the play, arranged for earlier in the

the fact that the leaders in the grid

have been practicing under competent
coaches for some time now, the num-
Der of candidates averaging well over
the 100 mark. No attempt has been
made to curtail the schedules and all
games will be played as planned. ex-
cept where colleges engaged have
dropped football. These open dates
will be filled If opponents can be se-
cured. This, however, is not a partic-
