With two alternating backfields

developed into a cracking affair.
Although there were breakaway
moments for some ball-carriers
noticeable too was the staunch de-

Yoder, Waugh, Santone, and
Standlee formed one backfield
quartet but Yoder's troublesome
ankle was cause for his limited
action. Dudak, Stocked, Nebelecki,
and Ostergren constituted another
attacking foursome. Timing was
stressed to insure close harmony
between the line and backfield
operators.
Standlee was generally able to
pick up that first-dawn yardage
and Waugh, Santone, and Oster-
gren clicked on longer runs. The
tackling was sharp and slight in

line is projected to Miami by way
Of Richmond, va; Charleston, S. c.:
Jacksonville and other intermediate

Besides direct service between ma
jor points, Mr.. Monro announced

direct mainline service to nearly 100
other cities, some Of which are along
the route currently served by the
company, and many of which have
never before had air service.
"The new routes are direct out
