 The last dates back to 1912 when the late Brig. Gen. Edward L.. Munson invented the form that bears his name.

The story behind the scene of
the DeviletteS loss in the semi
finals of the county tournament
goes like this. Before the start
Of the game, the girls were
warming up with only two mem
bers of the first team present.
When game time was called two
more of the first team walked
in and the game was held up a
few minutes while they dressed.
The two late arrivals went into
the game without chance TO
warm up. Several minutes after
the game was underway the
last two members of the first
team showed up and entered
without warming up. During
intermission, Coach Caruso, in
stead of giving the girls the
regular pep talk, had the team
on the run trying to get them
warmed up enough TO resemble
the Devilette team of previous
games. Better late than never
did not apply in this game.

back to commence training

on tap for him within the

spent some time at home here

Two years ago, State schools
for the deaf in Indiana and
Arkansas produced two outstand-

to the boys, offering special
tutoring. One was an All-State
halfback. But the boys were
forced to turn down the proffered
scholarships and as they were not
in the top $50 nationally in the
