By JESSE MOODY
The Indians eni'id llioir -caooti
In a cr unlnteiostln! mid dls

conditions that a t( un has evci
battled under at Aniuilln
The things that keeps a pel
son alle is what Mi Muiiv must
think abcut that is tho fu mo
The Indians do not nertssoiilv
lose but one plovci and not over
two at tho most that huc plaved
regutnrlv this season
Prcxj Anderson has included
Dlacklc Wadzeck on his mvthi
cnl cloven foi this vear Wc he
lleL that he did not go wiom;
In doing so Wndzock has been
an rutstandlng plover in ovorv
game this cm for Hit Indians
He has pot haps made more tack
les on returners of punts than
nnv other man in tho oonforonce
He is a defensive and offensive
plavcr of no mian abilitv also
Baskc'hall is Just now getting
under way for the Itcdmen
There are no piedktions from
this department what results tin
Indians mav have this voai Hut
If the team has team vvoik
and endurance tluv will mak
up foi vvhatcvci lack of abillt
thov hrvo
The dub that repioscnls Mi
Murrj can easilv ovuum si i
feet and then some litis advan
tage in height and too a vein of
plavlng together should help tin
club
A C C has won this halt ol I
the conference but due to nn In
eligibility on tho patt of Sul lloss
It has) put Duniol linker in the
running again To d ite tht game
is in doubt us V ( C contends
that Sul Ross has no rights to

Theio wus some ciiticism from
Goobtr Kcves niv frienel of the
