Earl has played fine golf in team competition all season, fcut has fallen short of expectations in tournaments. He has been hitting the ball better lately, and if he is around next year should be one of the top ranking players in the state. Football's In The Air-Many Air-Many grlddera have already arrived in town for opening of B, Y. U football practice Wednesday and most of the ' boys appear In top shape. Gail Lewis and Reed Nllsen, guard and center, respectively, seem as hard as nails after their construction Job at LaMar, Colorado, this summer. Both have lost excess weight, especially Lewis, who Is down to a mere 210, Reed is at 190 about his best weight. If tihe other lads are in as good condition, Coach Eddie Kimball won't have to worry too' much about getting' his gridders Into shape. Draft Takes Toll The selective service act is really being felt in football circles this year. Professional teams, are particularly hard hit, and college coaches have their fingers crossed. For instance, Greeley State, which plays the Cougars here October 3, has lost about 30 squadmen- or so Coach John Hancock reports. Ten seniors graduated, 13 went with the National Guard, two are ineligible, and another half-dozen are due to be drafted. Although most of the boys at Young it are not likely to be drafted, Eddie Kimball is at the wailing wall moaning numerous losses and hoping that unexpected events don't cut heavily into ytie squad as they did last year. Tennis Tourney Proves Success The Provo city tennis tournament, which ended Sunday, was a highly-successful affair, with many youngsters competing. Lee Buttle But-tle directed the tourney. TODAY'S SPORT PARADE Why Grid Players Migrate Proves Puzzle To Ferguson BY HARRY FERGUSON NEW YORK, Sept. 8 (UP) The air is getting cooler, kids are peering peer-ing at helmets in windows of sporting sport-ing goods stores and on Saturday Catawba plays Davis & Elkins at Salisbury, N. C Another football Bea.s,on,.i3.uppAus.., - At the moment this desk is piled high with brightly colored rosters rost-ers from colleges all over the country. coun-try. They contain much valuable and interesting information such as the fact that a man named Bereolos who plays for Notre Dame pronounces his name "Bare-ee-oh-lu." " These rosters explain everything every-thing except the one Item that this department is vital-ly vital-ly interested in. Why Is it so many football players have nomad blood and -wander so far from home to do and die for their alma mater? Scour Country Once, in the dark of the moon, a man whispered to me that colleges col-leges had a practice of scouring the country looking for football material and that when they found a good high school player they offered him something called a scholarship. That man, however, was a confirmed cynic who also assured me with a perfectly straight face that there was no such person as Santa Claus. So I hurled the lie back into his teeth and continued my research on why football players are nomads. Harvy, HI., is one of the loveliest love-liest villages of the-plain. It has character and beauty. It also has a profound interest in the welfare of Oregon State on the gridiron. National League W. L. Pet.
