ley, secretary, announced yes
terday.
This division Is for boys nine
through twelve and they will
compete for positions on the
four regular division teams.

players, and those who do not
make the regular team will
be assigned to the minor di
visions where the two teams
will play their games on Fri
days. ?

ior division on Saturday was
marred by rain, Oakley said.
This kept some boys away
for they did not know if it would
be called off. He said there

not come out, In fact, nearly
enough to fill the vacancies
created by the boys of last year
who are too old this year.
Oakley said that to be sure
that every one who wants to play
has the opportunity to do so, the
boys who did not register last
Saturday can contact one of the
coaches or his assistant coach.
He will register the applicant
and make arrangements for
him to be assigned to a
team.

sistants are:
