 Thus 12 teams will get the call either Friday or Saturday to carry the banner ot their respective schools into competi- tive play. The probability of increas- ing the number to 16 teams by selective methods was passed by the boards as being an unsuitable means of increas- ing the list.

 He waited only long enough to make sure that Bobby would jump for the other tree. and then Buster went down faster than he had come up. You see he just dropped for the last half of the distance. So by the time Bobby Coon was half way down the slender tree Buster Bear was at the foot of 1t waiting for him. Poor Bobby. At first he thought he was no better off than before. There was no other tree he could reach from this one. Now all Buster would have to do would be to climb up and get him. Bobby was about ready to give up in despair.
 But Buster didn't climb up. He didn't even try. He just stood there at the foot of the tree and growled Every growl made shiver of fright run all over Bobby. Why didn't Buster hurry up and get him? All in a flash it came to Bobby why Buster didn't. He didn't because he couldn't! {! That was the reason. He, couldn't climb that tree because it was too small for him to climb. He is such a big fellow that he has to have a good sized tree to get his arms around. Once more Bobby began to hope.
 But Buster Bear isn't one to give up easily, No sir, Buster doesn't give up until he has tried all the things he can think of. Now he stood up and took hold of that tree almost as if he were going to try to climb it. At first Bobby thought he was. but in minute he found out his mistage. Buster be- gan to shake that tree. My, my, my. how he did shake it! He was trying to shake Bobby Coon down.
 The very first shake caught Bobby by surprise. and he very nearly lost his hold. Then he saw what Buster was up to- and he held on for dear life. He held on with arms and legs and teeth. Back and forth swung that tree and Bobby with it. It was worse, very much worse, than the hardest wind Bobby ever had been out in. But he grimly held on with claws and teeth, and over and over he said to himself |:
 T won't let go. I won't let 20. I won't let go." And he didn't.
