Paul Stem, pretty good tackle for

Halas himself believes the oldsters
have reused themselves to meet the
challenge so well he'll have to use
them on the first team.
The Bears have rockies who can't
be kept out of the lineup, however.
and heading the list is Halfback j.

Their job of keeping the title in

departed from these shores was In
1886, when Fred Perry came over
from England to win his third United

Should Drobny and Sturgess both
skip past their youthful tormentors,
it would provide the tournament
with the third all-foreign final Of its

The only others were in 1926,
when Rene Lacoste beat Jean
Borotra in an all-French title
match, and in 1888, when Perry de-
feated Jack Crawford of Australia.
OF the two young Americans still
in the running, Gonzales has the
physical equipment to take him all
the way. He was unbeatable at the

expected to repeat today by approx
imately the same margin.
The game, which counts in the

Washington time. Neither team will
will be as big as last year. The Dea-
cons, who averaged 220 pounds in
the line in 1947, now averaged 205
pounds and the Colonials' forward
wall averages 1914 pounds.

Rowland was as follows: Szany and
