We had separate programs for r beginners and the More expert competitors on both the Junior and senior Levels and i believe that was really Good Brincy said. That Way we weren t putting people in positions where they were completely Over matched.

Several people who should know better did exactly that last weekend the first one for Germany Bennor basketball and wrestling teams. Coverage instructions were carried in this column two weeks ago. Never since 1969 when i was Given the prep sports editor s assignment has it appeared in prep Pickin s that first initials would suffice.
