TURNOUT LIGHT

More track men Ia the constant
appeal Of Coach "Hcc" Edmundson.
The squad has disappointed the coach
this season. Few track distance men
reported at the first call and fewer
weight men are turning out to
strengthen the field squad.
Distance men are turning out three
nights each week. Edmunsson has
several promising half-milcrs, but no
uren for the longer runs. The weight
men 10 replace Pope and Bergmen
are hard 10 find and the coach Is
calling for more material.
