SQUAD GOES EARLY.
Coach Exendine took his football
squad over to Annapolis In special
cars long before noon in order that
the athletes might have lunch and a
brief rest before dressing for today's
clash with the Middies. Every lad in
the squad was grinning as he boarded
the cars on New York avenue. There
wasn't crouch in the gang. If mere
confidence counts for anything, the
game was won already.

The left side of the line, with Ken
