House bookies have chosen Eliot as the pre-season favorite for the title. Almost all of the players on last year's second place team, which had only 14 points scored against it (by Dunster in the first game of the season), are returning.

Of course, the Friars, led by the meteoric Johnny Egan, were ninth in the nation in pre-season ratings, but the 30-point margin was still ominous.
