Indications point to hocus-pocus footballing Friday the kind the crowd likes that is, If the weath erman feels In a cooperative mood by game time. The Pioneers, ex pected to outheft their Southern foe considerably, are to call on the wTn and single wing intricacies as offensive' weapons, mixing up the two with lads like Frank Gar land, Bruce Barker, Frank Os born and Ed Baker to make 'em click.

One also wonders how much it's to cost John Q. to make up the other $25,000. And all this to merely break even! . . Yep, we're , anxious to 'see how Matchmaker Joe ' is going to handle this one and still keep his shirt But then you can't blame a guy for trying to get the very best possible for his town and Waterman may have two shirts . . .

The new con ference lists two reasons why Chemawa isn't Included: (1) A "B" school and the only one in the league, Chemawa should cater strictly to "B" competition, and (2) in trying to maintain both "A" and "B" playing schedules the Indians ask too much concession of other "A" league members. A tough blow to the Indians and their prep comeback aspirations, for now "Chief Tommy Thompson's band will find troubles, lots of 'em, in lining. up seasonal schedules. The new league members won't play. 'em and neither will the surrounding "B schools, which , feel that Chemawa is far too big and strong to be a regular opponent Tough too since Thompson has done such a whale of job in bringing Chemawa back into athletic prominence over the state the past two years.
