Much speculation attaches to tne
possibilitv of Captain Buddy Armer
returning to the Main lineup in time
for the Breckenridge game. Ills
arm. broken in preseason practice
is still in a sling but the bone is knit
ting nicely and there Is chance he
will get in the big fight. He was a
hero of Mains 7-6 victory over BracK,
enridre last year. Coach Clarke VIII
saw nothing about Armer in relation
70 the coming contest, but it is gain
cred that il he does use his captain
il will be in a sort of "pinch-hitters
role. .ho
.Buster" Carver, star tackle OF the
Breckenridge team, who has been gu!
for three weeks with a broken snai,
bone in one ankle, is walking around
again and. doubtlessly will be ready
for play on November l..
