Colleges over the entire country extend invitations to this club to perform before their students and fans.The 1032-33 official lineup in eludes the highest type players that can be secured from California to Missouri, every player being more than six feet in height, and u known star.100,000 Spectator*One hundred eighteen managers of western teams and 200 sports writers acclaimed the Swedes as being more thun advertised. Almost 100,000 spectators witnessed the Swede*’ games in 1931-32.Lust year the Swedes won 110 of their 118 games throughout the south and west. Two of the games lost last year were to^ the strong Brigham Young university quintet, one of the leading college teams in the nation.Ail members of this squad are strictly amateurs who carry their own amateur cards and are eligible to perform against any collegiate club.The two week layoff will not help the Axemen and unless the Swedes are attacked with a siege of gout our casabe artists are in for a drubbing.Coach McCreary will undoubtedly start his rangiest pair of for. wards in this contest which are Gove Allen and Harry Cox.
