INITIAL DRILLS.
BY GARRETT WATERS

Football, of course, is the first
major event ahead of the high

promises to be as interesting as
any in the past few years.
But looking a little further into
the calendar, the basketball sea-
son definitely will have it mo-

The Friday tits are slated at
night, beginning at 7:30 p. m.
The Tech High School gym will
be the scene for all games.
MORE ATTRACTIVE
This situation is bound to be
even more attractive than the
set-up which prevailed last year
when singles games were played
early in the week and twin bills
on Fridays.
Director Bayh will have the in
terhigh football schedule ready
for release soon. The opening is
slated early in October.
In the interim, the various
teams are getting in early ticks as
thoroughly as can be imagined.

In scrimmage, Cronin performed
brilliantly, leading the Maryland

Charley Weidinger, MarylandS

tinues his fine work. From the
sidelines, it looks very much as if
Waverly Wheeler will be Charley'S

day by Head Coach Jim Pixlee,
who expressed himself as pleased
with the progress of the Colonials

In addition to scrimmage late
this afternoon, the G. w. linemen
faced extra periods of work with
Botcheh Koch, line mentor who
arrived with Merka and who is
anxious to make up for time lost
in his absence the past two days.
