Team Is Working Hard

st. Johns players and followers
alike, realize that the game is going
TO he the hardest kind of fight
While there is disappointment over the
defeat by Mount ST. Mary's, it is felt
here that the loss really spurred the
players to redouble their efforts in
view of the hard game ahead. St
Black and Blue warriors in action are
impressed by the smoothness that Van
Orman has developed in his machine,
and the Cadets will have to give the
best that is in them to humble their
rivals.
Yesterday the team was driven
through a long practice hut there was
only a dummy scrimmage. The major
portion of the time was devoted 10 pol
ishing up new formations, kicking and
handling runts and other elementary
tactics Every precaution is Icing
taken TO guard against injuries. The
locals have been rather fortunate this
season as far as the disabled list is
concerned. Kirkpatrick, star halfback

MAY HAVE TO STAY THERE

An exodus Of foreigners from this
community is taking place as the result
OF the industrial depression. Something
OF this sort invariably follows ia" cloS-
ing OF the big plants. so tho present
movement 10 fer:gn lands is not alto
gethcr surprising. The only new factor
is the change in European conditions
since the war Existence in the coun-
tries from which most OF our foreign
workers como is supposed to be more
difficult now than in America. but this
OF course does not apply so acutely Z"
those who have some money ahead.
Particularly does this apply to hmeri-
can money, which may be exchanged
for an unusually large sum in the cur
rency of any foreign nation. No longer
able TO make big wages here. and In
many cases out Of employment. these
workers can pay their way home and
still save money by staying there until
the plants reopen
Should the industrial plants remain
closed for few months. tn" country
will be pretty well drained of this elc-
ment. That means n labor shortage of
considerable proportions when business
and industry begin to boom again. BY
that time our new law to restrict !mmi-
grafton may DO on the statute books,
and it is quite conceivable that We shall
face a condition In regard to workers
similar to that which prevailed during
the war.
