favorite, Herman Steiner of Los

Yanofsky of Winnipeg, champion of
Canada, for the title of national
open chess champion, have invited
the 18-year-old Canadian marvel to

But Yanofsky has returned to the

study as medical student and it
seems improbable that the generous

strong ground attack, reeling off 13
flrst downs to PrincetonS two. Only
in the air did Lakehurst fail to hold
the Tigers. Bob Perina, Tiger half
back, connected for two long touch
down passes and scored one himself.
Mont connected on six of ten
passes as Maryland dealt Connecti-
cut $40 trimming. Those six
competitions netted the Old Liners
l72 yards, which meant Mont will
carry an average of more than %
yards per pass completion against
Lakehurst. Three of his passes went
for touchdowns.
Hubey Werner, rapidly improving
sophomore, may replace Elmer
Rigby at the right halfback post,
Rlgby is certain to see considerable
service due to his baH-carrying abil-

Coach Jack Hagerty Of George

When Monte Davis recently
joined the Army Air Corps he rep
resented the seventh fullback clipped
off the 1912 Mississippi roster. Only
half of the Is lettermen expected
back are on the roster now.
At the end of last season they
were touting the 1912 Mississippi
team as the best Mehre's ever has
had-now they're saying it will be
the worst. Last years hopes were
based on an array of sparkling
sophomores, such as Backs Doug
