degrees yesterday, but the
weatherman forecasts clear skies
and somewhat higher tempera
tures for this afternoon.

Smeltz at second base and lead
ing off; Hal Hackman • at short

Other people are playing foot
ball these Spring days. On the
Washington State front, in Pull
man. Head Coach Phil Sorboe ex
pects '4B Cougar blocking and
line play to be much improved
over last year when the west
coatt eleven dropped a 27-6 ver
dict to the Nittanyrnen.
Next season the Lions will cross
the nation to clash with the Cou
gars in the year's final fracas.
Sorboe will continue with the
T formation—with variations—as
the offensive style of Cougar play.
At Spring practice drills he dis
counted early talk that he might
swing to the single wing.
Bob "Tubby" Keiser, who won
the award as the outstanding
Cougar blocker in 1946, will prob
ably be used as both guard and
fullback, alternating on defense
and offense. He was out of play
with an injury last fall.
