season of Chester Fowler. now prop
crty OF the Cincinnati Nationals, who
was considered the greatest passer
N the southwest, Mcknight has pro-
duced a dangerous eleyen--one good
enough TO give any squad a battle.

have rounded into great form and
the absence of the brilliant passer
is not so conspicuous as was expected.
