ment OF the Harlan football management
that they will continue to PLAY on through

other unfor seen accidents, is n heavily
snow or icc-covcred field, according TO
Manager Joe Condor.
BY this announcement, it can be seen
that Harlan considers itself now in mid
season on account of the great amount of
time lost during the "ilu' epidemic. Only
four games two victories, ono draw and
one defeat) have thus far been played.
One of the main reasons Of continuing the
season. Manager Condor states, IS that
including Riverside, there are several
teams that the Harlan PLAYERS are ANXIOUS
TO meet Among the elevcns the Front
and West street shipbuilders still have
hopes of clashing with arc Hog Island and
another game with League Island.
Coach Billy Martin is putting his men
through some hard practices and tough
scrimmagcs this week all of the men hav-
ing fully recovered from their hard battle
with League Island on Thanksgiving Day
Too much credit can not bc given Tor the
showing Harlan made against the Navy
Yard for they faced Dickson's first team
in the first three quarters of the game
This same eleven has defeated some of the
best college and service clcvens III the east
and south, trouncing the Charleston Navy
