ability as coaches, but aa
teachers, their moral qualities
and their influence upon the
boys with whom they came in

Tha advancement af Grav
to tha head coaching Job was
In line with tht school s policy

ter and will remain at North!

year'a championship squad live
aouth of State street and
might possibly follow Gustaf

not be Immediately determined.
