Football Practice
Soon To Begin
Orphanage Champions of Last Year
To Be Coached By Lonnie
Dunlap.
The orphanage vacation came to
an end on August 18th, though the
schools do not open till Septembe'r 1.
While waiting for school the boys
are at work seven hours a day on the
farm, in the dairy, in the shop, in the
printing shop, etc. But this leaves
a little time for play. With the state
high school football championship to
their credit last fall it may be easily
imagined what form the play takes.
At this season the team looks light
and rather weak, as five of last year’s
team graduated and are entering col
lege. ' • . ^ • (xt
-f* The'team tkfe year trill be coached
~-j by one of the 12th grade boys, Lotihle
Dunlap. He has played high school
ball for four years and is ineligible
to play this year. He knows the
game, is a fine player and will have
the finest possible support from his
orphanage brothers. M team work
cqunts then the boys will give a good
account of themselves. Win or lose,
these boys are determined to play
clean ball.
