MONSON, Secretary of State of the State of Utah, DO HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing is a full, true and correct copy of the three constitutional amendments proposed by the regular session of the Twenty-Sixt- h Legislature, 1945, and also a full, true and correct copy of the five constitutional amendments proposed by the First Special. Session of the Twenty-SixtLegislature. 1946, as appears of Best Yale Squad But the Red and Blue doesnt stand alone. Howie Odell has the squad Yale has known in years. The cdmbination of Eli and Levi can be sensational, Levi being Levi Jackson, the dark antelope who gives promise of a big year. In Barzilauskas, Yale has one of the 'best linemen that ever wore the Blue, looking back to such stars as Pudge Heffelfinger, Eddie Glass, Gordon Brown and a long parade of others from forgotten years. But Jackson and Barzilauskas are not the only two Yale stars. The alert Odell has one of the biggest and most capable lines that Yale d has known in years, plus a backfield that might easily give Eli her best team since Bill Mallorys outfit back in 1923. Yale also would be a match for the prides of the South and the pick of the West. You can add Lou Little and the Columbia Lion to this group. Littles Lions won eight out of nine games last fall, losing only to Pennsylvania. This season Columbia has an even better team with Kasprzak added to Rossides and Kusserow in the backfield, a speed back, a powei back and one of the best passers that ever chucked a pigskin. So fax as the college game goes, Coach Little doesnft bar either Luckman or Governali in this Kasprzak comparison. One more tackle, Lou tells you, and we might worry somebody. Lou and his Lions worry everybody, even if they drop a game or two. best-looki- ng 220-pou- well-rounde- ' h record in my office. IN WITNESS WHEREOF.

Th Big Red from Ithaca and Cayugas Waters has a star tackle in Wydo and a star back in Martin. Columbia just missed getting Wydo, whc' fills half a line. McKeever, like Little, is another coach who can lose three games and still look good. Which reminds me of an inter view I once had with Bob Zuppke at Illinois. How do things look?" I asked. I can lose every game and still look good, Zup answered. Dick Harlows Harvard team is the dark horse. Give Harlow any sort of material and he can jolt your teeth out. He has a star fullback in Moravic, a star tackle and a much improved squad. Syracuse can be another dark horse under Clarence Munn. So far as the East is concerned,' we string with Army. As Rip Miller of Navy told me at West Point, As long as you have Blanchard and Davis, you have a real team. Id like to add Tucker at quarter to this pair. There is a pretty fair chance that he is the best quarterback in college football. Tom Hamiltons Navy team took the leading losses in material. Navy material may be doubtful, but Hamilton, plus Rip Miller, are not. foot-,ba- ll Send us the price of a years subscription if you are in arrears. We need the money. all-arou- nd |
