Profs Will Not Go South and Wilson Put on Market
New Haven Feb 16 George Weiss the local magnate gave no definite word on a southern trip for the Champ in spring but it is believed unlikely the team will travel south before the league season. The reporting date for players is April 1 at Weiss Park if the club stays home. First exhibition game likely April 4 against Yale.
