This lad bails from the Buckeye state and came to Rollins heralded aS a fleet and adroit half back, and it can only be said that the tad has come up to his recommendations, for he easily placed himself among the more promising of the backfield candidates of the local squad at the opening of the year. The regular backfield men. of the Tar aggregation vie with each other as to their football prowess. Either combination used by the Rollins College athletic, mentor of Seeds, Baumberns, Terre and Thomas, or R. Colado, Hoefling, Seeds and Thomas have proved to be good ground gainers this year.

Two hours each afternoon this week and for the first three days of next week will see the locals displaying their wares on the local gridiron in preparation for the Turkey Day grid classic. After a week of rest the Blue and Gold wears of the moleskin are bitting their old stride in the way of being put through the mill in the line of practice periods. Concentration on the development of a bit more aggressive offensive fight 1e the objective of the locals and if the good work' continues as It' has the past two days it is a cer. tainty that the Hatters will run across a snag when they tackle the Tars Thanksgiving Day morning.

Rogers was, pardoned, and then, according to Howell, the negro went' to the plantation instead of reporting to him. How.
