With most practice sessions thwarted

Shipley is hesitant about predicting

pares favorably with last seasons nine.
But two members of the 1885 team
will trot on the field to oppose the
Buckeyes. Two others who have been
ousted from regular positions will
view proceedings from the bench.
Ordinarily the loss of seven regulars
of a sock-cessful ball club that won

necessity of at least years rebuilding
