The third reason for increased trave

Gently in Quebec.
The program was inaugurated last
year with vast stretches of new roads
being built, old highways leveled and
repaired, level crossings done away
with and dust-laying compositions
spread over gravel and so-called Sec
ondary roads.
During the last winter no construc-
ton or repairs were possible, but the
roads department was not idle. Trans
portation Of gravel and stone was
made, rock blasting was carried out
and wood cut for the construction Of
bridges so that when working and
weather conditions are favorable,
probably in two or three weeks, every
thing will be in readiness for the start
Of actual construction and repair
work. This means a minimum loss of
precious summer days.
To be completed this summer is the
180-mile stretch over the much
travelled Montreal-Quebec highway.

very tortuous road along the side of

Lest you be not familiar with all

keep throughout the season. So I'll
60 down the list alphabetically and

Jim Jackrabbitt) Abbitt. fullback
from Elon, above all is keen stu
dent Of football. He picks up things
quickly and has learned the Redskin
plays fa1fer than any new man on

ability and plenty of hustle
Hank Bartos. the tackle from North

is big and fast and pulls out of the
line exceptionally we'll, as WELL I
should say. as any man on the squad.
After three years OF playing defensive
tackle in college he should make a
good defensive guard when moved in

Bradley Big and Fast.
Hal Bradley. the end sensation who
also comes from Elon. has the size
and speed to make a wonderful flank
man. He has much more co-ordina-
ton than most men his size and on
top OF this he is a good blocker.
Leroy Campbell. the old Western
Maryland back, is very rugged, running
very hard straight ahead. He is not the
shifty type, relying more on the power
OF his 200 pounds. He also is a good
passer.
Bill Hartman, the fullback from
Georgia, has good competitive spirit
and is one Of those players who looks
better in a game than in practice. He
also is good passer. a fair kicker
and Is clever in running through the
line and in the open field.
George Kramatic. the old Gonzaga
flash, probably is the fastest of all
the rockies and without doubt the
fastest starting back on the entire
squad. He gets tremendous leg drive

Will be no radical changes in styles Of

This fall be as good as last?
We won't have the reserve strength, ("
he explained. And our first string
won't be quite so good. We lost too
many good men, including three ends

Refusing to elaborate on his own

OF those OF other Eastern elevens. He
regards Dartmouth. Fordham, Cornell
and Holy Cross as standouts.
And Harvard might be right up
there" he added
All Of which means, look out for
Pittsburgh!
