fair proportion Further than that, the
material is on the light side, and the
average weight of the varsity is not

such as Williams. Amherst, Trinity,

Kraft, who played tackle NJ Brown Tor
four years, and himself. houghton

who rs playing quarterback. lie says
that the youngster IS fast and aggres-

football brains. lie also speaks highly
OF Blaney. at right end. who does the

by James s. Carolan as saying:
