a Double BIN on Saturday.

The high school athletes viii need a
bigger cheering section this week Satur-
day than has turned out before this year.
They will meet Greenfield not only on
gridiron but also on court. The football
game, which is the second home game of
the season. will be played in the after
noon, while tennis match will take
place in the morning at the Country club.
I "Dede's'' boys are working hard and
confidently expect to make up for the
defeat of last Thursday. This defeat
seemed to be the very thing they needed
as they now realize they must fight a
little harder and a little faster. The line
up is to undergo a few changes, as two
stars of b. II. SIS past victories will
doubtless be in the game. 1t is safe to
say that the Greenfield ''heavies" will
have their hands full.
Whenever any new project is begun it
either dies, barely keeps going, or is put
over with bang. 1t dies through a lack
of interest; it barely lives by a half
hearted support; or it succeeds through
the push and energy of its supporters.
Tennis is new sport in the Brattleboro
high school. We have some players who
have worked hard and have formed a
snappy team. Are we going to let this
new sport die out because we are not
interested in tennis, or will we boost it
because it is a Il. III. $. activity?

While the United States Is again

reports were called to their attention
which hinted at the possible use OF
American forces in case OF an allied
advance into German territory. AMI In
