Warw0od Will probably turn out the
lightest high school football team IN the
valley this year. According to Principal
Harry Smith who Is coaching the team
the players are for the most part very
light and the majority Of them without
experience. Five OF last years men re-
main aud only two Of these were rcgU-
lars.
However. the fight and pcp for which
the Green and White teams have always
acquired n reputation is expected TO
overcome the lightncss OF the team. Al
though actual fiEurs could rot be OBJ
tanned this early in the season. it is
estimated that the WarwoOd team will
not average over 1870 pounds.
