Z6 THE QUILI. The following gave Coach Hinds some- thing around which to build his team: E. Dionne, A. Benner, K. Mansir, and D. Gould. Two of these, however, were unable to render much service as D. Gould left school before the season started and A. Benner suffered a broken collar bone during pre-season practice, which prevented him from playing. TRACK With the following veterans, Coach Hinds started to mould a track team: W. Dodge, C. Newhouse, R. Peacock, H. Marston, R. Hopkins, R. Danforth, and F. Weston.
