and a good deal of scrimmaging.
The yearlings are setting their
sights on Bill Glassford's varsity
whom they meet on Sept. 22.
Due to injuries, registration
and boys dropping from the
squad, Hanscom was foced to
slow up the tempo of last week's
drills. But in spite of these
handicaps, the young gridders
still managed to get in several
valuable scrimmages.
With the official opening of
school today, Hanscom expects j

Because of more experience and
all-around squad depth, the Husk
