winner slated to return. M. C. Jones, Jim Mounce. Marvin Fin-
cher, Rex Phillips, E. W. Smith and Jack Taylor are all new-

Lucky and Joe Suotwell are “T” award tackles back. Roy An-
derson and Mike Schuster are squadmen who will be out hustl-
ing, ,.and John Mjpseth is a freshman tackle.

porting. “T” winner Dan^^aultas heads the pack with squad-
man John Badgwell due to provide the chief competition. Logan
