weeks the boys have already
turned their attention toward foot
ball and they are out practicing every
evening when the weather is favora-
BILE. Coach Liljedahl says he has a
likely bunch of candidates for the team
and he hopes to develop a winning
squad.
Mr.. Zipoy who is arranging the
schedule, has communicated with the
high schools at Btainerd, Aitkin, St.
Cloud, Alexandria and Anoka for
games. St. Cloud has already been
scheduled for October 81. The first
game. Of the season will probably be
on September 80 or October 7. Only
about six games will be scheduled.
The team will be composed almost
entirely of new players, as the best
boys on last years team have been
lost. Graham, Belanger, Sutliff, Bran
men and Longley graduated and Felix
is with the National Guard at the bor-
der. Two Of the old players, Levin
and Sims, will be back on the team
this year and the subs will also try for
positions.
The basketball season will probably
open in the latter part Of November
but no games with outside teams will
be scheduled to be played until after
Christmas. About a l2- game schedule
will be arranged. Last year the team
played IS games but this is considered
too much as during the basketball
season all other activities at the
school are suspended.
