Call Two Eastern Gridders
Great Football Stars AT
Sports Meeting

NEW YORK, Oct. 81. -WH-
Pennsylvania is coming along
quietly with a team which can
hurt anybody, the New York Foot
ball Writers Association was told
Monday as bouquets yer tossed at
the Quakers' Tony Minisi, Army's
Glenn Davis and st. Mary's Her
man Wedemeyer.
Pointing determinedly toward
Army's undefeated powerhouse,
Penn has a potentially great foot
ball team which still hasn't been
tested in three easy triumphs, said
Bob Hall, former Yale quarter
back.
'It's the kind Of a team which
can upset anybody and may wind
up as the best" Hall said. "And
while Minisi may not be as good
as Davis, you can bet he isn't far
behind"
Davis, however, was described
by Coach Steve Owen of the pro-
fessional football Giants as "thc
best running halfback I've ever
seen in football" and Owen has
seen them all come and 60 for 20
years.
1.-THE only thing that will stop
him is graduation" Owen said.
He is tremendously dangerous
and one of the fastest men I've
ever seen with the ability to cut
under a full head of steam"
Cmdr. Bill Ingram Of Navy, who
has secuted Notre Dame for the
Middies, touted Johnny Lujack Of
the fighting Irish as the ''best field
general in college football.
Wedemeyer, star of the St.
Mary's team which whipped Ford
ham, was rated highly by assistant
Fordham Coach Leo Paquin.
"He really would fit well into an
All-American backfield composed
of Davis and Doc Blanchard of
Army, and Lujack," Paquin said.
