CcnnaushtOn Heavy
Last season Cornaughton weighed
shout 23J pounds. Yesterday he tipDPd
The scales at 30 pounds, or, in other
words, he made II gain of forty notch'S
IN twelve months. 1t was necessary
Tor him to have special equipment.
However. Connaughton is very fast for
n biz man and does not slow up the
line as giants arc wont to do.
One tarkl" post is untitled, Maurey
O'Neill. who cavort"d at this place last
yeor was in school Yesterday but was
not at the field. 1t seems that this is
not the only reason for his absence.
Ralph Donohur, his running mate, how
ever, was hard at it and seems to have
tinched the other side Of the line.
