curtailed by the baseball games on the
campus Wednesday afternoon, SO not
much Of a practice was held. No new

his togs and he is looking better than
ever this year and should certainly be
the sensation of the college season. 1t
now looks as though he would have a
strong set of backs to help him out and
he will doubtless be able to show his
true speed in the games to come.
