his Spring practice, which
winds up this week. In fact,
Tom actually is just a bit dis

Spring. In that regard, haven't bit
of kick, but the men simply have not
shown the ability thought they had.
Some of the players from the freshman
team who, as freshmen, had big repu-
tations and were heralded as world
beaters, are nothing of the kind, but
simply good, earnest. Woodworking
kids, who will do their best. Or course,
it remains to be seen just how coed
that best is, but so far that best has
not been sufficient to indicate to me
that things will be any too rosy next
season.

I'm rot saying that we shall not have
a go,d team, because we will, but what
I am saying is that the team Is not
likely to be good enough to warrant
any thought that there is the least
likelihood of us going through without
taking some liekings. Well have
