one which fairly bristles with name players name players who have really buckled down to play hard football as the record of the 176th Infantry shows The 176th Infantry uses the formation and has a "brilliant pass-ing attack as well it for its quarterback Bob Walerfield was the man who put UCLA in the Rose Bowl last New Year's Day with his masterly handling of the plays in which his own brilliant passing was an important pari One of his best pass receivers is another Rose Bowl star George Posehner of Georgia Roth were All-America stars In 1942 and have done nothing to disprove their

team with a good chance of winning over Navy You help admiring the man both for his frankness and his loyalty to the boys and we have a sneaking idea- his own size-up of the game that on a dry field the Cadets have at least an even chance is just about right seen both teams the Army against a fair Colgate team and Navy against a reallv dangerous Georgia Tech team We I want to put the whammy on the Cadets by picking them to win just say we lean toward them a little That shouldn't tip them over If Army had a real line-pulverizing back like it much better Glenn Davis is a slicer not a plunger The Cadets' must rely on speed and deception If the Navy ends can stop Davis they stop Army We sure they can do it Anyway it should be a great ball game between two teams In which Army and Navy men
