This week Sacramento plays in Salt Lake and Oakland plays Vernon. It will do a lot to tighten up the race if the leaders take another walloping.

If Savage wishes to coach a high school team he will probably go to Franklin, according to some well founded rumor. Savage should be able to turn out a championship con tending team at Franklin, as a wealth of material will be on hand grid call is sounded.
