teams, Georgia Tech and
Southern California, kick off
the activity tonight in the
Dodgers ball park at Los An

the line after losing the Nc
Keever brothers, Mike and
Marlin, and gigantic Tackle
Dan Ficca, have a bevy of
halfbackS that present an i'm
proved running game. But
their passing offense Is still
untested. They have % letter
men back.
