Walter Miller, one of the best athletes turned out by the local high school in recent years, ami who was graduated this spring, received a letter in basketball and one in track, he being the only one to receive two letters yesterday.

Owing to the fact that there were two ten players who figured in nearly I all of the first team games during the season it was necessary to give out ten letters. There was little to choose between the ten players and when one player was injured or tired out, Coach Kennedy had a good sole stitnte to rush into the-game. Five of those ten players will Be hack next year, while four of those receiving small "D’s" will be back. Those nine, players, together with new material from the freshman class, will give Coach Kennedy much good material to work next winter.
