The showing the Everett boys made on Saturday was not entirely sat- isfactory to Coach Cleo O’Donnell, for they did not, in his opinion, play up to their standard. He hopes to rouuul the players out early this week, how- ever, and expects that the team will be able to do its best against Detroit. Considering the condition of some of the players when they went inio the game against Waltham, Evereff came out of the contest in gocd shape. Fitzgerald, the quarterback, whose collar bone was broken in the Mailden game, suffered no serious ef- fects. The other boys are more or less lame, but there is nothing of a nature to injure their chances next Saturday.
