Army's offense will be built around
Texas Jack Buckler, the nimble triple

America honors last year. Capt. Joe
Stancook, an expert blocker and heavy
duty plunger, completes the solution
Of half the backfleld problem. Ed

Ralph King, a Buffalo boy, are slated
for the other backfeld assignments.

"A s THE nucleus for a revamped

Beall, regular tackle last year,
and Bob stillman. Colorado boy who
alternated last season as long-side
guard.
To fill the end berths vacated by
Pete Kopcsak and Paul Burlingame,
Davidson had tentatively picked Bill
Snuler, q converted Jackie, ana NOT

Tom CLIFFORD are leading contenders
for the pivot position. Carl Miller,
tackle. and Bill Brearly, guard, round
out the present line, but there's q
battle for at least three of the regular
positions.
Armys passing attack has been a
powerful scoring factor for the past
several years, and with Buckler to
engineer the overhead game, aided by
the new, more bullet-like ball, the
coaching STAFF is concentrating on the
aerial game.

GOOD WORKOUTS
Says He'll Fight Until He
Drops to Retain U. S.
Championship.
By BOB CAvAGNARo,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

-OREST HILLS, N. Y, Septem-
- ber s-Fred Perry appears to
be poised for another year as
mems singles tennis champion
Of America.
Although the British holder of the
title has not yet had an opportunity
or occasion to unsheath the lightning
Of his strokes, he is easily the cream of
the 80 survivors in the third round Of
the current flfty-third national tour
nament.
Perry cut down his first two oppo-
nents without letting himself out, all
though in each match he gave the
gallery O glimpse Of his strength, as
he permitted his opponents to run up
leads and then stepped up his pace to
q burning speed that almost knocked
his rivals from the court.
Perry lives and loves tennis. Be.
cause he hasn't been able to get even
satisfactory workouts In the tourna-
ment, he leaves the stadium court
after the matches and plays with Q
friend on an outside court.
Has Lots Of Fight.
I'VE got to keep my game sharp"
he explained today. That's
why ! like to continue playing
right after q match is finished"
The sparkling Briton, who retained
the Davis Cup for Great Britain by
his fourth-match marathon victory
over Frank x. Shields at Wimbledon
in July, knows that the American en-
trants are out for his scalp and there
fore declines to make any forecast
about his chances Of repeating.
I'm out to win, naturally" he said.
"but won't say that I'm going to re-
tain the championship. I'll guarantee
only one thing-Il fight until I Drop"
To Perry all of his American chal-
lengers look alike, and he has no
special fear Of Roderich Menzel, the
towering Czechoslovakian who Is max
ing his first appearance in the Ameri-
can championship.

Others have tossed of McLarnin's s

moment, heavier than when Ross
beat him in May, this can be
only o punching fight. Not fast
enough at 20, fag end of his career,
to cope with the youth that bubbles
out of the champion, Jimmy has
drilled everlastingly on the right hand
that leveled almost everything it has
touched in Is years Of campaigning
from the fiyweight class up through
the welterweights.
Jimmy nailed Ross with that right
hand in the second round OF their
first battle and Barney took 1t, shook
his head and, finding it still in place,
came on with fresh confidence to
sparkling victory. He wore McLarnin
down with his relentless, sharpshoot-
ing attack, but even then the margin
was narrow.
So, for him almost as much as for
McLarnin, that right fist holds many
answers. Just coming into his full
powers, bigger through the shoulders
and stronger, Ross must conquer,

example, it reduced its deposits at

This tends to loosen UP bank

In this connection, We may
also note that both the loans

member banks increased their
investments in Government Sc

1t seems not improbable that

not a desirable condition. But
the government is increasing its

helping them to swing the bigger

the government will increase their

These excess reserves are al
