No definite lineup has been made and none will be made until after the gym. opens, which will be about November lst.
George Callenius, who played on the team last year, will be likely to play center, on this year's team, as he played center part of the time last year.
The fellows who will try to make the team are: John Goodrich, Ralph MeCauley, Chris Meltvedt, George Henderson, George Callenuis, Arthur Noe, Alex Scott and Francis Young: There will be a close contest. because these boys are all good players. They are from the three upper classes.
No telling what our freshman friends will do. They may show more skill than the boys who think they will make the team.
