say who Will get the choice Saturday,
V "iiont2'' Dekreon and Brick Farrell
were at the halves last night, but sew.
eral other want to get in the back

the two most dangerous competitors
for the place. West said he would be

Newberg wanted to spend his time
with the first team, and he did not in

for. the locals, is rated as having one |
of tie best teams iii its history. al |
though is did lose to La Sale by a |
70 TO 0 score, but previous to the La !
Sale game Mendoza had played two
games, shutting ont their opponents
and running up large scores ON them.
