Seven letter men, headed by Captain C. B. Bradford '26, have reported, and there is a wealth of new material available. In the heavyweight class, T. D. Howe '28, last year's Freshman leader, C. M.

It is an interesting adaption of Irving's folk lore classic and it has a charm and mellow homeliness which are found nowhere else with just this flavor.

...year's leader, H. R. Wood, '27. R. D. Harman '26, Carl Stearns '26, B. J. Goldberg '26, and F. B. Turner '26 and veterans available. In the heavyweight class, a contest is likely to develop between T. D. Howe '28, last year's Freshman captain, and S. S. Wilson '28, as Bradford is too light for that class this year and W. P. Locke '27 is ineligible...
