husky bunch, many OF them last, but
few knowing in which direction to run.
Several of the players on the roster,
though, are thoroughly seasoned school,
boy performers ana, II Dick gets by with
few injuries, and gets some other
breaks, 1t seems certain Dewitt soon will
have very respectable team.

Western High athletic luminary,
who is being groomed for quarterback.

is fast, is displaying promise as left
