handicaps that adverse weather conditions have caused Coach Mfcyo of East high school states that his team has advanced farther that last year's at a corresponding date The Aces have eleven returning

lash at one side of the line Mantnr Ed of has no returning starter he does hftve several players that saw a great dead of action As relief men Uuft year Edwards reports that almdstrallof his expected seniors have returned to see service for thfe Red and White North also will probably use the same fundamental type of offense that drove the Redskins to first place in the Ark Valley leaguel The

the power style to the hewer deception type El Dorado is the first school in the league circuit that has made known intentions use the deadly formation in this play ARMY PLAYS PROS Monday morning will
