there was enthusiastic praise for Kelley
today at Eastern.
1--WE were delighted over Eastern's
showing" said Mr.. Hart "Kelley's
coaching has resulted in the develop
ment of a much better team from our
inexperienced material than we ever
thought was possible. We are proud OF
him and the players. I won't say that
we'll beat Central in our next game,
November IL. but well work extremely
hard to do It. We hope, too, to make
Tech. whom we meet November ID In
the last game of the series, put forth
its best efforts to beat US"
"Oh. boy, wasn't that an improved
team?" asked John Paul Collins, East

why, before the season started we
didn't think we could win a series
game. Mike Kelley deserves most OF
the credit. He has worked like Trojan.
He has those kids in fghting trim,
physically and mentally. Just think,
Charlie Mades was the only experienced
how he had on his SQUAD. and he was
not good enough for the first team last
season. Yes, sir, the best you can say
about Mike could not be nearly
enough. Only two players on the team.
Mades and Wells, are seniors. Watch
us next year"
