work preparatory to opening of the
foot ball season. Shipley went to Del
aware College last winter to fill in
for the remainder of the year with
very little intention of remaining per-

ally. that Morris and Shipley while in
college were chums and that they
have continued as such since leaving.

fore entering State. while ShipleyS
