Saturdays meet Worth Littlejohn

Why can't I make the school
athletic teams? I know l am bet
ter than he is. If these questions
are on your mind stop and anal
we yourself. Recent association
with potentially star athletes in
the Twin towns revealed that dis
sipation, lazliness and lack of coop
Grafton with the coaches are the
major reasons for failure to make
the teams. For those fortunate
enough to have another year or
opportunity, try to correct your
own faults and see what deve-
lops.

Minneapolis Central and John
johnson Of South High annexed
