Of stalwarts could hardly be more
evenly matched than the forward

The Army has four six footers
in it's starting line. So has Navy.
Average height of the Army tor

That for Navy is six feet 3-14 inches
a difference of practically nothing.
When you gel into the weight de-
partnent, the similarity is even
more pronounced. Arny's great line

Navy's 1850 - difference of a

SAUNDERS MEETS
EDENS SATURDAY

Heavyweight Ward Saunders who
doesn't like leaving the ring with
corey face any more than any
one else-probably less-will have
an opportunity to show his disap-
proval next Friday night when he
is scheduled for a return bout
with Johnny Edens, Promoter
Huck Lilies announced yesterday.
Edens won in the last meeting
after sending Saunders to the can
vas three times with sweeping
hooks that seemed to be coming
out of the left field bleachers.
Saunders came back gamely af-
ter each upset, and both seemed
to be vying for the aggressor' IS
role, but Saunders lost the fight
and sustained a sound humping
around the face and body.
It was that first left hook that
did the damage, Saunders said. He
intends to do a better job of solv-
ing his opponents style this week.
Edens played shortstop on the
Shipyard All-Star baseball team
and was a grid notable at New
Hanover high. Saunders is cur
rently connected with the electrical
department at the shipyard.
