That problem was taken away
from the players this year when
the Alumni Circle T Club voted
to insure all varsity athletes Of
the school for the entire year.
The insurance, formerly paid
for by the players, now Is
financed by the alumni group,
an organization composed Of
Tech athletes of days gone by.
The football players-up to
A Of them-are the first to
benefit under the new program.
The insurance, incidentally, costs
more than ever before because
Of the high rate Of football in

particularly In the washington
area. At least, that's the word Of

the cost will be $260 for each
participant-all to be paid for

Football, it seems, Is the highest.
Money to finance the project
was raised through proceeds from

that North Dakota and Maine were

most areas.
"On the upper Mississippi, the
daily average was about three on
the opening day, but there was Q
pronounced decline on the following
day. In the Detroit lakes area there
was good hunting for the first few
days. In WISCONSIN, hunting gem
orally has been poor, with fairly
good shooting only In the north

to teal and local ducks. Other States

team to make a better showing
against the Trainers than 1t did

what is believed by some to be the

George passed to two touchdowns

Strain pulled Bob Poch's tumble out
of midair and raced 40 yards for a
touchdown in the initial period.
With George sparkling an aerial
attack the Jehnnies drove 80 yards
to tie the score in the second frame,
George passing to Fannon for the
touchdown from the 7.
Western went ahead again in the
third when Strain passed to Norm
