! No Football: a
The local high school will not
support football team this year,

This intention Of organizing SQUADS
and teaching them the rudimentS OF

| be faster this year than last. With
four veterans from last year, VIII
! son., N. Michael, Underwood and
! Pitzer, as well as several boys who
have had quite a large experience
on the second team, it is likely
that Coach Copp will have little
trouble in even beating his last
wears record. Toothman, Mitchell,
\ Cronip, Fox O'De1l, who played on
! the second team last year, as We'll
as Dodd, Waters and Maness, who
