Needless to say that the majority ma-jority of these boys are attending atten-ding BYU on an "athletic schol- " arship," ' else they would "not have made the brig trek to Provo just to get an education. " Somebody found out that they could play football and invited them to come. J The "Cougar Roster" also revealed that there are numerous num-erous positions to be filled oh a modern football team.
