have a chance to throw one OF
their highly touted power teams
against a fast moving and tricky
aggregation when the Mad Magi-
clans of LeMoyne College move in
to Marshall, Texas this Thursday
to tackle the Bishop College grid
ders.
Since Thanksgiving is celebrated
November 81 in Texas, the game
will be a Turkey Day" classic and
the Magicians are hopeful OF
emerging with the trimmings.
This marks the first invasion of
Texas soil by the Magicians.
MAD MAGICIANS IMPROVED
AFTER TWO WEEKS OF DRILLS
When the Magicians were forced
to cancel the Tennessee State bat
tie, an extra week was afforded
to prepare for the Bishop engage
ment. The Texans will face a daz-
zling aerial attack with William
Bill" Hall, backfield ace and ALL
American timber, throwing the
leather. 49,
Hall has held the spotlight con-
tinuously in the Magicians' attack
this season. In the scoring de
partment he has accounted for IA
of the teams total % points. In
the Alabama State game, at the
beginning of the season, it was
the pass from Hall to Captain
Breadon that gave the Magicians
their one point margin and vic
tory against the Lincoln Tigers in
the Mid Vests classic played in
ST. Louis, Mo, Hall ripped the
Tigers line for a touchdown and
