 Capt. Foxy" Knox, the Petrel full
 back. will probably be the chief horn
 in the side of the Wildcats Saturday
 Knox Is one of the best backfield men
 in the south. and his seventy five yard
 run last Saturday through the entire jSewanee team demonstrates that he is
 still demon on the gridiron. l Bob Nichols and Frank Simpson are the mainstays of the Petrel clan on the line. Nichols is veteran and his ex.
 perience enables him to be a great
 strength to the Oglethorpe team. Simp-
 Son is a huge man and is very valua ole

 these boys do not play against Ogle-
 thorpe, it's a, cinch that they will be
 rearing to go when, the Wildcats tackle
 Auburn in Columbus.
