Rain and sleet failed to slow William "Biff" Glassfoid's spring footballers in their drills Tues day afternoon. Around 60 grid candidates braved the frigid weather as Coach Glassford held his second spring practice session. The squad went through a brisk workout which included limbering up exercises, blocking and tackling fundamentals, and running. This will be the order of the day for the next few weeks, according to Coach Glassford. Thr linemen were hard at work developing form and drive on the dummies and sleds, with the backs concentrating on starting out of 1heir positions and sprints. Coach Glassford asked that all men w ishing to pl;iy football this spring and next fall that were not included on the candidate list see him in his office as soon as pos sible. He hopes to work in some of those not invited out in this first six week period.

The Beta's held the lead all year until the basketball tourneys and then dropped to third behind the ATOs and the Phi Delts. With all points added through the bas ketball season, the ATOs lead with 1272,2 points, closely followed by the Phi Delts with 1265 markers. The Betas have 1190 points and fourth place Sigma Alpha Epsilon has 1115 points. The DUs and the Phi Gams are tied for fifth place with 937' points. The seven remaining events on the schedule are Rifle Shooting, Outdoor Track, Softball, Water basketball, Badminton, Golf and Tennis doubles. Among the four top teams, the ATOs appear on paper to be ahead in Softball and waterbasketball. The Phi Delts look to be the strongest in the badminton and tennis events, while the rifle shooting favors the Betas. In track and golf the ATOs and Phi Delts appear to be equally strong. As is usual in the Jack Best race, the winner will probably be decided in the softball competition. as the correct method of making introductions, tips for traveling and other points of etiquette.
