Gazella, of Olyphant, Pa, football

While Mike has not signed con-

the Yankees, that he has an offer
from that team as well as from some
others and that he will cast his lot
with the Yanks when he IS gradu-

Gazella, who is twenty-four years
old, is said by Bill Coughlin, who at
one time captained the Detroit

for Lafayette College, to be ready
for the major leagues as a second
