Munro will go with the same basic lineup that has given the varsity a 5-0-3 record so far this season. The only players in doubtful shape are insides John Mudd and Hedreen.

"I just feel sort of sunk," he said, getting ready to go back. "It's been a long, long eleven years, and I'm wrung out like an old sock...
