the candidates were kept busy run

lieyes this young recruit can be made
into a first rate kicker which Is one
of his crying needs at the present.
Instructions TO men on the line are
already becoming apparent and speed
tests to be given today or tomorrow
or the next day win give good idea
of some sure shots, The balance of

start today. Signals will be given out
Monday and next week will see the
hardest practices ever put on at the
local high school.
New outfits for the second team
rave arrived all ready and more out

practice is expected to bring the to-
tal of those out up to forty, while
Monday il is hoped that fifty will be
out. Two squads will be picked, the
first comprising eighteen men, while
the balance of those remaining out
will be members of the second squad.
Games are now being arranged for
the seconds so they will have plenty
to do. They will also have different
ontfts and signals from the first,

lecture to his players that one
thing he would not tolerate would be

by Newburg will be to give some lee
