Harry Wilson has gained about

one more ambition. He hopes to
help beat the Navy once again.
When West Point came off VIC

Harry Wilson who did it. In the

plays lacrosse as well or better
than football. O'Donnell, Ayre and
Saunders, last years football men,
with Donald, Sladen, Holley and
Allen, make up Wilson's team
mates in attack. Born and Har-
bold, who worked well together a.

with the. team as goal defenders.
