There are very few good men COM

Boston College foot ball prospects
are not any too bright. Several

Jack Heaphy. captain-elect, is
scholastically ineligible. and Tom

injuries received last fall.

planning to have two sets Of them.
Just who will be secondary backs has
not been decided.

are getting much experience In
handling wet foot balls. Indictment
weather has prevailed almost con-
tinually since the start OF training,
but Coaches Neale and Kellison have
been sending the candidates through
long drills. Much attention has been
devoted to kicking and catching punts
on the slippery field.
Prospects are excellent for a good
season at Rutgers, and Coach San

party of twentyf boys who were en-

for boys, the other party of twenty

the Mortified Seminary.
Money to meet the expenses of en-

The opening Of the horse show at New

zanre Lenglen at the Rhode Island re-
sort tom rrow proved drawing card
for those who had not been surfeited
by the week of sensational tennis at
the Meadow Club recently.

are summer residents Of Southampton.
That being the case. there was no
formal entertaining last night, the
