But when it comes to how much
the 20-year-old Oklahoma Aggle

It's pretty safe speculation, though,
that Fenimore will get less than the

After concentrating on new ends
for several weeks, the Redskins
shifted tactics today and signed
Henry Harris, %, a tackle from the

put his name on two-year con-

Dick McCann.
Harris, a native of Camden, Ala

Starting time at C. U. Is $3.50.

heavyweight class. La Fond is count
ing on his strength in the middle
classes to give the Cards their first
victory of the season and If Billy

Kings Points outstanding battler
is Capt. Stan Wheatley, who'll meet
Gersin. Wheatley won his bout In
the Army match last week, atoning
for his only collegiate defeat.
West Point will feature a District
lad, Joe Herman, in the heavyweight
bout. The Cadets have only two
veterans, Capt. Harry Bell, 1856

Maroons in front last night as they
lost an early lead but came back In

mighty midgets, 1884, before the
usual wild SRO crowd. This fol-
lowed a close opener in which West
ern led all the way except for few
minutes at the start of the second
period to upset Central, 46-40.
Pacini had a hot hand in the
first half and Chase came through
in the late going as they paced
Tech to it's second series triumph
and kept it the only undefeated
schoolboy quint hereabout. The tall
Maroons had real trouble pene-
trating Easterns tight defenses and
mostly were held to outside shots,

Three times in the first period he
