Since Monday Eby and GustafsOn

the team have been asked hundred
times daily what they thought Of their
chances against the Englishmen and
whether Gustafson would be in shape,
in addition to many other questions.
So 'het up nre the students over the
relays that start tomorrow afternoon
that they stop the athletes going 10 and
from class and even on Franklin Field
while they are running TO get tue latest

Robbie made up his mind to prevent
this and the only method that occurred
10 him was to take the athletes away
from the scene of their daily workouts.

Shields and Larry Brown. of the two
