Another interesting piece OF "curh"
talk conferred around Harry r. Taylor

denim High school for three years, and
a tackle on Arch Reilrs Marshall Col
lege eleven In 1919. Taylor has several
friends In the university and has been

rangements for a room and filing his
entrance credits. While here he took
up with Director Etansbury the ques-
ton OF going to the football training

"Blondy" Taylor. who created a sensa-
ton here in 1916 by making the team
