There were no repeaters on the first team from last season. Both second and third teams comprise some excellent players, many narrowly missing first team honors. Several who rated possibly second or third team positions last year were placed on the honorable mention list, the main reason in most cases last time before they take on the Washington Redskins for the league championship. But the Cardinals are bent over with injuries, and a collision with the big bad Bears at this moment is not regarded as healthy, even for a team sound of wind and limb.

Meridian's colorful Wildcats, champions of the Big Eight conference, placed three players on the 1942 all-Big Eight eleven following the annual meeting held here last Sunday. Jackson, Vlcksburg and Green and Southern recovered on the 20.

Vetrano scored on a 20-yard lope through right tackle. He missed the placement, but Mother Earth smiled sweetly ss great handsful of caustic seed were broadcast upon her heaving bosom.

At that point, on their own three, Coach Reed Oreen's boys went to work on the visitors In earnest.

Joe Vetrano, viewed by many as the only back In these parts as good as Dip Dews, faked a kick behind the goal line and plowed out 10 yards to the 13 before he could be- muled like a game cock. He was like a high voltage wire broken at one end and on the loose.

As a great defensive back he had lota to do with the Wildcats' defensive record of allowing only 12 points to conference teams. He was also a fine punter, an able passer, pass catcher and blocker. Howell played roving guard on defense and was an excellent down-field blocker. He was exceptionally smart and displayed marked leadership qualities. Wright, a rugged performer, was a vicious tackier and an exceptionally good blocker.
