All members answered the roll call for candidates in football at the opening of the school term. They all played on Mr. P. Y. Hoover's ll8-pound team and were all equally good performers. Although the team did not enjoy the usual successful season, they must be congratulated on their fighting spirit and determination to at least try for the coveted championship.

Time after time the onslaughts of the powerful Tome attack were stopped, and exhausted but tri- umphant., we had a 7-0 victory.
