With the possibility Of the ban on
public assemblages being lifted by the
Health Board soon, Wilmington High
Schools football squad will resume
practice this afternoon ut Eighteenth

of almost three weeks. Since school
closed the squad has had no practice
and will practically have to begin all
over again to finish out the schedule.
The Harlan squad resumed practice
in real earnest yesterday, and for the
first time went through several regular
plays which will be used in the opening
game which the management hopes to
stage Saturday The squad which was
rather small showed that the eleven was
very much in the making and workouts
will be needed every day this week to
get into any sort of shape. A larger
turnout of candidates is expected and the
squad will show improvement from day
To day.
These two elevens. Harlan and High
School. will furnish nearly all the football
that will be seen during the belated season
in Wilmington, and the many followers of
the pridiron sport are anxio,nly awaiting
the time when they will get into action.
Both elevens will have a rather hard row
TO hoe and will require some mighty
intensive training TO overcome the handi
cap of quitting practice.
