Fine ends are few and far between
this football season. II games played
to date can be judged as adequate
tests.
From the University Of Maine to

Benny Oosterbaans, no Vic Hansons,
no Fishwicks and no Thayers.
However, while there are no great,
outstanding wingmen who have made
their appearances 70 date 1928 has

First to mind comes Dick Aberna-

Pittsburgh. a smart defensive man
and a sure handler of passes; Yves

one of the best defensive players in
the West: Ed Messenger. Of the Ar

who is adept at hurting accurate

Pete Miller. leader OF Loyola Of

are Branch McCracken. Of Indiana;

Other ends who have received spe-
