Lawrenceville coaches speak with
awe concerning the end play of fif-
teen-year-old Puffy Bigler, son of
Princeton's very good 1919 tackle.
He is six feet one inch tall and
weighs ITS pounds Tony JUS
tice, Gonzaga's 195-pound end, is an
other player who will bear watch
ing in 1887. Big Brother Eddie, of
the Boston Redskins, claims the kid
is due to be one of the nations
best Aside from the fact side
armers always did worry him there
was another reason why Wally Ber-
ger had hitting trouble last year.

naturally, his mother having been
one of the best figure skaters in the

ground.
Walter Brown, the BostOnian who |
coached the United States Olympic |
hockey team, has discontinued his

for 1887. Princeton plans to stress
a tight defense instead of the high
powered offense that faltered SO
often in time of need last fall.
