SOCCER 'iGreaT Team This year, huh Jay? said The red hair To The gray. Can'T say yeT, Obef' was The reply To The All-CiTy halTback-To-be.

Cap- Tain KaTz and CenTer Shoup sTood in The corner oT The penalTy area loolcing aT The neT ThaT They To- geTher would hiT ThirTy Times during The TourTeen games ThaT lay ahead. KauTTmann and BurTon lwho would soon prove Themselves invaluable aT wingl were sTreTched ouT on The dull Tan grass ThaT covered The hill beTween The playing Tields. Some dusT whislced up inTo The air, disTurbed by The TeeT oT Vic and Chuclc, who would soon disTurb many a rival ouTTiT.

We'd be sued Tor misrepresenTaTionl GIRLS BASKETBALL This FieldsTon Team is supposed To be marvelous. This should be some game. The group oT girls reached The Top oT The hill and Turned up Toward The gym. Their News says ThaT The Childs Twins are TerriTic. Liz is a Torward, wiTh I-lelen I-lays-you know. The CapTain-and Davis and Scheuer. They'll probably make iT Tough Tor our guards. They've hardly ever missed so Tar. They passed The snow-covered cemenT courT and The empTy maroon buses.
