on the eve Of the first game
which Is TO be With West MOnou-
gah High at MOnongah today. the
coaches expressed themselves
pretty we'll satisfied with the pro-
gress the squad has made.
They have ben handicapped
however, in several ways. in de.
veloping their team. First. It was
impossible TO get enough men out
for real good scrimmage ses-
sion. Finally, after several mass
meetings Of the Jtuuents, squad
OF twenty four men was muster
ed, but among these. the coaches
! found only nine men OF desirable
physical specifications from which
TO make team. More mass meet
ings were held. and after threats
that no football team would be
had II more men did not come
i.ont, few more promising candi-
dates reported. Then the real
work Of developing the team DIT.
