would continue in their determination
to carry out heir duty towards Ru-

go on to the end with unity until
we have attained the objects for
which we entered the war. With our

owner believes in preparedness.

ded mitt, will travel back and forth
across teh lot, for Coach Holway has
promised an immediate turnout Of
the baseball material.
To say that the outlook for the
coming baseball season looked bad at
the beginning of the school season
would be giving the situation the
benefit of the doubt. With the loss
of the stair pitcher, now in the Unit
ed States service; with the loss OF
their second baseman, catcher, short
stop and outfielder, besides severa
strong substitutes, the outlook was
