 Outlook Is Bright
 Almost the same team will be back next year. Of the F lettcrmen, II will be back. Graduation will rob | tho team of three Of its regular mem | bers, as well as three substitutes who l made their letter. The three men to | go are Johnnie Gicrochowski, half | back; Carlton Walker, fullback. and Duke" Itogin, tackle. All will be sorely missed. Gierochowski, 8 iine | line plungcr drop kicker and q star on the defense win leave big gap al Walker. acting captain. is fine defensive man. dependable puntcr. and good leader Rogin played n fine steady game throughout the entire season, and at the end Of the schedule he was considered one Of the best at his position in the state. Gains, end; Putney. guard. and Damico guard. are also lost to tho team. With tlIe latter two gone there is no experienced line man to ill Rogin's place at tackle. but it is that Hubby" Beloin will be shifted to tackle, and q new man will Dc eroomed to fll in at guard next
 Ts.. xeon Of the substitutes will be lost through graduation.
