seminary season. 7
Foxcroft's sextet will have a slight
advantage in that II already has en-
gagged in one tilt and SO has had an
opportunity to gauge it's strength and
learn its weaknesses. Last week the

Mawr Preparatory School team OF
Baltimore and made an excellent
showing, despite the fact that they
failed to bring home the long end of

an exceptionally fine court squad this
year, and Foxcroft held them well, so

Il hard battle Saturday.
