iean alternate in action.
. AS was the case a year ago,
I one team probably will be
made up Of big, rangy chaps
! and will sport a physical ad-
vantage over most of their
opponents.
Twenty uniforms have been
issued court candidates who are
expected to carry on throughout
the year. Anthony Latona, a
freshman sensation with West
