The moan diminished. droned down

A request has recently been re-
celNed from Haverhil, Mass. High,
asking for football game with Cony
high on Sept. -. AS this would he
the first game Of the season and
ConN will have a green, light team.
Coach Thompson said that the game
would probably be refused, but az
the same time Cony is proud OF this
recognition of their athletic prowess
by out of state schools. The coach
says that one of the reasons for re
fusing this request is that it is not a
good policy to make long trips and
play hard GANGS at the first OF the
season. especially as he will have a
green team.
Coach Thompson has also an
nounced that a baseball game with
Lam English high school will prob
ably be played here this year. 1t
will be remembered that Lynn came
to this city TO play last spring but
that because of Indictment weather
the game did not matcrialiZe and
that after waiting two or three days
the boys returned to LINN.
They will have much the same
team as last year and as Cony will
also have n team of nearly the same
personnel this game should be well
worth watching.

"Rstircment"

A tired feeling has evidently turned

Work is the most dcep-rooted oi

Suddenly to renounce it isn't sale.
We can recall eUfyins- if unverlhea

tired and died at once; or else came
back and asked to be made ofhee
