I n addition to inserting the zip into the Orange attack, h e is touted as one of the greatest passers ever to en roll at Syracuse and is a sprinter and top kicker as well. Apologetic Fred Solomon, a sophomore, wanted to try out for a sport. He gave some thought to football but foued out the squad was large already, and anyway he was in experienced on the gridiron. A buddv told him it wouldn't be too difficult to learn lacrosse so Fred showed up for practice. Expecting to b e slighted as a neophyte. Fred was startled whe„ Coach Nick Thiel placed him at goalie- and said apolo getically: "We won't be able to keep you on first string very long if somebody better show s up." Ankle Trouble Hits Booters, Drill Progress Slowed Down A little gremlin named “anklitis” has firmly encamped himself on the threshold of Coach Bill Jeffrey’s soccer camp and he is caus ing the Lion mentor a lot of headaches for his home debut against Bucknell tomorrow. Anklitis is a common enemy of soccer players since it is caused when a rival booter misses ball and hits his opponent’s ankle. Right now four of the Lion soccermen have a bad case of this malady. Frank Taucher, star de fenseman, has his ankle taped, but Jeffrey thinks he’ll be all right for tomorrow’s encounter against the Bisons, while the other starting fullback, Chuck Margolf, is plagued by an infected bruise which he received re cently.

From there until the 250-pound Dick Bag ley, the Orange will have over a quarter of a ton of gridders to throw into the two important posts. Besides Custis and Slovenski, Syracuse has a hard-driving full back in Lee Buchsbaum, 185- gridder from White Plains, N.Y. Buchsbaum piled up 257 yards in 85 attempts last season and ac counted for two of the eleven touchdowns scored last season. Should Syracuse score Friday night, the educated toe of George Brown will go into service. Brown, the Baysinger counter part of Lion specialist Carl Stur ges, held a two-year record of 27 straight placements before missing his first kick in the Ni agara game. With regular end Bob Hicks still on, the sidelines with a sprained ankle, Coach Bob Hig gins will send Dennie Hoggard, 200-pound letter winner from last year’s undefeated team into the fray. man also was kicked in the ankle during the bruising contest against Army last week.
