season of soccer captain best palm and cornelius represent the talent in the 125-lb class and this weight should be well rep resented with an intercollegiate champ enacting that role in the 135 pound class there are no regular varsity men back with the exception of poliska who most likely will represent that class due to his three years ex perience on the squad willis of last year's frosh team

been scrim maging against the varsity quite regularly they are ai rways capable of holding their f superiors in check and that is no small task for any team on last tuesday night the frosh stepped out

the outstanding man because of his consistent ability to score be sides these men there is a large squad also working out each night which promises more good i material the value of a freshman team in developing material for the varsity is very evident this year because of the success of last year's yearlings on the pres ent squad levin billmeyer berman and swartz*stein are all showing up very well
