known that Bolton is back In the game
and there is a likelihood of Kail and
Roberts joining the local squad In time
to get fn trim for the Baktr game
here November 11th. ,
" Kail's big bulk, speed and 'noodle"
would be a wonderful tonic to the
younger,; inexperienced uid , lighter
players and Roberts connections with
footbal would be an asset. The story
comes from Baker, that th flaws In
that team- are being luckd out for
