...Pratt '28, Simonds appears to be in better form than ever this fall, and should prove, with Pratt and R. W. Turner '28, veteran center, a source of steady strength to the University team.

In this respect the loss of W. L. Storey '30, last year's Freshman bulwark, through ineligibility will undoubtedly prove a serious handicap. J. E. Barrett '30, Storey's running mate last year, is the leading prospect for relief work. He is the solid, powerful type of tackle who can stand and administer plenty of rough treatment. H. L.
