Pasadena, the Californians have a more impressive record than tlie Presidents, the Easterners are far from a weak aggregation. The recent defeat they handed Detroit 1'nlversily after that team had gone through the entire season undefeated, shows that clearly.

Tlie Presidents are erratic, but have wonderful tootball ability at times. With the negro, West, tliey have a power in the back field who has played brilliantly all season. In the Syracuse game, West received the ball on the ki.ckoff and with almost perfect Interference ran the entire length of the field for a touchdown. The W. J.

backfield is reported to be strong on defense and able to break up their opponents aerial attack. This means that the shining aerial attack of the Bears which has proved effective all season, may meet a stumbling block.

Dormitories and the gridiron of Dallas university, vacant during the holidays, has been turned over to the farmers. The Aggie players voted unanimously to sacrifice their Christmas vacation in order to prepare for their clash with Centre. i The High school boys Sunday school class of the Congregational church met with Mr. Russell after basketball practice yesterday afternoon at the Y. St.

C. A. to discuss plans for the team. The captain for the team for the season 3S21-22 was elected. Several nominations were made but the lucky man was Henry flerwjg who carried the vote by a large majority.

Gerwig is the star player on the team and. should make a good captain. The class is going; to have a strong team, if practices mean anything', as they are doing- some good work on the floor, considering the short time they have been training. With the full support of his men Gerwig ought to make a good showing with his aggregation in the City Sunday School league.
