scented II the team could get through

range dates with city league teams.
The players are unanimously in favor
many have declared that the school
should be represented by as strong
a team as possible.
A good plan for the high school
team to enter the league and also
play at its own gymnasium EFouId
be TO allow the Tigers 70 play
