Fifty-five men reported Thursday
morning for the opening of the foot-
ball training camp at the Teachers
College and indications were that
the enrollment in the camp w^uld
grow to 75 by the first of next week-
The rain prevented the men tak-
ing the field Thursday morning so
skull practice and conditioning ex-
ercises were held in the gymnasium.
It was thought, however, that drill
on the field would be the Older fcr
the afternoon.
With the exception of Echc’j and
Moore, guards, all of the letter men.
wiio are back from last year’s team,
were among those to report. In ad-
dition some promising new material
was on hand.

left his par-cracking game in the
