WHtSNERS HURT
ENROUTE Home
FOR HOLIDAYS

Plans to spend the Christmas
holiday with their local relatives
were painfully and abruptly
changed for Mr.. and Mrs. Richard
Whisner and their 32-month-old
son, Ricky, when the parents were
seriously injured Saturday after
noon in traffic accident near
Lewisburg, Tennessee.
According to information re-
ceived here by his paren.s, Fire
man and Mrs. Boyd Whisner, SIS
Fulton Street, the accident hap
pened when another motorist failed
to stop as he drove into the high
way from a side road.
Mr.. and Mrs. WhiSner and their
son were enroute to Port Clinton
from Huntsville, Alabama, where
he had been attending a special
school in interests of his work at
the Erie Ordnance Depot.
Ricky was not injured in the ac-
cident, and was being cared for
by a private family until relatives
could reach Lewisburg. The WhiS-
ner car was demolished in the
crash.
Mrs. Whisner, an expectant
mother, was reported seriously
hurt but the exact extent of her
injuries was not known immedi-
ately. First reports from Gordon
Hospital, Lewisburg, Tennessee,
where the Whisners were taken,
stated that Dick was badly cut
about the face and head.
Late Saturday afternoon, his
mother, Mrs. Boyd Whisner, and
Mrs. Tom Leigbacher, Toledo, Sis
ter of Mrs. Richard Whisner, left
by auto for Lewisburg. Dicks
brother, Frederick, and one of his
co-workers, Thurman Armstrong,
also left by auto to help in the
emergency. Their travel south was
hampered by bad road conditions.

nine survivors from an original
spring turnout of 100 football
players will report to Head Coach
Eddie Erdelatz Monday as Navy
begins preparations for the 1868
season which opens September
26 against William and Mary.
And, although many experts
are rating the Midshipmen with
Pittsburgh, Princeton, Penn and
Villanova as among the East's
potentially best teams, Erdelatz
says: Il am willing to settle right
now for a 7-and-2 record.
Il am afraid they are rating
us a bit too high" Erdelatz con-
tinues. Navy won six, lost two
and tied two last year for its best
record since 1945.

The Middies have lost "a mem
bers of the so squad, including
two lettermen. There will be ia
miliar faces in the line but the
starting backfeld will be almost
brand-new. Phil Monohan from
Burlingame. Calf, is the only
back with offensive experience.
The ID lettermen who will re-
port tomorrow include II line
men, headed by the All-America

Jack Anderson and John Riester,
Tackles Don Fullam, Al Kozis-

With the exception of the ends,
Navy's line will closely resemble

sixth in total defense among the
