Brown is high on Bruney. "I like his football instinct and I like him as a person, too," he said. HALFBACKS carried over from 1952 include Ray Renfro. Sherman Howard, Ken Carpenter and Rex Baumgardner. Renfro, the club's fastest man in 1952, is being counted on to blossom out.

SINCE THE fatal playoff game to the Detroit Lions Brown has acquired a number of halfbacks who may or may not plug the gap. Most prominent draft choices are Billy Reynolds, Pitt, and Fred Bruney, Ohio State. Kenny Konz, formerly of Louisiana State and the first draft choice of 1951, will be tried at offense although he is listed aa a defensive man. The same is true for Bruney. BROWN ALSO is planning a long look at Elmo Natalie, another player draftee who cornea recommended as a "good one."
