Why should Cole have passed
more when he was running the
! best rushing machine in major col-
lege football? Cole himself was
1 une of the biggest rushing threats
i in the conference, besides the fact
! that the Kagles' Sl-1 record the
best in the conference should sub-
stantiate that the blond youth was
the league's best field general.
Cole got our vote, and it wasn't
because we were prejudiced. We
are just familiar with his record
and his abilities.

spectators with edge-of-seat action

state honors in high school, was
another cog in KA's attack.
