has good understudy in Russell, a
new man, while Bean and Rice. both
new candidates. are fighting hard for
positions in the line. Williams, Ges-

all veterans of last year, are fast
gaining their old-time form

tion for the wing positions; Wilcox
and Cantler, both newcomers, are
showing fine form for so early in the

also possibilities for end positions.
