son is not out for the eleven. In other
words. Snyder must start system of
rebuilding. One whole year has been
lost with no results Obtained whatso-
ever.
Snyder is taking the problem in hand
In an optimistic manner and realizes
that he cannot round out a champion
shin eleven from the green material. But
hovcS TO have team that will be Il
credit to the reputation of the schoo!..
This is all he wants. and if he can
win half Of the games to be played he
will bc more than we'll satisfied.
