ning to prepare for the games which
mark the closing of the 1934 sched

home game with Tecumseh here on
November 9th. Tecumseh has one

inexperienced squad which Coach
Rothert has this fall. The closing
games on the Platter schedule will
be away from home. On November

to Rock Port, Missouri. Football re
lations on a two year basis have been
begun with this Missouri school in
