team is getting ready for the coming

Hill. Coburn Classical, Exeter and

four hard games ahead of them, the
green ierseyed boys are hard at work

coal line having not been crossed,
the bows are going out to establlsn'
or trv to establish. a feat which IS
unknown in the history of Name

Coaches Dwyer and Thompson gave
the boys long talk on the four Dig
games that are to come. They made
the bows realize that they have a
great task on their hands to meet and
give battle to all the four teams
stated above.
The first team plays its last home
game of the season when it meets
the Bates second team at Hebron on
next Saturday. The second team un-
der the vatchful eye of both coaches
will tourney to Wilton. where they
