No changes are scheduled In

are any the Washington eleven

far ahead Coach Joe Kuharich
can afford to try some innoya-

al Dorow. for example. has
been working ut halfback and
fullback, in addition to taking
his regular turn at quarterhack
In practice. and Kuharich would
welcome q chance to try him ct
one Of those positions under
fire. Dorow learned the full
back assignment when Bob
Goode was injured, just In case
he might be needed to spell off
Dale Atkeson.
"Al Is Q good, all-around foot

harich said today. He's get

guy eddie LeBaron) while he's

other guys an opportunity to
See what they can do"
Goodies Leg Improved
The other guys include rookie
Ralph Guglieimi Of Notre Dame
who has earned a defensive posi-
tion but is lined up behind Dorow
for o shot at the quarterbackine
spot.
Goodies ailing leg is improved
and there Is an outside chance
he'll be able to play tomorrow
but Kuharich isn't counting or
lit. Atkeson win start and II he
does as well as he did last Sun
day against the Browns, there
will be no complaints.
La Vern Torgeson, veteran

ably will see action. but Hal

II the Washington backs viii be

The county already has esti-
mated rates will be raised to

that the number Of customers

In another development, Mr..
Massey indicated that the next
session of the General Assembly
in January will be asked to pass
legislation giving the county
powers Of condemnation SO that
it can expand the water system

When citizens expressed con-
Germ over the possibility that
