The Broncos Bron-cos will meet the powerful Los Angeles City College team In the local gymnasium on that date and it will be necessary for them to put In some stiff practice sessions ses-sions to be ready for such competition. competi-tion. Llndquist has at least forty men working out each night and about twenty-five have already been cut from the squad. The group will be cut to about thirty men for the remainder re-mainder of the practice season, but further cuts will be made when the league season opens. Many of the forty men now work ing out are showing promise but It is too early for the coach to have any definite Idea as to what players will win berths on the Bronco team. Chick Terry and Bob Lunt lead the group back from last year's squad, with Clark Mathews, Udell Smith, Kyle MacDonald, Arden All-red All-red and Bill Brockmcier, also last year squad members, close behind them. Jay Whipple, who played for the B. A. C. team two years ago, Is back, and will be hard to keep off the squad if he can take off about twenty pounds of weight that he put on while in military servlse. L. C Miles, another former Branch A. C. player Is back again and should be valuable to the team. A number of former Cedar high school players, who went Into service ser-vice when they finished high school, are getting their first try at college ball and are looking good. Among them are Don Dee Seaman, David Urle, Boyd Holyoak, Donald Necley and Gall Woodbury. A large number of players from other high schools are also looking good, and many of them will be wearing Bronco suits this winter. Two of the outstanding performers In this group are Ronnie Walsh of Las Vegas and Llndy Ncllson of Sallna. Fans will see much of them when the season opens. |
