floor of the auditorium so as to ac-
commodate the late corners and with
this arrangement it will be possible
to seat close to 5000 persons.

last year at West Point, will be max

the Johnnies will be continuing an
ancient rivalry when they open pro-
ceedings of the big evening with their
basket ball tossing battle.
