,GrambIing Prayers
For Quarterback
Seem Answered
By Collie ]. Nicholson

GRAMBL1NG, La. - Especially
- A stick-out freshman looks like
the answer to Grambling's ques-
tionable quarterback situation.
The downy -cheeked newcomer is
Norman Shaw whose accurate
passing and heady signal work
pyramided DuSable into grid
prominence in the Chicago area
last fall.
enaws dipsy-doodles in early
scrimmages have included split
second savvy, deft taking and high
grade passing.
A man of all-around merit, h.
entered the quarterback picture
with enrolment ink still staining
his fingers. Coaches took one look
and right away he became the
hoopla boy among signal calling
hopefuls.
backtield Coach Albany Jones
said his passing should have a dis
concerning effect on opponents who
rig a stiff line defense in antici-
patton of pulverizing running as
sault.
He added that his throwing will
handspring Grambling's aerial and
Jet-T attacks.
A Fortnight defender with nat
ural athletes relaxation, Shaw was
an all-public league back in Chica-
go last fall and was considered the
pest school-boy passer in Illinois.
