Smoothing out the mistakes, then, has been the order of the day in the Fairbury camp this week, and if Grovert can get this done, he could have the horses to make a run for the Inter-State Conference title.

Dennis Hansen and Harry Elder, both veterans, are a pair of "real good defensive ends." Kohler is another de-fensive standout.

So will the return to duty of Sal DeTeso, an of-fensive guard who has been sidelined with an injured knee but should be ready for action in the conference contest with Haskell.

All my whole life there was the Braves, and now they're gone. This way," he said, "we all lost a little." The Dodgers, edged the Braves 7-6 in 11 innings.
