tackle Andy Rascher, popular Hoo

ton on the card. Two other heavy
weight tuSSleS are on the bill.
Tuesday nights match will be one
of the first times that RaScher will
find himself outweighing an oppo-
nent, for Coleman scales 205 pounds

is recognized as a near freak" in
the mat game. He stands but five

Coleman claims the Jewish heavy

triumphs over a list of outstanding
huskies. His chief style of offense
is his highly touted kangaroo kick, y
with which he has won the ma jority
of his bouts
Rascher has seen Abe in action

to prove his superiority over the
New Yorker. Rascher's stock took a

All the coaches expressed satisfac-

new forward pass rules, which do
not penalize an incomplete pass and
allow one incomplete pass to be
made in the end zone without pen

They believe that these two
changes will result in more scoring
and few tie games.
The coaches decided that infrac-
