SPIECTATOR 23 the Sophomores and Freshmen are recognized. As it takes from one to two years to develop a player, we must depend on the juniors and Sophomores for next year's team, these classes having had candidates out for football since enter- ing school. Manager Speck has arranged one of the most attractive schedules which our High School team has ever had. Since the team takes but one trip this year and has at home two very attractive games, the Greensburg and Harrisburg games, a very successful season is expected. As many students as possible should arrange to accompany the team to Connells- ville this year, where we will play one of our hardest games. This game is scheduled for the eighteenth of October and will be well contested. The Greensburg game this year will be the big game of the season, and many Greensburg rooters are expected to come with the team. As those who went to Greensburg last year will remember the cordial treatment accorded us by the Greensburg management, we hope they will co-operate with us in making this day pleasant. Manager Speck has arranged the following schedule: October 4-Latrobe. October ll+Uniontown. October 18-At Connellsville. October 25-Harrisburg. November 1. November 8. November 15-Greensburg. November 22. November 27. School News T The Agassiz Association will be organized again this year. Anyone interested in nature work of any kind, whether he has had any instruction or not, is cordially invited to join. The annual fee is twenty-five cents.
