Romney Rom-ney looks the picture of health and.wnile he has as yet not been discharged he expects to be wearing civilian clothes again within a. short lime. J luring his high school career Romney was regarded as tho best athlete that ever attended the J'Jast high school He was a star 'in every branch of athleUcs and won the Richmond medal for the best .all-around athlete iu the state during dur-ing the lfl7 season. He was captain of tho gridders lor two years and was a capable basketuall and baseball player. The Ottawa, university officials are after the services of the local" star as well as tlie University of Chicago, but as yet Romney has not decided a3 to his future. Coach A. A. Stugg of Chicago wants "Mitt" for the Maroons, and it is possible that Itomney will continue his schooling at t he Chicago "U." Ho will spend the holidays with his parents and return to duty. With Stagg seeking Romney. Rom-ney. it is highly probable that Coach Tommy Fhzpatrick at the Utah university univer-sity will also throw out the net.
