Forty-five football suits have been checked out to pigskin candidates this fall and most of the boys drawing uniforms have been reporting regularly for practice periods. Hinshaw expects about ten more boys, who have been unable to report thus far, to turn out for practice next week. A little dummy scrimmage was on the menu for Monday workout but actual scrimmage will be in order next week as Hinshaw puts his charges in final shape for the tial encounter at Seymour September 10.
